All about wine

We drink beer to party and champagne to celebrate, but we drink wine for the wine. It is an art form with its own vocabulary and rules of etiquette, ones every man should know whether he’s entertaining guests in his home or dining at a fine restaurant. Wine’s rich, extensive history goes back as many as 9,000 years in certain regions of China and has played a role in religious ceremonies dating back to ancient Greece and Rome and continuing on through Christian and Jewish traditions. Drinking wine in moderation has been shown to offer some positive health effects, including lowered risk of coronary heart disease (although some dispute this). Granted, wine appreciation is often associated with a level of pretentiousness, but it is a common search term chiefly because so many aspects of it are in fact rather complex and require the guidance and experience of experts.
