It doesn't stop teens from drinking, it just makes them go to jail if they get caught.

Precisely- as a conservative, I'm against taxpayers footing the bill for prosecutors, judges, and jail time for stupid sh*t like this.

Actually, I think it encourages teens to drink because it is seemed as such a taboo. Many of my friends and other people say that their drinking was almost cut in half when they turned 21.

Uh oh. I'm only 20 and living in the USA but I'm still going to vote. While I have not had a large amount of wines by any measure, I've had enough to put my vote for bone-dry red.

And to be honest, I drink since my 13 years (back then just few times a year), but kids now are drinking since something like 10, or 8. Times are wild :-D opportunities are countless.
And OK, if something, then red wine. Don't ask which one, I don't know. |
If you're not USA-centric here with respect to our (utterly stupid) drinking laws, you go to jail.

I vote for go to war at 16... wait... that's not the Thread right...??? I go for dry red wine... makes me feel alive, but I like all types of wine depends on the food we eat, you know... white wine if it's fish, red if it's pasta or something like that...
Back to the current discussion... In Central and South America there are laws against drinking before 18, but here we start always at 13 or something like that... is more like some one said that if you get cought is because your kind of silly by been cought out... jejeje... Wine is such a plesaure...

I like a bit of fruit in my reds, not too much tannin.
Whites I prefer to be dry and mineral-y, I like them very clean. Don't care for whites that are too sweet, most Rieslings I don't really enjoy for this reason. I still like most Chardonnays though.
I too find myself to be more of a red drinker these days, consuming much Bordeaux and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dry white or dry red, depending on the food. I love a good Chablis, but it’s quite expensive. Just for drinking I usually choose dry white, so that’s where my vote goes.

Although the best wine I ever drunk was a sweet white (Moulin Touchais 1959), I usually prefer dry red.

Don't like wine that much. White Vinho Verde is the only one I can tolerate. Not sure where it fits in the poll options.

I like to try all different kinds of wines. I like dry red wine the best, and like my dad I have tasted that the most, but I'm discovering some nice white ones also, like Riesling and Gewürztraminer.
It's nice to compare wine from different grapes, like the cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, syrah etc. I still want to try out Californian zinfandel, but they are hard to find where I live (at the French border, where the French wines are absolutely in the majority). It's pretty cool that I can just buy my French wines in France. It's a lot cheaper also.

Well, as a Hungarian, I have to like good wine! Only within bounds, of course. Can't really choose a favourite type, though. I'm keen on dry and semi-dry wines and also sweet (Tokaji  ) or semi-sweet WHITEs. However, I can't stand anything that's sweet and red, like Sangría. That coupling is pretty awful.

OK, I didn't see the joke about the Jewish whine: I want to go to Miami...
They all have their charms, probably my favorite is dry white.

Dry Riesling is a great pleasure.
I like Red Zinfindel, fruity, a little tart, not too tannin-y.
Chardonnay is probably my most common. Too much red = headache and hangover.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
