Happy to come across your comment. Discovered the great wines of Hungary last year on holiday in Hungary. Started to wonder why we don't find it (or only 1-2 bottles) in stores here in the Netherlands. May really be worth letting Western Europe discover Hungarian wine. Plus, it seems Tokaj is on the way to restoring its former glory. Quite smart of the Rothschilds and the AXA insurance company, among others, heavily investing in Tokaj land and winemaking after the communist era (which drastically deteriorated wine quality), it seems like a foolproof investment.

Previously, I used Delectable to search for wine. My impression is that it was used by a more educated audience than Vivino. Especially in Russia, where at that time (about 8 years ago) people gave undeservedly good marks to bad wines in Vivino, which spoiled the experience. But now Delectable has turned into abandonware, and Vivino, on the contrary, has improved considerably. However, I still miss Delectable.

The difference between white and red wine scores is interesting and it is completely in sync with my personal experience - whenever I visit a place where I suspect they serve bad wine, I always choose red wine because I find bad red wines more bearable than bad white wines. Is there any expert explanation of this phenomenon?
@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine3 жыл бұрын
There are many explanations. Reds usually come last in a tasting or a menu and are therefore considered the highlight. They are often more expensive to make and in certain markets like China they are considered to be more valuable because of their colour. There was a time when white sweet wines were more expensive.

By contrast in an email I got today from Vivino were well known Bordeaux that were lower rated and stupid expensive. I had all but two of these wines in my cellar from top rated years 89 and 90 I sold off through Sotheby’s. I much prefer California wines. Superb wines Vivino sells at killer prices and free shipping in the US for orders of 150 dollars or more. For 6 dollars a case they'll pack it with ice which is good in the summer.

I use Vivino to help me not buy again a wine I gave a low score in the past, could not care less for the overall score. I have scored a few 1 or 1,5 stars, most are between 2,5 and 3,5 stars, and rarely score a 4,5 or 5.

Can't say this was my favorite episode. I cringed as you had to taste those wines. I once sold the Caliterra wines. I believe It started out as a Mondavi-Chadwick project, then acquired by Jackson Family Estates perhaps for distribution in the US. It's Colchagua Valley and part of it is aged in 2nd and 3rd passage oak for 7-9 months. The Cenit and Tribute part of the line are much better. I had retsina once and that was once too many. I hear most of it is sold to the CIA for their black site interrogations...very effective! How about one on classic terroir reflective examples from the major French, Italian, Spanish etc top appellations. Good video but my condolences to your palate!

I feel like I would enjoy good retsina since I like resiny flavours like myrrh, but it seems good ones are extremely hard to come by....

If you ever want to taste a really nice Chilean Malbec, the Altamana Grande Reserve Malbec is delicious, and great value as well. More of an old world style, akin to Cahors.

An average person rates a wine more based on the price than the actual flavor, and I think this video supports that theory.
