Cooled, the consistency has this illusion of being like soggy rice that was cooked with too much water.
I just heated it in a saucepan and am sipping it out of a coffee mug. Heating defitely makes the experience better. It actually feels like a proper wine with some acidity that fights back and the rice flavor isn't so overpowering. This would be excellent with bbq or heavy savory food. I can also see why it's popular as a cooking wine.

Yes. I had Sauvignon Blanc at the recommendation of a friend a few months ago and it was around 12%
I didn't get the childhood I wanted, and my adolescence was like an extension of my shitty childhood. And my young adulthood was stunted and delayed by my parents insistence that I suffer college despite no apparent ability or desire to even profit from a higher education. It's weird. I was lightyears away from where I am today. It's only been two weeks since I arrived home, but I'm already starting to feel pressure. Like, time is ticking, almost 25 years have been stolen from me and left to circumstance, and now that I finally hold the reigns to my own future, I'm sitting around without an idea what to do.
So don't take me as some fucking wiseman who knows what's going on. But I will say that nostalgia and the desire to retreat into the comforts of childhood is a false thing. It's a dead end. There's no possible way that we can have those same experiences now as high IQ cynical adults that know how to read. It's like even the most mundane shit is a tightrope walk.
I am almost 24. I should have a career and savings by now. Don't be like me.
