Loving wine

I don’t drink much. I have a beer or two when I go out with friends during the weekend and some times I have a glass of wine with dinner, especially during special occasions such as a birthday or holiday dinner. I guess this means that I drink socially.

Since I moved to Australia recently, I have come to familiarize myself with the many excellent wines produced locally. I still only drink occasionally but I have been taking advantage of the many varieties of wine available here to try and extend my knowledge of Dionysus’ favorite drink.

Really appreciating a good glass of wine is an art in itself. Loving wine is not about drinking as much as one can and as quickly as possible. Drinking this fine beverage is also about savoring the moment. The more I learn about how wine is produced and what types of wine are best suited for different meals, I am starting to enjoy having a glass or two with dinner more than ever. In fact, I am considering starting a new wine of the month column for this website.
