Well you probably do have bad taste buds but that isn't really the issue.
You can get good wine for 3 bucks a bottle and bad wine for 30 bucks a bottle. It's pretty common at those blind taste tests that all the experts will pick the equivalent of the 3 buck chuck over the fancy designer wines. They've sorta stopped doing those tests lately because it's bad for the industry when everyone finds out what a sham most wine pricing is. 
Has 2 buck chuck raised his prices to 3 now?
That used to be some damn good wine.

All wine tastes like spoiled grapes to me. Bitter and musty.

Red wine is very bitter. I wonder why so many people like it.

They dont taste the bitterness of it. Its genetic. Based on the local environment, optimized to find the sweet spot between not detecting all the major poisonous plants, and having too many false positives. Because of our genetic adaptation we get a false positive tasting wine and they do not.

To me its just nasty. I need sweeter drinks. Of the wines I like the sweet reislings and gewalztaimers the best. (bad spelling). After that its chardonny and other white wines

Wine is fickle because each person has a different pallet than the other. What one tastes another might not. Smells are the same as well. A 300$ dollar of wine that is awesome to one person might be comparable to a 2 buck chuck kind of wine for another.

however, Boone's Farm is not bad.
I was gonna laugh too, but I enjoy drinking Oliver's Soft Wine, its like $7 a bottle and tastes good. Super good wine to get for chicks that don't like the strong, bitter taste.

Even wine connosieurs say 2 buck chuck tastes good but its chemically induced - whereas the real wine is not full of such flavor enhancer chemicals.
As far as bitterness, that might be the tannins youre referring to. You have to find one with less tanins.
And red wiine has 12 to 15% alcohol, its not going to go down smooth like a glass of water unless you're extremely accustomed to drinking alcohol.

I have learned that bad wine typically has a harshness and has either been just fermented wrong or it isn't ready yet. I think I could enjoy drinking wine. I've mostly stuck to White Zin's since they were cheap and actually tasted pretty good but I am starting to notice the difference between that and a real good bottle
