Same here. Mine was mean and abusive. My sweet mother got us out quickly before any lasting damage was done to us children but she paid a high price.
You are right, it colors your outlook on even social drinking.

 I am a woman that enjoys a glas of wine from time to time in a social setting. A few weekends back on Sunday after church. I went to a winery with  a few friends. We had good food, wine, and a good time. 

It's only a problem for people who drink in excess.

I enjoy a glass of white zin before and during din.  I'm though then.

A lot of celebrities are diversifying by selling.  Including having their own vineyards.

Sometimes I think I'm the only middle aged woman who doesn't even like wine.

Huh.  You might be.

I, also, was surprised by how many celebrities have wine lines now!  It must be very profitable or they wouldn't do it!  I knew Kevin O'Leary was big in to wine, but the rest of these names I did not realize.  I used to watch Valarie Bertinelli's cooking show and I saw that she had her own wines.  I have never tried any of them.  

I occasionally have a glass of wine, but it's rare.  When DH and I have gone out for a nice dinner, I will have one.  I am always shocked (I shouldn't be) by how high a glass of wine is!  I don't understand why a glass of wine is higher than a mixed drink?  

I have bottles of wine still at home but I can't remember the last time I drank wine at home.  I see no problem with people enjoying a glass of wine.  Everything done responsibly and in moderation!
