Coffee, wine, cheese, beer and tea

There's a radio program I listen on my way to work called "Wine Time", in which a really smart guy tells us everything about wine - how to drink it, what goes (and what doesn't go) with each kind of wine, the best wine for each occasion, and so on.

Although I now know a bit more about wine, I still can't understand this whole "wine culture". I really don't see wine as anything other than fermented grape juice. "Maybe", I thought, "it's because I don't like wine".

However, last year I noticed that not only there's a wine culture, perpetuated by an army of oenologists, sommeliers and enthusiasts, there's also a coffee culture, a beer culture, a cheese culture and, more surprisingly, even a tea culture. And I humbly have to admit that I understand none of this, even though I like cheese and coffee.

My boss, for instance, loves tea, and seems to know everything there is to be known about tea. So far I've had green tea, yellow tea, white tea, black tea, Oolong tea, and she often tells us about how they're best served... but, they all taste like hot water to me

But, this is something I'd like to understand. Who here "gets it"? How did you get acquainted to these differences, and do they really matter to you? Do you really care? Can anyone here tell the difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon?

CORe version: Lira doesn't know the difference between pepsi and coke

Well I mean chardonnay's a white and cabernet sauvignon's a red, but thats a pretty basic distinction

I'm quite well versed in the likes of coffee, pretty good with beer and teas, and learning with wine. I've always preferred good drink to good food. At the same time though I almost wish I didn't know the difference between good coffee and bad coffee, I can't go to dunkin donuts or any fast food places for coffee anymore, taste like fucking ass. But yeah, coffee can be as complex as any of the other drinks mentioned, and you've never had good coffee until you've had it paired perfectly with a good food.

Edit: also if you get to know them the differences between types are pretty damn big. I'd wager that you could tell the difference between a merlot and a zin if you had them back to back.

AAaand also, there are very few things in the world better than amazing green tea. Had a tasting once at a small green tea plantation in China, it burned the shit out of my tongue it was so hot but oh my god that might've been the closes I've come to orgasm while I had pants on, srsly

Thats quite all right, that's how its supposed to be anyway. natural order of things and all that.


And to stay on topic, its not that im that knowledgeable about wine but i can tell the difference between the good stuff and the yuck stuff, same about beer, coffee & cheese. just never got much into tea.


BTW Lira you should check out a show called Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure. Basically a guy that knows a lot about wine and a guy that knows that he likes to drink it and it gets him drunk...but that's about it go around France (and in second season USA) and try out different wines. Its quite interesting informative and silly.
