Welcome to my mom’s fridge, where she has these 4 opened bottles in there for literally years. My mom is not a fine wine enjoyer by any means. She typically likes very sweet and cheap wine. I decided to taste each one, having only a very small sip of each, and report my findings to each of you to enjoy.
From left to right:
Peach Shortbread (Mill Bridge Winery) – This was absolutely awful. Not turned or rancid, just the funkiest savory sweet peach flavor. I’m assuming they were kind of going for a cookie flavor in this, but it certainly does not taste like that anymore. 0.5/10
Purple Rain (Luva Bella Winery) – Made with Concord grapes is an understatement. I don’t know if this was ever wine. It tastes straight up like Welch’s grape juice, but even sweeter. Not as bad as the first wine though. 1.1/10
Beau (Bluestone Vineyard) – This one I know for a fact has been in the fridge for close to 4 years. The reason I know is because my wife and I got married at Bluestone in August of 2021. This was one of the wines we chose because we knew it would likely be a crowd favorite. An enjoyably sweet white blend that is very similar to moscato and named after the family’s dog. We had some bottles left over from the wedding, and I guess my mom ended up with this one. It actually tastes very similar to when I last had it years ago. 5.0/10
Peach Cotton Candy (Duplin Winery) – As you can tell, my mom definitely has a type when it comes to wine, and this one is right in that sweet spot (pun intended). This tastes exactly how you’d think. And if you’re thinking gummy peach ring, then you’re right. This one has probably only been in the fridge for a little over a year or so. Sadly this is the second best wine of the lot. 2.5/10.
I hope you enjoyed this. This was purely meant for a laugh and not trying to make fun of my mom. I love her dearly, and it honestly brought me joy to see these silly wines in her fridge after all this time.

Dear God.
Purple rain, purple rainnnnn
Thats wild
What about the pairings?
I had no idea “wines” like this existed
If any needs me, I’ll be in the corner in the fetal position.
The horror..
Fantastic post!!
The wines sampled are so relatable as someone from Alabama, but I can’t believe that you actually tried them.
I love your mom. And I love you for loving your mom. ❤️❤️❤️
Finally a post on my income level 😂
Awesome post.
That “wine glass” is also a thick abomination. Perfect pairing.
I actually enjoyed this
You have my attention..
You’re brave!
No no no. Never buy a wine with a dessert in the name noooo😭😭😭
I got a headache just looking at that peach candy wine
Where did you find these? Pawnee, Indiana?
Your mom single? I can work with this…
Great content.
I just threw up a bit in my mouth
You know what, your mom has clearly identified and purchased what she likes. Who are we to deny a woman the simple joys in life?
Also, please tell me you threw these all away and bought her new bottles of her favorite, artificially flavored alcoholic grape juice.
Ah, you’re down east NC I see. Every Duplin I’ve had the misfortune to taste has been utter garbage.
You’re a brave soul.
We are also likely close to each other (Nash Co here) so if you ever want to pop by for a real tasting, head over. I’m visiting Bulgaria next month, bringing home a suitcase of wines. They’re exceptional and unusual. Happy to share.
You are brave or maybe just like to see the whole world burn.
Now there’s a lady who buys her wine based off the bottle
I know Bluestone Vineyard! It’s a staple of the Virginia ABCs. I haven’t been impressed by their wines and I’m surprised they leave the state.
Awww. We like what we like. Cheers to your Mom!
Throw the whole mom away *solemn nod*
So what was WOTN?
The way I almost spat out my drink when i first saw the pictures and hadn’t read the post yet
“This tastes like penicillin”
Tell your mom to drink what she likes and don’t worry what all the losers on reddit (myself included) think! I hope she enjoys it. There’s a wine for everyone
Honestly tempted to print these as gag labels for a Halloween party out here in Sonoma County. My friends would be terrified.
What’s fascinating is that Duplin also makes wine from the oldest living vine in America (as far as they say) as well as this swill
I know you said what you said but that all adds up to 9.1. So just mix them for an unforgettable experience
I wish we could still award posts.
I love the golden retriever label. Its clearly a small family run place. I’m sure you are just showered in affection when you visit.
Those small Mason Dixon Line wineries are always so cute.
Did a tasting room in a family home converted basement once. What an experience.
If that’s what she likes, good for her! Life’s too short to drink what u don’t like.
Bless her heart 😂
