I know, I shouldn’t criticize or judge people who have different diets/specific diets, and in general I don’t do that, but - I find it hard to believe that fruitarianism isn’t a joke.

Would you try to drive, or paint, without training and expect to be good at it?  
So why would you expect to be able to understand alcohol without proper training?

There is a range of palates. The most popular beer in the world taste likes horse piss, and I would never recommend anyone drink it, but I can find you a beer that you’ll like.

Same with wine and spirits. You’ve got to find someone competent to show you what will actually taste good to you.
