Various Things That People Whine About Wine
There are various things that people whine about wine. I hear them all the time, but there are solutions for most. So what are these things? Read on and be amazed.
#1 – “I Hate Wine”
Maybe it is because you never had a good one. Seriously, can you imagine someone drinking a poorly made bottle of wine as your first experience? Or maybe the wine has gone bad? I think people who never had wine before need to be indoctrinated slowly. For example start with something easy to drink and on the sweeter side like Moscato d’Asti. Then, introduce Riesling, Pinot Grigio and chardonnay in that order. Use the same strategy for reds. Start out with a nice Lambrusco, then Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chianti and Cabernet Sauvignon in that order. Also, teach people how each wine can be even better with certain foods. For example, Moscato d’Asti with a cannoli. Heavenly!
#2 – “I Do Not Like White Wine
Again, maybe it is because you never had a good one. Also, if Chardonnay was your first experience, then you need to start with ones that are easier to drink. And, there is nothing like a nice Italian white to go with seafood. My favorite is almost any Italian white with sautéed Broccoli Rabe. I know that I can get you to like whites.
#3 – “I Do Not Like Red Wine”
Same as the previous, I know that I can get you to like reds. Ever have Cabernet Sauvignon with chocolate. Heavenly! Also, Chianti Classico with Italian appetizers or Antipasto with olives, hard cheese, roasted peppers and Italian meats.
#4 – “Wine Gives Me A Headache”
Not true for everyone. Wine has lots of chemicals in it. One of which is histamines which can cause headaches in some. Everyone should drink one glass of water for each glass of wine to flush your system. This should help lots of people.
#5 – “I Love Two Buck Chuck”
Or is it 3 bucks now? Honestly, you get what you pay for most of the time with wine. Two Buck Chuck tastes like 2 bucks. The only people that should be buying it are those who can not afford more. In that case, no problem. And, it is not even in the top ten in the world. Great advertising.
#6 – “Wine Tastes Like Chocolate Cake”
If your wine tastes like cake, then something went terribly wrong during the wine making process. Some good wines might have a hint of chocolate that only professional can pick up. Otherwise, you have a wine with a flaw. You can drink iy, but I would dump it or return it.
