How to Pick Your Wine
U tried to educate me about wine. Red wine to be precise. Let's just say I only know if it was a good summer, chances are we have good wine from that year, and that EU wine can be added with sugar to increase its alcohol level.
One day my friends and I hung out and wanted to have some wine. Olivier, whose father loves wine, told us his method of selecting wine: pick a bottle with the highest punt. He theorized that the higher the punt, the better the taste. Of course he failed to prove it. But we had a great time any way.
I've noticed that a lot of Indonesians I know prefer sweet wine. Perhaps they should just stick to Port or try Pineau des charentes.

Probably I could do with some education in oenology. Probably I am a real barbarian in the eyes of connoisseurs. Though I'm a regular and happy user I do enjoy wine with next to no knowledge out it. Well, I like my wine dry. White wine if it's hot or with fish or seafood - red for the rest of the time.
You know, white wine made me tipsy quicker than red. Dont know why, it supposed to be the other way around. funnily enough, I handle distilled better.
@ triesti: If we ( as I hope) will ever meet I have to make sure red Bordeaux and V.S.O.P.cognac will be within reach.
Yay! even without them, I look forward to meeting you. I'll supply chocolate :)
