I'm a counter-example. I drink wine. I have no idea what anything is. I've never seen Sideways, and don't know what it's about. I can tell the difference between red and white. I don't really get any of the rest of it. I still like to drink wine. Just a glass now and then. Sometimes I pick out a bottle at the store based on the look of the label.
- unethical_ban 5y agoI think it is nice to know some of the different ways to analyze reds and whites. Dry vs. sweet, tannic or not. Reds, how fruity they are and what kind of fruit (cherry, dark/stone fruit or bright and berry). Earthy/funky or smooth and light. To me, those are things that allow you to elevate your enjoyment of tasting the wine itself. Anything beyond that (knowing region or grape by taste) is turning wine into a hobby, which is fine, but not necessary.
