My grape juice has gone sour

Published by blogsmith under Musings Edit This

Is it just me or my grape juice has gone sour because of the season? I noticed that my favourite brand of grape juice started to taste different this month. Since December one I have had three boxes of Solevita red grape juice and they just taste a little sour from what they used to be. You see I have always bought this juice from Lidl since I came to the UK and have always enjoyed the natural sweetness. I have tried other brands but I found Solevita the best one so now I stick to it. After several months of consuming the same brand every day somehow the taste has become embedded in my mind or has been schematized so it can’t be my mouth or something. I was thinking that it’s because of the season. Those grapes are sweeter in the summer until autumn.

What’s the fuss? Well, grape juice is a vital part of my morning routine. When I get up in the morning I have to drink a glass of grape juice to help me with my irregularity. It acts like a detox or a laxative to me. I have just discovered it when I got here in the UK. Probably not all people will have the same experience with grape juice but I’m just glad of its benefit on me.

I used to have a problem with digestion and slow metabolic rate and I had to drink at least one litre of water in a day to be able to be regular. At least once a month I get constipation. Thanks to the red grape juice. I don’t experience it anymore.

However, as I mentioned earlier, my favourite grape juice brand is a little sour this time. But I do hope it will get sweet again soon.
