Wine is deeply affected by our cultural norms. ย If you’ve ever had a conversation with me about wine and food or old world wines (Europe, & arguably South Africa) v. new world wines (anything outside of Europe, & arguably South Africa) you know that I have firm opinions on these matters. ย I am a wine autocrat, and therefore am opposed to democratic ideals when it comes to wine. ย Don’t make what the people want, make what’s right! ย This is very French.
On the other hand, wine can be politically incorrect. ย Wine is all about taste, and when it comes to taste, can anyone tell you that you’re wrong? ย This seems to be more American idea, reflecting our democratic society.
What do you think?
