Blog 82 What makes one wine better than another?
When looking at what makes one wine better than another, you need to look in all directions. You need to look at the quality of the grapes, the terroir and region the grapes are grown in, the winemaker’s background and the consistency at which a great wine is made.
You can also look at the type of wine you are making, what additives you are using, if any, the way the grapes are grown including pesticides, watering, or are you a green certified winery? Are you pruning the vines? How are you storing your wine and for how long? When do you release the wine? Are you using new oak, old oak, a combination or no oak?
The passion that is put into making wine is the most important component that makes one wine better than another. You have to care more about the wine’s quality than the quantity. You have to care more about the taste than the value.
You should not have to make fancy labels in order to sell your wine, but your label can’t be cheap either. You should talk about the wine that is in the bottle on the label as well as the terroir, and list the percentage of each grape varietal on the label if your wine is from California. You should let the wine buyer know what they are buying by looking at the label.
What influences me into liking one wine over the other is the temperature of the wine, where I am drinking the wine, and who I am drinking the wine with.
And, the wine just has to taste great!
Tell me what you think! I want to hear from you! Give me your thoughts!
Bon Vin!
