Can you describe a wine without mentioning fruit? Skip cherry, blackberry and citrus. Think instead about: • Acidity • Tannin • Body Structure tells you how a wine actually feels and behaves on the palate. Describe your last wine without using a fruit word. What would you say?

Cabernet glass. Pinot glass. Riesling glass. Chardonnay glass… Do we really need all of them? Probably not. A simpler approach is to choose by wine style: aromatic intensity, body and structure. One great universal glass or a full collection — which camp are you in? #WineEducation #WineTasting

Same wine. Different glass. Different experience? Glass shape can influence aroma, palate delivery and how we perceive fruit, acidity and body. But you probably don’t need 12 different glasses. Which do you reach for most: universal, Bordeaux, Burgundy—or something else? #WineTasting #WineEducation

When you hear Barossa Valley, do you immediately think Shiraz? There’s much more to the region: Grenache, Mataro, Riesling, Semillon, Chardonnay—and diverse sites that shape them all. What Barossa bottle would you open tonight? 🍷 #BarossaValley #AustralianWine

Grenache and Garnacha are the same grape—but place can change the personality completely. Southern Rhône, Spain and Australia all show different expressions of the variety. Do you prefer Grenache solo or in a blend? #Grenache #Garnacha #Wine

Fruit gets the attention. Acidity keeps the wine alive. It brings freshness, balances richness, helps with food pairing, and supports ageing. The goal isn’t more fruit or more acid. It’s balance. What do you notice first: fruit or acidity? #WineEducation #WineTasting

Saying “I like Port” is a bit like saying “I like red wine.” Ruby, Tawny, LBV and Vintage can offer very different experiences—and suit very different occasions. Port is a category, not a single style. If you could only keep one: Ruby, Tawny, LBV or Vintage?

What if the biggest problem with boxed wine… is the box? The format offers real advantages in freshness, convenience and sustainability—but it still carries a quality stigma. Is that stigma still justified? Would you choose a premium wine in a box over a bottle?

Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t speak with one voice. Bordeaux, Napa, Coonawarra and Chile can produce strikingly different expressions of the same grape. Could you identify the region without seeing the label? Which style is your favourite—and why?

Sommeliers don’t necessarily have better palates. They have better systems. Professional tasting is about observation, structure, aroma families and conclusions—not simply guessing what’s in the glass. Would you enjoy blind tasting? 🍷

The bottle hasn’t changed. But the environment has. Temperature, aromas, food, sunlight and even the pace of drinking can change how we perceive a wine. Ever loved a wine on holiday, then found it strangely less impressive at home? 🍷

What makes a wine work in summer? Not colour—structure. Bright acidity, moderate alcohol, lighter body, softer tannins and fresh aromatics all help. Serving temperature matters too. Sometimes a chilled red feels more “summery” than a rich white. What wine breaks the stereotype?

Why do some wines taste softer and creamier? 🍷 Malolactic fermentation converts tart malic acid into softer lactic acid, reducing acidity and helping create a rounder mouthfeel. It’s one of the key processes that can shape a wine’s character. Have you noticed it in a wine?
