We hear the term all the time, but the exact definition seems kind of vague and shapeless. Beyond merely insulting someone, what do you really mean when you call someone this?
I'd like to hear from both people who are knowledgeable about wine and people who aren't, for different perspectives. And by all means, feel free to psychoanalyze and speculate on the other side too!
At the same time, I ask you to also ponder, what makes someone who is knowledgable and/or passionate about ANYTHING a "snob" about their given interest (what makes someone a widget snob rather than a widget lover, when does love of widgets become combative or divisive)?
If mere knowledge of a subject is snobbery, then every damn one of us is a snob about something, so then what's the point of labeling someone a snob?
