Some bottles are corked, some are screw-topped, and some cost more than your weekly groceries. But here’s the truth: wine tasting isn’t about being fancy or knowing everything. It’s about discovering what makes you smile when you take that first sip. If you’re new to wine, welcome. You’re in for a delicious ride. 🥂 Why Wine Tasting Is a Must for Every Newbie Wine tasting isn’t just a hobby—it’s a journey. A sensory adventure.
