I don't know, for me I didn't like coffee when my only exposure was folgers drip brew. After I was introduced to french press I started tolerating shitty coffee because, it wasn't good but at least I knew what it was trying for now. Same thing happened with beer.
That's happened to me as well. Up 'til a few years ago I couldn't stand whiskey of any kind. Then, a friend poured me some Johnny Walker Blue Label and explained how to drink it. After that, I started enjoying other blends and single malts, and eventually even bourbon.
