10 Tips Every Wine Lover Needs to Know
1. Ditch the Snobbery
Wine isn’t just about swirling, sniffing, and spitting. Focus on what really matters: enjoyment.
2. Story Over Ceremony
People crave the stories behind wine, not just the old-school rituals around tasting.
3. Evolving Language
Every generation talks about wine differently. Adapt and connect with what resonates now.
4. Ambiance Matters
Wine’s environment and presentation create emotional connections—don’t underestimate the atmosphere.
5. It’s Not Just Metrics
Alcohol percentage and grape type are pieces of the puzzle, but not the whole experience.
6. Focus on Feelings
How wine makes you feel—the memories and relationships it sparks—matters most.
7. Celebrate Origins
Share tales of where the wine comes from, its terroir, and its unique journey.
8. Showcase People
Highlight the passion, risk, and devotion of winemakers and proprietors. That’s the real story.
9. Taste the Earth
Encourage tasters to notice the unique connection between wine and the land it comes from.
10. Why, Not What
The most important question: Why is this wine in your glass? The meaning is what makes it memorable.
