I work in a new and developing wine consuming country. This is both exciting and frustrating. Exciting because I can see the development right before my eyes.\u00a0 Frustrating because all of a sudden everyone is a wine expert, stressing strong opinions as facts.<\/p>\n
To be in a country where wine consumption is growing rather than shrinking (like in other EU countries) is an exciting thing. I don\u2019t need to remind you of the common business sense that says that if you\u2019re at the beginning of a growth curve, for sale<\/a> and you play your cards right, doctor<\/a> you will grow with that curve.\u00a0 It\u2019s exciting to see the choices available to us expand and improve as consumers (and importers) focus their palates. I live in an exciting place and for the most part, I am enjoying the ride.<\/p>\n On the other side of the excitement is the frustration that inevitably comes with living and working in a growing and evolving wine market. The biggest of which is the fact that there are suddenly so many \u201cknowledgeable\u201d wine \u201cexperts\u201d.\u00a0 Persons who express nothing more than their opinions, emanating from their fucking mouths as facts. The most annoying \u201cfact\u201d \u00a0I hear repeatedly is that the problem with natural wines is that they are \u201cfaulty\u201d.\u00a0 This is not a very well researched opinion and is often stated as a fact and as an absolute. These people are saying that \u201call\u201d natural wines are \u201calways\u201d faulty.\u00a0 I find this to be not only frustrating, but also upsetting because it does not take a genius or even a Master of Wine to see that it is an impossible statement. It is not possible that \u201call\u201d natural wines are \u201calways\u201d faulty.<\/p>\n It is true that many (not all) of the first examples of natural wine imported into this country years ago were indeed \u201cfaulty\u201d. They were terribly reductive examples of natural wines that not even I would want to sniff, let alone swallow. And some were overly-oxidized (not on purpose) and ruined beyond repair. But these faults are not limited to natural wines. All wines can suffer from these faults.<\/p>\n
