Not a wine drinker...

Becky - only if you are also a vegitarian and/or vegan! or low carb! :) While you may miss out on such a cultural icon of italy (wine) - hopefully you can eat the cheese and pastas!! Enjoy and have fun too!

Don't worry Becky, no one will give you weird looks for not drinking wine. I would encourage you to try a glass of wine while you are in Italy. I never liked wine before my first visit to to the Boot!

BTW-Vegetarians have plenty of food options in Italy. Vegans, now that's another story.

No one will look at you funny - I was on a trip with a friend who was 16 weeks pregnant so no wine for her. Order water - acqua con gas (sparkly) or no gas (still). You'll be fine.

I wasn't a wine drinker UNTIL I went to Italy, give it a shot, you may find that you like it! Salute!

I would definitely recommend trying the wine in Italy as well...it's amazing and shouldn't be missed!

I'm with you Kelly...I don't care for beer either..and I'm German!!! Yes, I'm an anomaly

Both bottled water and assorted soft drinks are omnipresent.

You will not be outcast nor an insult. I drink a small amount of wine - only in Italy. I am a beer drinker and find Italian beers very pleasant!
