Taste is personal, like a smile
Wine isn't a test. You don't need a diploma to appreciate its flavor. Sometimes, a wine from a renowned winery leaves you with nothing. Other times, an unknown bottle found by chance in a small town wine shop gives you a moment you'll never forget.
Taste is like beauty: some people say, "What a fantastic wine!" and you might think, "Well, that doesn't mean anything to me." Just like when you look at a girl or boy with friends and everyone says, "That's beautiful," and one replies, "I don't like it." It's the magic of personal taste.
The soul of wine? People
Often, a wine becomes "good" because it's tied to a moment. A dinner with friends, a cheerful chat, a spontaneous burst of laughter. That glass in your hand becomes part of an emotion, and even if you don't know what's inside—grapes, tannins, terroir—you feel that that bottle has done your heart good .
Drinking wine isn't a competition to see who knows more. It's a friendly excuse to spend time together. It's a tool to create joy, to lower one's defenses, to say, "Hey, today I want to enjoy life."
You don't have to be an expert to love wine
Do you have friends who are winemakers and can sense every flaw? Fine. Let them talk. Listen, maybe you'll learn something. But never feel guilty. If they find a reduction or say it lacks structure, but you like that wine, then that wine is good for you .
You don't need to know everything to be part of the world of wine. In fact, wine needs people like you: genuine, curious, free from preconceptions. People who drink with their hearts, not their noses.
Wine as a universal language
Whether you're 18 or 70, wine can speak to you. It's an ancient language, made of conviviality, culture, and landscape. It's the fruit of the earth and human hands. It's a bridge between generations.
And so, whether you're a young person trying a bottle for the first time, or a grandfather opening his Sunday wine, the message is the same: let's drink it together, without judging each other, without barriers.
Conclusion: Let's toast to simplicity
In a fast-paced, often judgmental world, wine can be a welcome respite. A simple gesture, a way to say, "I'm here, I'm with you, I want to feel good."
So open that bottle, whatever it is. Pour yourself a glass. Look around. If there are friends, if there's happiness, if you can smile even just a little, then yes: you're drinking great wine .
Cheers. To life, to company, and to the little moments that become big.
