My personal experience with wine thus far in my life

           I do not have that much experience with wine, the only wine I have ever had were from grocery stores and gas stations. All of which were under $15, so it wasn't exactly quality stuff. I do enjoy wine a lot from the times that I have tried it. Ocassionally my family will drink wine while eating dinner. I like white wine because I think it tastes sweeter and smoother, especially when it is cold. I strongly dislike wine that is not cold enough or warm. I have had a lot of cheap wine that simply was hard to drink, it is very bitter and has a strong bite to it.

           I did not like the taste of wine when I first tried it, I did not understand why people enjoyed drinking it. However, after a few more tries, I learned to enjoy the taste of wine. I first drank wine because it was supposedly healthy for your body, also it tastes better than beer. Liquor was too strong for my taste, so I got wine to sip on at social events and parties. I ended up loving the taste of wine and the different taste of each wine. I have only tried 10 different wines so far, there are a lot of wine that I am very excited on trying. I am specially excited to attend wine tastings where I can drink lots of different wine at the same time.
   
         During this course, I am excited to find out the proper steps to smelling, swirling and tasting the wine. I do not understand the process that takes place in order to produce the wine, so that would be an exciting learning opportunity as well. I think that wine is very interesting because different parts of the world will produce different tasting wine, and in order to gain a better understanding on wine, it is important to try as many types of wine as you can. I am certantly ready to do so.
