Merlot Is An Over-rated Red Wine
Not that Merlot is bad (it can be bad, it can also be very good) it's just the characteristics of it do not match the widespread popularity of it. In general it is a milder red with limited tannins. There are plenty of other mild or non-tannic reds not nearly as well known. And there's good reason Merlot is usually blended in Bordeaux, because by itself as a pure varietal it's usually a little lacking. Sure, it can make outstanding wine, it's not that I don't respect it, it's just over-rated.

Merlot is not for my taste.
I am not really a wine-fan myself, generally speaking....Margaritas are okay though. White zinfandel is very sweet : Not real tasty, but better than the Merlot, I think, overall. Of course neither were aged very long either so......may make a difference too in flavor.
I have heard before that with wines age makes a big difference. Maybe sometime I will get to try one of those.

Wine makes me sick raises blood-sugar and hangover.
Jack Daniels is better: No headache day after, or nausea: It only takes two shots to feel warm inside. Never exceed 2 shots of whiskey. Stop when you just feel good. That is enough. Measure it in a cup. 2 shots only. And if you eat food with it, you wont get silly.

But it is better not to drink: I am not recommending drinking at all.
Just saying is all.....if you're gonna drink? Jack Daniels is not going to make you feel sick afterwards. You hardly need any to get the good feeling.

Wines are too carbohydrates.

I only had it once or twice, and I honestly didn't care for it. It really didn't stretch away from the ordinary taste of regular wine.

Wrong Side.
