In Vino Veritas \u2014 and Everything Behind It\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The phrase In Vino Veritas is thousands of years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

No one really knows who said it first, but historians believe it was first written down by\u00a0 Pliny the Elder, who lived in the 1st century AD.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In other words \u2014 wine has been, is, and always will be.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

And if it could talk\u2026 oh, the stories we\u2019d hear!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But let\u2019s not get too philosophical.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Let\u2019s talk about how to actually start finding your way in this endless, beautiful, slightly\u00a0 chaotic world of wine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The first and most important rule of success \u2014 you have to be genuinely interested.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not \u2014 that\u2019s perfectly fine! Just admit it honestly (and preferably to us :-)) when\u00a0 you visit Time To Wine Rotermanni.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We\u2019ll happily help you choose a wine you\u2019ll truly enjoy, or answer any question you have\u00a0 about this magical topic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But if the curiosity is there \u2014 and you just don\u2019t know where to start, how not to drown\u00a0 in all the names, grape varieties and mysterious terms \u2014 we have a small road map for\u00a0 you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Step by step. Without lectures. With a glass in hand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Rule nr.1. Start with what you already like.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The best way to understand wine is to go deeper into what you already enjoy.\u00a0 Don\u2019t demand too much of yourself, and don\u2019t compare yourself to \u201cthose who know.\u201d\u00a0 Everyone\u2019s taste evolves \u2014 just at their own pace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Rule nr.2. Don\u2019t be shy about \u201ctasty\u201d wines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Almost every beginner starts with soft, fruity, friendly wines. And that\u2019s absolutely fine!\u00a0 Even those who now talk about the microclimate at the foot of Montrachet once did the\u00a0 same.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Your taste will evolve, and soon you\u2019ll crave more structure, texture and nuance.\u00a0 But for now \u2014 enjoy what makes you happy. That\u2019s what wine is all about.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Rule nr.3. Start simple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

If you\u2019re new to wine, start with the New World \u2014 Chile, Argentina, the US, Australia.\u00a0 Their labels and grape varieties are easier to navigate: fewer rules, more clarity.\u00a0 The Old World \u2014 France, Italy, Spain \u2014 can wait until you feel more confident.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

And don\u2019t worry if Pouilly-Fum\u00e9 and Pouilly-Fuiss\u00e9 sound exactly the same to you.\u00a0 They do for most people. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

So don\u2019t rush to become an expert.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The main thing is to taste, ask questions, and enjoy the ride.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

And if you ever want to go a little deeper \u2014 come visit Time To Wine Rotermanni.\u00a0 There\u2019s always a glass waiting, plenty of interesting wines, and a team ready to explain\u00a0 (with a smile) what really sets those Pouillys apart. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
