As a side note, the explosion in terroirs from the new world has really (seems to have) made the notion of wine snobbery somewhat archaic. In the 19/20th century perhaps it was a mark of distinction, to put some investment in this. The math is far more dauting to have an encyclopaedic understanding of the field than it was in, say 1930. The growth of new areas, new techniques, and the everchaning weather has made this a fools errand, and a false class marker at best.
- wozniacki 13y agoDispense with the class markers and terroirs. I wonder how many self-professed wine snobs can even tell reds from whites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rmm-xqRHGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rmm-xqRHGw
- brazzy 13y agoAnd dispense with the ridiculous prices. My takeaway regarding wine would be (If I drank any) that anything more than $10-$15 per bottle is probably snobbery- or collectors markup.
- VladRussian2 13y agoand this is just another kind of snobbery - a snobbery toward "perceived snobbery"
