I find it hard to believe a glass of wine matched with dinner does not increase enjoyment of the activity. I realise taste is acquired but for someone who already drinks wine surely this is ignorance.

I've seen someone order a $100 steak well-done. They may enjoy this meal, but they have no goddamn idea what they are missing.

In your case? Absolutely. In the average case? Probably. In his case? You have no way to know.

In my case, I don't like the taste of alcohol, to me it's very pungent. Also, I tend to run on the warmer side, and alcohol tends to heat me up even more. Therefore, for me, a glass of wine with dinner - "matched" or no - decreases my enjoyment of the activity.
