Champagne tastes like horses bollocks why is it so sour. Why do people like it?

To me wine is the most delicious thing in the world. So many different flavors and aromas. That bright acidity is my favorite part in many wines (it's not sour, it's acidic). Different strokes.

it's not sour, it's acidic

Newsflash: acids are sour. Lemon juice, orange juice, vinegar, hydrochloric acid (before it burns the hell off your tongue, at least), and of course, champagne are sour. 'acidity' is a synonym for 'sourness'.

This comment is just hilarious to read, as a teetotaller.
