Default The worst wine I've ever had

Pizza Vino, California, uh 2005 vintage even. My wife bought it on a lark because she liked what it said on the label.

But... too bad it's undrinkeable. Even at $4 a bottle. It's like sour gasoline.

I feel the same way about that "Red Truck" wine....

I said with a name that bad, the wine can't be much worse..

it is.

A friend told me I was a wine snob and that I had to do a blind tasting with him and some of our other friends. Each person brought 3 bottles, and I discovered that, no, I am not a wine snob, cheap bad wine tastes like cheap bad wine regardless of whether I can see the label or not. I later found out that he had made me drink some jug wine from Carlos Rossi. It was by far the worst wine I have ever had (well, 2nd worst: several month old Manischewitz from my grandmothers refrigerator was the worst).

Agreed firerose, 100%! I think for myself the worst I've ever had was this fisheye cabernet sauvignon, I think 2003, BUT I would preface by saying that other's that drank it with me actually found it to be good.

here's a heads up for you wine drinkers too. There's a not very well known deerflied wine that is sold in small quantities. It's called Red Rex, a cabernet Blend, it sells for about $23 in New York. It's a superb wine, best bang for buck, not cheap but not expensive. If you're feeling curious I recomend picking one up.

Delicato White Zinfandel gets my vote. I don't know what vintage it was. It was really bad, but at least I only spent a few bucks on it. Tasted like vinegar.

Default Vinegar Wine

I'm in no way a wine connoisseur, but the absolute worst wine I had was while I was in Madagascar. Apparently they make several varieties of wine there.

It's bad, really bad. You might as well just chug a bottle of vinegar.
