I don't like white wine.

Me neither.

We're talking about subjects here, so naturally the pronoun should be "I". The use of "me" would only make sense to me if "neither" was a postposition. According to a dictionary it can be all kinds of things but not a preposition.

  • Why are we using "me" here?
  • What part of speech is neither?
  • Is this sentence a shortened version of something that explains the weird grammar?

    @Ronan ... at which point of the shortening exactly does "I" turn to "me". Your suggestion is just a different phrasing. Here's an example for a shortened sentence: "Hungry?"... is short for "Are you hungry?" – Emanuel Apr 02 '14 at 09:44
