Knowing How To Wine

Red and white

Red and White

So i’m not one of these wine buffs that thinks he knows ever vintage from every year from every collection over the whole world. I’m an amateur. I have basic knowledge of red and white and that’s about the extent of it. But i’ve done research and any person that wants to get into Wine or wants to learn about it should do just that. Understand grapes, understand their purpose, their use, and the differences, understand that some grapes grow in some regions of the world while others only grow exclusively on some continents.

But do not be intimidated by names, brands, categories, or marketing

wine is wine

its meant to be drunk

enjoyed

and experienced

this is truly the only way to understand wine at its full meaning

you could do all the research in the world

and become one of the most important connoisseur of wine

but if you haven’t tasted a bottle

then you’d be a hack

and that’s the beauty of wine

with beer you know what your getting

its a constant

a safe point of comfort and consistency

but wine is always a mystery and almost a mystic art form, when it comes to se

lecting a proper bottle of wine, be it for a meal, for fun, or for a gift.

but i’ll be damned if, when you get it right, that feeling of success you get, isn’t one of the best feelings in the world.

But at the end of it all Wine is just wine

so stop whining about it

and just drink :)

responsibly ;)
