Woman Tasting Adelaide Tap Water For The First Time Now Understands Why They Drink So Much Wine

A local woman visiting South Australia has reportedly gained new insight into the region’s prolific wine culture, after taking her first sip of Adelaide tap water.

Visiting the wine region as part of over priced hens do over the weekend, a perplexed looking Alexandria Gibbs, 28, explains that she wished she’d at least had some warning before downing a glass of lukewarm water straight from a tap, at a hired bed and breakfast.

As someone who’s quite spoiled with Queensland water, Alexandria says she can’t imagine what it would be like having to suck down that earthy bog water every day.

“Look, I grew up on Toowoomba and we almost had literal bogwater”, explains Alexandria, referring to the 2022 referendum, where residents voted on recycling treated sewage into drinking water, “even then, I reckon it would taste better than what I drank on the weekend.”

Though Adelaidians can confirm they’ve grown quite accustomed to the taste, only knowing of bluer skies when they travel out of state, the wineries that pepper the region are reportedly quite grateful.

In fact, there’s even some conspiracies that the terrible tasting water is all part of a grander plan.

“Why do you think South Australia is the biggest wine region in Australia?”, asks Greg, a lifelong resident of Glenunga, “best climate for grapes, my ARSE.”

“It’s because anything’s better than drinking that fucking water!”

“I’m not an alcoholic by choice!”

More to come.
