Bat having said that, I don't argue with anyone whats good or not becuase everyone could like something else. But I do think most people that say can't drink wine is because they start with something to sweet and they feel awfull after that.

An old friend of mine makes an incredible amount of wine. He's batsh!t crazy, he makes bombs, too. He thinks the Red Hoarde is gonna get him, and he's Imaginary Militia, and he's in charge of all the ordinance and wine. He does a damn fine job of both.
He gets all his winemaking stuff by mootch. He used to gather all our late blueberries, apples, strawberries, cherries, whatever. In turn, he always kept us stocked. He gets all his sugar from the tanker cars at the railyard here where they fix them. He crawls in the tanker cars and scoops every last bit of sugar out. I'm amazed they let him do it, although they might not "let" him.
Anyways...
He makes very lightly sweet fruity wines. I always liked them because they're more like watered down fruit juice. They're very strong alcohol-wise and tend to get away from people. It's fun to watch cause they think they're doing fine, until they stand up.
I've been on the short end of the strawberry wine stick. Once.
