      Wine Uncorked - Jeremy West

      Introduction

      Wines have existed for most of human history, and the purposes for wine making go far beyond the alcoholic buzz one can get from the heady grape vintage. For nearly ten thousand years, humanity has had a passion for and a need to grow, bottle, ferment and drink wine. From before the rise of the Roman Empire, we have seen the value of creating a drink that can be preserved over time that actually improves its taste as it ages, and that is safer in many cases than the local water supply.

      Wines have been used in religious rituals for as long as it has been fermented, and the mind-altering effects have been either reveled in or abhorred, depending on the religious attitudes at the time. What you need to know, however, has more to do with the nuances of a variety of characteristics, and how these characteristics determine a wine’s value to the aficionado. Of course, there is a broad spectrum of determinations as to what makes a ‘good wine’ or a ‘worse wine’ – but remember, the real key is your own personal satisfaction. The ability to define these characteristics in terms of your preference, therefore, is more about a shared vocabulary and understanding, than about being a ‘wine snob’ or ‘know-it—all’.
