1:53- West coast of italy- power East coast of Italy - elegance 2:50- Reds- young, aged Whites- sweet or dry 6:18- red wine is usually more expensive than white wine.

[@JulielinhMouret]

Thank you

[@mate7686]

Every time he mentions Georgia I think of my home country Republic of Georgia which is oldest producer of wine by the way. Growing native grapes from Republic of Georgia in the state of Georgia would make a great marketing sales point.

[@JulielinhMouret]

Thank you for that interesting fact!!! I did not know that, and yes, great marketing point!

The best wine I ever had was a fizzy peach mango Moscato from a gas station so wine probably isn't my thing (I like those cheap canned cocktails personally), but my girlfriend has gotten really into wine and I need to know what I'm talking about if I'm going to joke about it. Here's my material so far: cabinent filetmignon and chard-on. Great video.

Simply wonderful video. Extremely informative. When I was an Operating Room Nurse in the 90s, I saved up a bit of money and treated myself to some Bordeaux. I bought bottles of Chateau Latour, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Chateau Phélan-Ségur, and Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou. OMG!! I fell in love with them all but Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou is most definitely the best wine I've ever tasted. From then on I've tried to appreciate and fully comprehend what I'm drinking. By that I mean: Know your wineries, vineyards, and personal tastes. I myself much prefer heavy, dark, dry, powerful, full-bodied reds.

How do I know if a bottle is high in sulfites? I had two glasses of a wine Christmas night and I had a hangover all day Tuesday. Yes it was a $20 bottle of wine... are there types of wines or brands that have higher levels of sulfites?

[@anthony..23]

Gracias

[@joshuajoshua6080]

I’ve also learned that histamines (which any alcoholic/fermented beverage is high in) can cause headaches and other reactions in certain people. I’ve been hearing more and more that it’s the histamines that cause more problems in wine than the sulfites, but don’t quote me on that!!

[@JulielinhMouret]

I have heard the same! It makes sense. Could be a combination of both! Truly appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@joshuawalker8297]

Highlights 🍷 Simone discusses the stylistic and varietal differences between east and west coast wines, describing west coast wines as powerful and east coast wines as elegant. 🍇 Simone explains the unique challenges faced by winemakers in the eastern US and how they choose specific grape varieties to produce high-quality wines. 🍾 Simone covers the various types of wines and production techniques, emphasizing the importance of the winery and territory in creating unique and special wines. 💥 Simone attributes wine headaches and hangovers to sulfites and believes that producing wine with limited or no sulfites can lead to healthier wine without any negative side effects. 💰 Simone explains that the price of a bottle of wine is determined by fermentation, grape quality, and marketing. Summary In this KZbin video, wine expert Simone provides a crash course on wine, covering topics such as the difference between east and west coast wines, the unique challenges faced by winemakers in the eastern US, and the various types of wines and their production techniques. Simone also discusses the main factor behind wine hangovers and headaches, as well as what determines the price of a bottle of wine.

Taste is subjective. What someone else likes may not be what you like. Only way to determine what you like is to drink different wines.

[@JulielinhMouret]

Very true! I agree… drink more wine! lol

I don’t drink alcohol, so I’m not the sort of person who would have an opinion on the various kinds of wines. But I do know that there are about eight basic flavors which are blended to achieve a certain wine. And also, kids like to drink Kool Aid. There are also around eight basic flavors. So it should be possible to make a plastic straw which has eight smaller straws running in parallel. Each smaller straw would have a plastic valve which allows the flow of water to be controlled. The inside of each separate smaller straw would be coated with a certain flavor. So if you gave this straw to a kid, he would start by taking a drink of water. Then he could open the eight small valves in various combinations in order to achieve a particular flavor. The straw would be designed for one-time use only. But it would allow children to experiment with combinations of vanilla, cinnamon, lemon, grape, etc. I think it would cost less than a dollar. For people who like wine, they could buy a cheap bottle of red or white, and then try different modifications to find out which other wines they might enjoy. I think it would be fun. And another excuse to get drunk!

[@JulielinhMouret]

Wow! That’s well thought out and genius!!
