So, what really is all the fuss about? A rose by any other name is still a rose right? And if you’ve tasted one red wine, you’ve pretty much tasted them all right? No such thing I’m afraid. There’s more to wines than just the color of it, and I can definitely tell you that just because you’ve tasted one wine, you definitely haven’t tasted all there is. The whole rose is a rose is a rose thing just doesn’t work for wines, much less for roses these days. With so many different varieties of reds and white wines to choose from you’ll be hard pressed to find a wine that tastes the same as another wine. But that still hasn’t answered the burning question of what all the fuss is about. And I have to say that I can’t really answer that. You’ll need to answer that for yourself, but if you’re reading this article then that means you might have at least a passing interest in wines and everything about it. Now, although I did say that you would have to find out what the fuss about wine was by yourself, I can tell you that part of the fuss at least about wine is merely for what it is, an alcoholic drink. But that’s only part of it and not the whole. To fill in the gaps you would have to climb into the mind of a connoisseur to try and fully understand what makes drinking wines such an enthralling experience. Having said that, at the very basic level, besides being fascinating to the human mind because of its alcoholic nature, wine is also very much talked about for a number of reasons, the largest part being the nature of it. Think about it, you have your red wines and your white wines, rosé wines, and sparkly wines. And in the midst of this all, you then get the subdivisions of light wines, heavy wines and sweet wines. Now throw into the mixture a healthy dose of different grapes, different growing regions and different harvesting qualities of the grapes, and there you have it in a nutshell. The fascination of wine to humans. As you can see there’s more to wines than meets the eye, and a wine connoisseur likes to look beyond what’s in front of their face to the substance of the real wine. It was never in man’s nature to overlook the curious and unattainable, and in some ways, the art of all things wine came about as a result of this desire for satisfaction. Having tasted first one wine and then another and another, there’s no doubt that the very first wine enthusiast noticed something different about each of them. That naturally would have started out as a desire to satisfy the curiosity that lies at the root of every person, which in turn would have led to the first record of wines being kept. Unfortunately we have no idea who that man was or where he kept his records if at all. What we do know is that wine culture hasn’t looked back since, and it doesn’t look like there’s any stopping this particular train any time soon. So, hopefully, that partially satisfied your desire to know what all the fuss about wines is, but if it didn’t then let me try even more of a nutshell. It’s the desire in oneself to experience every nuance that you can get through a single wine, and to do it to a degree that you can get down to perfection.
