OK, that's part of the answer: now why do some other drinks (beer and wine spring to mind) taste worse through a straw?

- tptacek 16y agoBecause not all volatiles taste good, or appreciate aeration?
- mynameishere 16y agoThe same reason that beer tastes bad from a can--you don't get the smell.
- swombat 16y agoI beg to differ. Beer tastes better from a glass bottle than from a can. The smell doesn't account for everything there.
- rlpb 16y agoPerhaps the can smells bad, and the glass bottle smells neutral.
- lg 16y agoI've heard it's supposed to taste better in a can, because a can is better-sealed than a bottle and offers better protection against sunlight. Though personally I can't tell the difference.
- rdrimmie 16y agoThe same principle of 'temperature matters'. Some things are better cold.
- josefresco 16y agoGood beer should be good warm as well.
