In case anyone is as confused as I was, did you mean Windrose? LINK

If so, fricking autocorrect :lol:

I’ve already received multiple texts with red lights surrounding STATEMENTS IN ALL CAPS. I’ve mentally noted who they were so that I can avoid voting for them and then deleted/reported as spam. frick them :lol:

To each their own. Enjoy your life the way you want! Of course… When I read this and think of of my life enjoyment priorities, deciphering tannin levels of wine falls between priorities: 345. Understanding Barnacle taxonomy 347. Betsy Ross sewing hacks Kidding! Tannin away.

If you take a sip of wine and it makes your mouth and tongue “feel dry”, it’s highly tannic. You can get the same sensation from over-steeped teas. Congratulations, you can now “decipher tannin levels of wine (and tea)”. Not only is the shite not complicated, but knowing whether that’s a quality you find unpleasant would be useful information, n’est-ce pas? :lol:

I don’t drink enough wine to be able to do that, but I would assume if it could be done with whiskey it could be done with wine.

It can, and I would argue it’s easier with wine because you have less neutral alcohol burn to get past. For most people, it’s just a vocabulary issue. If you can tell the difference in flavor between an apricot and a lychee, then there is no reason you can’t notice a wine with heavy notes of “stone fruit” versus “tropical fruit”. Doesn’t mean you’ll be able to pick out apricot versus underripe plum, but that’s a level of detail 99% of the population has absolutely no need for. But dryness, tannin level, most prominent fruit classes, etc are all easy things to identify with a bit of practice, and it helps a ton in figuring out which new wines someone will enjoy more than others.

No, I'm not claiming some great skill. It's not that difficult, really. My bil tries this with me every Thanksgiving. He's kind of a nouveau riche snob. I make fun of him routinely.

People like to cherry pick a couple of studies in which the participants were actively lied to about the wines they were tasting. They then pretend as though “experts can’t taste wine” instead the reality that people don’t like to feel stupid, so they fold under social pressure and influence. People who pass the highest level som exams aren’t really good fricking guessers :lol:

Nah, audiophiles are going to tell him that soundbars are shite and not to waste his money :lol:

Some of you have gone off the deep end with this shite, and I say that as someone who thinks Hep B vaccines should only be administered to at risk infants.

I didn't say you should be sad that you don't know; you said you were happy you didn't know. There are tons of benign things I don't know about; I might be apathetic about a host of it, but I'm not "happy" about not knowing any of it.

Pretty happy to not even know what mahjong is

I'll never understand people who revel in their ignorance of utterly benign things. Happy not to know how to shoot up meth? Sure. Happy to not know about a game that's been around for centuries? Come on :lol:

I hate having shite hanging over my head, so I filed back in early February :lol:

Alright, I’ll concede the former and can’t speak to the latter :lol: :cheers:
