Wine, nectar of the Gods, blood of Christ, refined companion of the glass and a friend of love as well, renowned, esteemed, savored or detested, gulped down, used, thrown…
Exalted by poets, storytellers, thinkers, artists of all ages. Homer wrote about it in the Odyssey:
“ wine that makes a fool of the wise and sets a man to singing or laughing stupidly,
drags him to his feet for a dance,
or makes him blurt out words that are better left unspoken”
Nowadays, as much as then, it is a representation of love, but also the subject of study. Wine offers a growing interest in grapes and its cultivation, enology, enography and classification of wines.
There are different ways to classify a wine but the most common parameters are our own thoughts as we taste the wine: its color (white, red, rosé), its sweetness or dryness that makes it dry, medium dry or sweet and its effervescence that makes it still or sparkling.
