New To Wine Drinking
Situation 1
 You have wanted this person for ages and finally you get
a date! You are both wearing your best designer gear; it
is a gorgeous restaurant and the menu is absolutely mouth
watering and best of all you are being treated because
it is your birthday. All is going well until your companion
leans over and murmurs in your ear the magic words 'I will
let you choose the wine'
Situation 2
You could be entertaining a business client who leaves
the choice of wine bottle in your supposedly capable hands.
Result
Romance or business, the outcome is the same. You go through
the motions of being knowledgeable and finally choose one
you know how to pronounce. Or, even worse, a variety your
Dad drinks, little do you know he gets it
from the supermarket for 40p a litre in a plastic bottle and decants it before you
arrive. And the result is a tear inducing bitter concoction
that you wouldn't give to your cat to use as a mouthwash.
Either that or a bland tasteless number that might just as
well be coloured water. You also get a very disappointed
date or client, not to mention a tarnished image as a
professional sophisticated person of the world.
