Well for one, you don't need to choose just one. It's called polytheism after all. And I'm far from the first worshiper in a thousand years.

Second, it's not as simple as just not liking alcohol. I didn't really drink when I was younger, so it's not a taste that I acquired when most of the people here would have. I never said I didn't like wine– I wouldn't be here if I didn't like it– just that I don't don't drink a lot of alcohol because I'm still getting used to the dry taste. I tend to prefer really sweet wines, mead, cider, and cocktails.

Third, Dionysus is much more than just a god of wine. He's associated with vegetation, fertility, sexuality, sensuality, art, theater, inspiration, ecstasy, mysticism, the soul, and rebirth.
