Like some said, it could just be personal preference. I would go through periods of drinking only beer, then only liquor, then only wine--repeat. I first started out with liquor and that was it...........but when my drinking got
really out of hand, I would drink ANYTHING. I used to buy wine by the box and never needed to put it in the fridge because it would be gone in two days....blech....
If that's what you started drinking with, your palette (here's where I'm talking out of my *** now) may be more receptive to wine than anything else, so maybe that's why you prefer it. Some of the other suggestions I've read in this thread are really good...those other drink options are a little more complex than drinking straight-up fruit juice. Experiment. Try some of the suggestions and let us know what you like.
