My Review: 🍷🍷🍷 (out of 5)

From scent alone, I assumed this wine would have a subtle dry apple taste, guessing it would not be sweet as it had a stronger alcohol smell. Visually, the wine had an off-white color, and when poured, it was very bubbly. From taste, the drink had a slight honey and floral flavor, while it was bitter and acidic, similar to tonic water. I tasted this on its own with no food.
