Your profile Wine enthusiast
There’s no doubt about it, you’re passionate about wine. Your knowledge on the subject knows no bounds. Listing the Burgundy Grand Crus, or guessing which colour of pepper a cabernet tastes of are mere childs play for you. Your decanter takes pride of place in your kitchen, as do your finest bottles displayed on the mantelpiece. You are so fascinated by wine-making techniques that holidays always include a visit to local vineyards and wine merchants. When on holiday you love to explore everything a region has to offer. You’re a bit of a know-all on visits to vineyards, and enjoy asking the guide some tricky questions. You know France isn’t the only wine country in the world but it does set the standard in wine-making.
