How to Drink Better: The best way to learn about wine is also the most fun way - drink it

You can certainly teach yourself about wine. In fact, I would suggest that you hold your own personal lessons at home, even if you are going to classes. By lessons, I mean drinking wine. First arm yourself with a good book. There are plenty of wine guides out there. Andrew Jeffords’s Wine Course is very good, but my favourite, and the most straightforward, is The 24-Hour Wine Expert, by Jancis Robinson. A book will give you some structure and answer a lot of the questions you may have.

To taste, buy a bottle each of the three red and white wines below. If you have a friend or two also interested in learning, you can share the cost, but they needn’t be expensive wines; €10-€15 a bottle should get you a good example of each. You don’t have to taste them at the same time, although it certainly helps. I frequently taste my wine before dinner , make my notes, and then enjoy it with my partner during the meal.
