An absolutely wonderful conversation, just love your podcast interviews. Both Andrew Jefford & Aigars Nords were perfect regarding this subject. I think this is important to show people that fancy chateaus and high prices are not the key factors to be a fine wine. Keep up your good work! Another question, are you finnished with your studies to become a MW yet?

Fine wine is a community for some. I just traded a Port vintage from 1959 with a wine collector from Denmark that has a Coronation Tawny that will allow me to exchange for a Blandy's from 1932 located in Torino from a British collector. I'm part of over 20 chat groups pertaining to both wines and beverages in general. And at least two of my vacations iare focused around a wine region or wine style. The community can be snobbish art times but that's preferable to the level of ignorance permeating so many discussions.

I agree with you overall. Note, it is unusual that you identify the wine you're getting only as a 1932 Blandy's. Which Madeira grape it is, is crucial, don't you think?

Great discussion! The idea of having being able to appreciate "perfection" or the peak of wine/food should definitely not prevent us from enjoying more casual and less refined versions in their own right. Having experienced the quality beef in the world (i.e. Hanwoo) prepared in the ideal conditions (i.e. grilled over charcoal overlooking the Han River) does not prevent me from enjoying far less marbled, grass-fed local beef from the Mid-Atlantic U.S. that beautifully seared to a beefy and savory medium. If anything, I feel less guilty trying the latter with wine than the former, which would provoke guilt in having it with anything. When a winery makes different tiers in different styles with all of them executed comparable in quality relative to their price brackets, all of them should be able to be enjoyed in their own right, on their own timelines, and savored for respective occasions!

Agnes, I think you miss my point. I only brought up Wagner because he was firmly documented as being a horrible human being yet created masterpieces that are influencing composers today. Of course this was not the main point, yet you brought the point up. Out of all the wines you've tasted and enjoyed immensely, don't you think that there are some people creating these wines that would put you off on a personal level ? The main point of the conversation was quality in fine wines and how we quantify that. Certainly you will not meet every winemaker of wines you consider great, so my point is the quality of the wine , not the personality of the winemaker. Nevertheless , I thoroughly enjoyed the interview as it was very enlightening. Santé

I'm not sure I agree. Many rustic wines, homemade or cheap, are interesting to talk about, have a sense of place and can age well. Are they fine wines? What about expensive whites with a definitive sense of place meant to be drank within 2 years of harvest?

While it may be a personal thing, I don’t think a wine can be considered a fine wine if they affect a person adversely. So many California Cabernets are great examples. One shouldn’t wake up feeling like their head is the size of a basketball and makes a person congested. I never have this problem with “fine” Burgundy. Having said that, many Butgundy wines are, by design, considered “entry level. While you won’t get a basketball head, they are not considered fine. I would say that they are pedestrian.

I like when wines are described as structured and elegant. I usually think of those wines as fine. But at the same time a simple Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley may not be structured or elegant but they are quite fine.

I am not sure I agree. Any red wine will give most people indigestion and headaches if they drink too much too close to going to bed. You can say you shouldn't overindulge, but where do you draw the line? If I feel fine with 3 glasses of a very clean but boring and cheap white wine before bed, does that mean any Burgundy that gives me a headache with 3 glasses is not fine wine?

Most people consider an oil painting to be "fine art" regardless of the actual quality of the work. Similarly, no matter how many Oscars a film receives, most people won't consider it "fine art". This definition has nothing to do with talent or merit or success and only the medium. Should a definition like this apply to wine?

Agnes , you need to separate out personality with what pleasure you receive from an artist/winemaker. Wagner was a complete asshole but a genius as a musician -composer for example. People are complex

never get tired of saying that wine world and what is a “fine wine” was defined by culture who drinks tea with milk to soften tannins. edit: terroir talk is very curious. calling out Tuscany for using French varieties, called our Australians for multi regional blends and yet, not calling out Champaign for literally been the least terroir wine in a wine world (oh wait, you called out Champaign too but blamed California for imitating😂) or not calling out Bordeaux for blending 75 different grape varieties, vineyards, plots, casks. I think there are two elements people usually confuse when it comes to terroir. there are wines that express terroir which usually means, wine that expresses the specific location of vineyard and there are terroir wines, which means wines that are define by location, meaning, they use specific unique varieties, specific technics on every step of wine making, fermentation and aging and make unique style of wine. now, in these two definitions of terroir, Bordeaux and in a lesser extent, Champaign fit in only one and not the other. Bordeaux is a definition of true terroir style, they have created something unique that literally every region of wine world tries to copy but hardly a modern Bordeaux can be an example for wine that expresses a specific vineyard. I think what todays Bordeaux expresses the terroir of is unlimited resources. this is why Super Tuscan wines have a potential to express location of vineyards and vintages but Super Tuscan wines can never been a terroir wines as a style.

@@pierrecorin354 idea is. Bordeaux is true terroir style of wine that world copies. even legendary regions like Rioja. there would be no Rioja if it wasnt Bordeaux. on the other hand, there are wines in Rioja that express place at its fullest and can be called wine that expresses terroir. those are just two concepts miss matched. and not mutually inclusive. we know what Champaign suppose to be but Champeign hardly ever speaks about specific vineyard. in other words, there are levels to Terroir and most wine media and general knowledge of wine is always about surface level.

Certainly, but that is not the point, the question was what is a fine wine and the British gentleman gave a new updated woke definition of it . The other gentleman gave an older definition from a book: a fine wine is what you can purchase at auctions. That is what the people who have the means are looking for, probably because a more refined pleasure can be obtained when sharing these wines with friends I like to believe, rather than just for the mercantile aspect of it...

'Modest background'? Andrew Jefford has a deep knowledge of wine and a world-wide reputation in the field. Have you looked at his extensive published material. I think your use of the term 'woke culture' is a throw-away (popularist) perjorative that has nothing to do with Jefford and this conversation.
