Hello!
I’m SoCooly, a blogger who has fallen deep into the charms of wine.
Does wine still feel difficult and distant to you?
If you’ve been hesitant to approach it due to complex names and regulations, I hope this post serves as a small trigger for you to start your wine life.
Wine is not just “alcohol made from grapes”; it is a special entity that brings diverse joys to our daily lives.
Shall we explore the five fascinating reasons why you should start enjoying wine today?
1. 📜 A Drink Filled with Countless Stories and History
Wine is an alcoholic beverage with thousands of years of history.
With such a long history, every bottle of wine and every winery is packed with intriguing stories.
- The History of Ancient Wineries: As you follow the stories of wineries that have continued since the Roman era, you will feel the intellectual pleasure of discovering forgotten historical facts.
- A Reflection of Era and Culture: A specific vintage (year of production) of wine indirectly reflects the climate, social background, and even political events of that year. Thus, the act of drinking wine becomes a conversation with history.
Lend an ear to the stories of wine that deepen the more you learn!
2. 🗺️ The Joy of Finding Your Own Treasure, Discovering New Wineries
The dynamic wine market sees countless wineries born and disappear every year! The world of wine is constantly changing, offering new experiences.
- The Challenge of New Wineries: Newly emerging wineries around the world either inherit traditions in unique ways or create entirely new styles.
- Finding Your ‘Go-to Wine’: The joy of experiencing diverse wines globally and discovering the one that perfectly suits your taste—your ‘Go-to Wine’—is immense. Start your wine exploration as if drawing your own treasure map!
3. 🍽️ The All-Rounder Beverage that Manages the Entire Scope of a Meal
Wine truly shines when paired with a meal. Its wide variety allows it to encompass every stage of eating.
- From Aperitif to Dessert: From sparkling wines or crisp white wines to whet the appetite (Aperitif), various red wines to accompany the main course (Main Pairing), to sweet wines for a delightful finish (Dessert Wine), wine is responsible for the entire flow of the meal.
- Diverse Utilization: Beyond enjoying it as a drink itself, wine can be manufactured into warm or cold teas and cocktails like Vin Chaud or Sangria, allowing for a variety of tastes.
4. 👃 A Festival of Diverse Flavors Beyond Simple ‘Grape Taste’
“If it’s made from grapes, why do people talk about the smell of flowers, minerals, tobacco, or leather?” This is a question everyone wonders about when drinking wine.
- Complex Aroma and Bouquet: Through the process of fermentation and aging, wine contains not only the inherent scent of the grape (Aroma) but also hundreds of flavors, including secondary and tertiary scents (Bouquet) generated during the aging process.
- The Joy of Expressing Feelings: From the moment you uncork and pour, through the drinking itself, and even the lingering aftertaste, wine offers diverse scents and flavors at every moment. The process of expressing these in words or writing is the special charm of wine, a ‘linguistic play of taste’ rarely found in other beverages.
5. 🧑🤝🧑 A Medium for Conversation, Sharing Empathy with Companions
Wine is enjoyable alone, but its pleasure doubles when shared. Discussing the taste and aroma of wine together is an excellent opportunity to understand one another.
- Exchange of Emotions: You can share preferences by exchanging feelings and opinions, such as, “I like the earthy smell in this wine,” or “I taste more fruit than acidity.”
- Deepening Relationships: For those who are still awkward, it provides a natural topic for conversation, offering a chance to get closer. For those already close, it allows for a deeper understanding of each other’s senses and emotions, strengthening the relationship. Wine is the ‘lubricant that creates good conversation’.
