Fine Wine
Fine wine is better than cheap wine and in a curiously symmetrical twist of fate, cheap wine is not as good as fine wine. Naturally, fine wine is more expensive but at least fine wine does not taste like vinegar. People who like fine wine can often be snooty and show off at parties about how much they know about fine wine. Although I too love fine wine, I do not advocate dine wine snobbery and here at 21 Wines, fine wine snobbery is frowned upon.
Fine wine is always nice for a special occasion or posh dinner party. To avoid embarrassment, always ensure that the fine wine you are offering your guests compliments the food you are serving. If you have to, consult a fine wine expert at the fine wine outlet where you buy the said fine wine. No knowing much about fine wine is nothing to be ashamed about. Actually, it is, but do not let your shamefully inadequate fine wine knowledge stop you consulting a fine wine expert to learn more about fine wine.
When one of your fine wine snob guests gets all snooty, play a fine wine trick. Serve them cheap wine but leave a fine wine bottle on the table. When they proceed to rave on about the fine wine bouquet, the fine wine taste and the way the fine wine has that special oak finish, that is the time to expose them as a fine wine charlatan. This fine wine trick serves two purposes: it exposes the fine wine fool and saves you on the fine wine. If you are the host, make sure your guests know that you are serving fine wine but never mention the price of the fine wine as that is just crass and behavior which is frowned upon in fine wine circles.
In closing, I can but encourage people to enjoy shopping for fine wine. The joys of fine wine can be enjoyed by anyone who takes the time to learn about fine wine. Actually, if you drink cheap beer and call wine a girlie drink, do not bother with fine wine.
