Champagne. It tastes of bitter, sour and fizz and because of its stupidly intense carbonation, drinking it needs to be done in tiny little wincing sips, lest it bubble up through your sinuses and come out of your nose.

I swear people only pretend to like champage because they believe it's the drink for 'classy' celebrations, so disliking champagne is, in their mind, a 'low class' and ungrateful thing to do.

    It’s only bitter if you get a dry type. Get a sweet champagne.

    Eh, I've tried both. The bitterness I'm talking about comes through on the back of your tongue after you swallow a sip, just like with the dry stuff. I think it's the carbonation that causes it? Sweet champagne just masks the taste a bit at first, but after a few sips it's just as strong.
