How can you tell what the best wines are?
2007-09-20 11:36:23 · update #1
I'm a wine professional and educator so I have to know a lot about fine wines but that by no means I know what the best wines are. Best wines are very subjective. It depends on what you like.
I can tell you the most expensive, highly acclaimed or rare wines in the world but does that really make them the best if you don't like them.
I look for wines that have a sense of place and attention to detail. I want to be able to tell where it came from and that the people who made it cared about what they were creating.
Fine wines come in every style and price range. I could name hundreds but again, its just my opinion.

Practically speaking, the best wines are the ones you like best that cost you the least.
In the world of wine afficianados, the best wines are a widely varied list of sometimes rare-sometimes not, sometimes expensive - some times not, wines that change from decade to decade depending on trends.
One can always rely on great Burgundies or Bordeaux from top vintages to make the list as well as the "flavorof-the-day" trendy wines.
Oh, and yes, I am a wine expert.

Does a wino count as a wine expert?
The best way to learn about wines is to go to the actual wineries. Sonoma, Napa, Santa Barbara. Take your pick. They explain the process of making wine, what the different grapes produce, and what to look for in wine.
You can read all you want, but seeing, smelling, and tasting it first hand is the best way to get to know wines.

A wine expert is called a sommelier. Wine is a beverage or a drink that is mostly formed from fermented juice of any kind, for instance the grapes, and it always contains a certain percentage of alcohol.

actual there are 2 categories of wine, the unfermented fruit of the vine, or organic grape juice, and the fermented variety which you're conversing of. interior the bible, the unfermented wine is the only that is sweet for you however the wine you're to go away on my own because it is not best for you, is the fermented stuff. in case you think of approximately it, could you go away a steak out for a pair of weeks and then chow down on it and say it exchange into so great? I very lots doubt it because it may be rancid. yet then you definitely will take a bottle of juice that has been handed over for weeks and drink that up and say that's good. What, because of the fact it makes you under the impression of alcohol and stupid? So what's genuine wine? in accordance to what you say this is the rotten rubbish that maximum persons drink and then pass out and the two kill themselves or somebody else in the back of the wheel of a motor vehicle. the genuine wine, to me, is the organic grape juice that's unaltered from its organic state that's so best for you, no longer the rotten fermented stuff that alters your recommendations cells and kills them. I consider you on that one, why do maximum American human beings abhor the genuine wine and take interior the fermented stuff that kills greater each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days than HIV and conflict blended?
