I've discovered recently that I'm passionate about wine. It's not that I hadn't tried it before, like "hey, this red stuff tastes great! What is it?". I've liked it for quite a long time, but never before had I taken the trouble to do any research into the matter.
I've joined a website (www.verema.com) that is devoted to the world of wine, where I can get lots of information about wine production, wine tasting, wine types, wine conservation... just anything you can think of that is related to wine. What I like most is the site's forum: I can pose any question I have about wine, and there's always someone who is an expert in the matter and is willing to clear up my doubts.
I've learned some basic things like the type of wine glass I should use, the importance of decanting, the perfect serving temperature, where to buy the bottles... you'll learn something new every day.
On this website, the members recommend the wines they like, and usually they're not too pricey; I've followed their advice and tried some great wines! Before, I used to buy very cheap wines, which I found just "not bad"; by paying an extra euro or two I'm starting to discover the pleasures of wine drinking... in moderation, of course! :)Classic cars are my other passion, but, for the time being, I don't own any. The good thing about wine is that, actually, I can afford it. Cheers!
