Also CA wine is wild expensive and overly sweet. Not all, I know I know, but the prestige stuff from Napa is comedic.

  Most people don’t prefer bone-dry wines, but are shamed into asking for them (example: “comically sweet”), so the vintners avoid calling anything “sweet” even when it does have a bit of sweetness.

    Man, i love some Porto, such a shame it's so expensive. The most readily available sweet wine i can find here in Europe os sold in comically big 1.5l bottles, i'm a little ashamed to consume it in company.

    Idk man, tell that to the market in Europe. I didn’t say sweet wine was bad, I said Napa wine is over priced and often sweet and juicy at the expense of more refined flavours - but still costs ridiculously more than nicer wines from elsewhere. But that’s America for you. And, before you write me off as a pure US wine hater, I often stop into a shop here in London, Pacific Wines, which specialises in US stuff and buy things. As I said, not all US wines.
