Wine for the Everyman

Preface

Fledgling wine drinkers have bent their knee in the streets to thank me for writing this book.
Even the famous sommelier, Roberto Ferghus Duncan, has been known to mention now and then how my humble book brought him to tears.
So read on, and prepare to be astounded!

1. Red Wine

When one thinks of red wine, one usually associates it with the color red.
But WHY is it red? Allow me to enlighten you. It is because the grape's skin is red.
Red wine is often described as "dry" due to an ingredient called tannins, found in the grape's skin.
This "dryness" refers to a slightly bitter taste on the tongue, similar to what happens to me on the rare occasion I'm near a man more good-looking than I.
When a new wine drinker takes their first sip of red wine and calls it bitter, sour, or tasteless, it is because of the tannins.

2. White Wine

Prepare for your world to shatter with the revelation of this next fact: white wine is not white. It possesses a de-LIGHT-ful light yellow hue and is made with green or peeled grapes.
Green grapes are graced with slightly harder skin than red grapes and have less fiber. This makes white wine taste more refreshing. White wine is ideal for summer.
In the wine world, we describe the refreshing flavor of white wine as "crispy," much like the perfect styling of my gel-slathered locks.
Now, many white wines are crispy, but some are "creamy." The two textures are opposites, so a crispy white wine will be less creamy, and vice versa.

3. Rosé wine

Due to its slightly pinkish hue, rosé wine is also called blush wine. The color is comparable to the lovely blush that graces my own cheeks on occasion.
However, rosé wine can range from light orange to slightly violet. Alas, my own cheeks cannot match, though I'll confess they come close.
There is sweet rosé wine and dry rosé wine. New wine drinkers often enjoy both.

4. Sparkling Wine

I must enlighten you: What you've been calling "champagne" all these years is actually "sparkling wine."
The only true champagne is produced in the Champagne province of France via a special methodology. Everything else is simply called "sparkling wine."
In sparking wine, the bubbles are manufactured by adding carbonic acid. In true champagne, carbonation is added through a traditional fermentation process called Champenoise. And there, now your knowledge of sparkling wine sparkles as well.
