but you can also get very nearly the same taste for really very
little if you know a bit about wine or are prepared to do a bit
of research. Of course people's tastes vary as well. What is
really good for one person may not be to someone else's liking.
I am rather conservative in my wine drinking, having been
brought up on the odd burgundy, some decent claret, Chablis and
Frascati for the light whites, and of course Muscat de
Beaume-de-Venise with pudding. Port is also good for
after-dinner with Spanish sherry or Italian marsala before.
I wish I had the money and the constitution to be able to do
this on a more regular basis all in one meal. Once or twice a
year a 'blow-out' does happen, but most of the time my

with on a day-to-day basis.
Of course it's easy if you live in a wine making region. The
local wine is the best. Ask anyone from Bordeaux which is the
best wine for drinking every day and they will mention their
local vineyard and its product. Go to Sicily and they will say
the same. The two wines could not be more different, but the
locals will vehemently stick up for their local product as if it
is the only wine a sane person would drink (everyone else being
The Excellent French Wine
There are many reasons why French wine is considered to be among the most excellent wines throughout the entire world. France has been producing wine through its entire history, and has developed techniques and dedicated such a great amount of time in order to found fertile spots which are able to produce several different wines of a quality that could never be equaled at other places of the globe.
Wine is part of the French culture and France cuisine would not be the same without this drink. Drinking wine with meals is a common French tradition and is possible to see families enjoying thei ..
outsiders so they don't know anyway), although they will also
know enough about wine to appreciate another good wine if they
try it.
I happen to have been very lucky indeed on occasions by being
offered a friend's "best wine", (that really means you are a
very good friend if he/she pulls out a Latour '72) but so often
that means the most expensive rather than necessarily the best.
I have one friend who really is a wine buff and does not have a
lot of money. He buys wine from the little wineries just next
door to all the favourite and famous ones for a fraction of the
cost of the 'real thing'. They are often very similar indeed,
and my inexpensive visits are an education. The chap is a
cartographer so he's got maps and wine guides everywhere to work
out the cheapest alternatives to the "great vineyards". If I
asked him "what is the best wine?" he would probable say "the
one that tastes identical to the real thing for a fraction of
the cost.
Of course if you are a wine buff already you probably have a few
'special ones' up your sleeve; for some of us, continued study
and tasting will help our vinicultural knowledge; if you are
lucky enough to live in the Chianti region of Italy then you
Wine Tasting for the Average Joe
Going to a wine tasting can be a very fun and enjoyable experience. However, many people do not attend for fear of not knowing exactly how to act or what to do. There no great mystery to wine tastings, just a few things you should remember.
As far as etiquette, usually the ladies are served before the gentlemen. Some wine tastings offer you bottled water. Use this to rinse out your mouth between tastings so your palate is clean for the next wine. There is often unsalted and unflavored crackers and bread to help palate cleansing as well. You should always handle the wine glass by the ..
will have your own best vineyard from which to get wine; if you
live anywhere where you can get a bottle of wine you will have a
best wine for special occasions from the local shop.
Best wine depends partially upon the company as well of course.
