While you might disagree, very dry beverages have never been enjoyable through a straw to me.
I'm no stranger to booze straws, but red wine would be one of my last choices for one for me.
It's because dry beverages aren't very tasty
That's a pretty bold statement (though TBH I don't really disagree). I'm not a big fan of dry beverages generally speaking, but different strokes for different folks; even for the same folks, tastes evolve (the booze I enjoy now was disgusting to me half a lifetime ago); and also context matters a lot. I have enjoyed dry red wines much more with a well paired dish or even mixed with a less dry drink than I have by themselves.
People who are not you or me can apparently even enjoy them without accommodation.
A straw still sounds like an unappealing addition, though.
My comment was tonge-in-cheek, enjoy whatever you like :)
The feeling is mutual!
