lesson 1
what is wine?
What Makes Wine Wine How Wine Is Made Wine Types
Wine is an amazing journey through time, history, religion, climate,
love, war, and fashion. It lends itself beautifully to any level of involvement,
from sipping a simple glass of rose on the back porch to traveling
to the great wine centers of Europe and coming home laden with
exotic wines. Wine is one of the most rewarding hobbies you can
explore: There's always more to learn, more to experience-more to
taste!
Unfortunately, the subject of wine intimidates many people. Some
folks have grown shy of wine because they believe that there are "right"
and "wrong" ways to enjoy it.
In addition to presenting you with good, basic wine information, our
goal in this book is to encourage you to trust your judgment. If you find
that you like red wine with fish instead of white, or you discover that
you prefer your white wines at room temperature instead of chilled, or
you decide to serve a dessert wine with your meal, we want you to feel
free to do so. Remember, wine is fun!
