Wine

Wine is a delicious alcoholic beverage enjoyed by many, but it’s not just a drink, it’s a lifestyle. It’s the ultimate excuse for a lazy Sunday lunch or a cozy night in. Whether you’re a bold red or a crisp white, there is a wine out there to suit every taste bud - unless you don’t like wine, then you’re out of luck my friend.

Types of Wine

Red Wine

Red wine is commonly known as “adult grape juice” and is the perfect choice for those who want to feel fancy while simultaneously getting drunk. There are various types of red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. If you can pronounce them all correctly, you’re well on your way to becoming a wine connoisseur.

White Wine

White wine is the perfect choice for those who don’t want to stain their teeth with red wine or who don’t want to feel like they’re drinking vinegar. There are several types of white wines, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. If you think they all taste the same, you probably have a unrefined palate or are simply uncultured.

Drinking Wine

Drinking wine is an art form that requires the right mood, the right setting, and the right company. Wine should be sipped slowly, swirled gently, and discussed at great lengths. Preferably, you should be sitting in a comfy chair in a dark room, surrounded by candles and classical music, while wearing a silk robe and smoking a pipe.

The proper etiquette when drinking wine is to smell it, taste it, and then make comments about its notes of berries or hints of oak. Pretend you know what you’re talking about, even if you don’t because wine snobs can smell a newbie from a mile away and are not afraid to call them out.

Wine and Food Pairings

Pairing food with wine is serious business, and getting it wrong can completely ruin the dining experience. The general rule is to pair white wine with fish or chicken and red wine with steak or pasta, but ultimately you should drink whatever you want, your taste buds are your own boss.

Conclusion

In conclusion, wine is not just a drink; it’s a way of life. Whether you’re sipping on a glass at a fancy restaurant or chugging it straight out of the bottle in your pajamas, wine is always there for you. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass, and let the good times roll! (responsibly of course)
