As someone from a wine country: wow. That is a description of nightmare.

I wouldn't use that even for cooking.

Its a tonic wine, it was traditionally literally used as medicine, hence tasting like medicine

I read some comments and found one describing the wine as such, being enriched with caffeine. But wow!, nonetheless. That sounds just awful.

It tastes pretty good if you don't think of it as wine, if you’ve ever had Vimto it tastes like that

I'm not sure if wine used as medicine is a point for or against the NHS.....
