Wine and culture

by rowtheboat ^Pro @ Wednesday, 26. Mar, 2008 – 10:28:36 pm

So last year I went to an introductory level wine course in an area of Mancsville best known for its association with footballers.

And this week I went to an intermediate level wine course in an area of Mancsville better known for its association with footballers' wives.

I think the difference between the two experiences can be best summed up in the following two extracts of conversation.

1. "So... you don't actually pronounce the 't' in Cabernet?"

2. "So... this wine shop sells Penfold Grange from £100 a bottle? That's not bad, not bad at all."

I shall leave you to figure out which comment belonged to which wine course.

    Is that course designed for the footballers mistresses?

Hmm....

Have to be careful with those wine courses...

We've got a shop near us where you can taste wines in teeny tiny glasses.

I'm not certain that it's a good thing to know what £200 a bottle wine tastes like :/

  It's not the £200 bottles that would worry me as I know I would never buy one - it's the £40 ones...
