It's about Wine

I had a round of wine tasting yesterday. We visited a total of six wineries in a day. Never in my life have I tasted so many types of Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Rieslings..... . So much so that my tongue lost it’s sense of taste for a while. Nevertheless, it was a fun and good experience.


The wine is an interesting drink. Food is best consumed fresh but not wine. Good wines are not made of fresh grapes, it’s the aged grapes that produces good wines. The longer the wine is kept, the more character it has. New wines does not have much character, it is just another drink with not much story to tell.


Wine should not be consumed hastily, gulping down a glass of wine is doing no justice to the drink. Every sip of the drink provides a different feel and a different taste. After all the efforts put into the process of wine making, this special drink deserves to be only drunk by those who have the intention of appreciating it and not for gluttons who have lost their sense of taste through over indulgence. If you drink it when you are already drunk, you are not doing justice to the drink at all.
