A Wine For Each of Us

One thing you’ve probably noticed is that not everyone shares your tastes. I’m sure there are foods you like that I don’t, movies I love that you would never watch, and wines you find delicious that your friend would spit out. The great thing about wine is there are so many different ones. New wines come out each year, and old wines keep changing in the bottle. There’s such variety: I really believe there’s a wine for everybody, maybe more than one :) ! It doesn’t matter what our friends like. It only matters what you like.

But you may be wondering – “Why do I like this wine and my friend doesn’t? I say it’s sweet, she says it’s dry!”  When smelling and tasting a wine everyone perceives it differently. The various components of wine: sugar, acid, tannin, etc., are not sensed until they reach a certain concentration. The level at which each component is sensed is called the threshold of perception.  We perceive wines differently because we all have different thresholds of perception. I may sense sugar at 3 grams per liter and you may not sense it until 6 grams per liter. If a wine has 5 grams per liter of sugar, I may describe it as sweet and you may call it dry.

So, the next time you’re at a party enjoying a glass of wine, and you hear someone say, “This wine sucks,” remember that their thresholds aren’t their fault (but their manners are!), and there’ll be more wine for you!
