Wine & Spirits Magazine

Choosing what wine to drink is half the pleasure. If wine were a simple agricultural product—say, a tomato—the selection process would be a pretty straightforward matter: either it’s ripe or it’s not. But when it comes to wine, there is, in fact, no correct choice, no absolute right wine to buy. Instead there’s a discussion, which may just be in your head, or with your soon-to-be dinner companions, or your waiter, or a sales clerk. You might talk about where the wine was grown, from which grapes, and who made it. You’ll consider what will be on the menu.
