I am most distressed to report this, but my wife bought two bottles of this stuff. I must type this part quietly as she is nearby. I threw it out months back. She has yet to notice this. Don't tell her.

I recall there was one particular chocolate-infused wine which was, in the words of a fantastic wine shop proprietor I know, "What you should get if you decide you just have to make the mistake of buying chocolate wine." It was actually mostly wine-like, albeit fortified like a port, and dark red, instead of chalky brown.
The worst wine I've ever had was a "port" from a WV vineyard. It tasted roughly like off-brand cherry cough syrup. I did bring some in to the wine shop proprietor above, and told him, "This is the worst thing you will ever taste, but... you have to try it just to say you've done so." He tried it, and agreed with my assessment (and probably eliminated my case discount for the next 6 months as punishment).

Yak Butter Tea - Kind of tasted like a bit of rancid cheese that had been melted down and mixed with toilet water
Campari - I just don't get it as a main flavor in a cocktail. It tastes like cotton candy and death
Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale - The one and only beer I've ever dumped after a few drinks

Cactus Jack's "tequila". Or, more adeptly, Cactus Jack's Tequila-like flavored, processed grain alcohol product, since the ingredients did not contain a whiff of agave. Had the taste and color of cheap vodka passed through an old boot.
That, and I got me a bottle of Thunderbird wine. That'll definitely put some hair on your chest.

Worst drink ever: one time, in New Orleans of all places, I ordered a Sazerac and (foolishly, as it turned out) I didn't watch it being made. I took one sip and spit it back in the glass. The young bartender had apparently decided that the drink was much better with Southern Comfort instead of rye. Another was quickly made according to the original recipe!
