When you have True Fine Wines you get to gain the Advantages of what Wine was Created For. Better Health, and Better Quality of Life. A logical question is “What are Fine Wines?” The answer to this question varies among the leading wine-producing countries and regions of the world (France, Italy, Spain, the United States, and several others). However, there is a consensus on the basic qualities and attributes to look for.
An article published in the PC Perfect Cellar Blog titled, “The Difference Between Fine Wine and Regular Wine” states:
“Quality
The biggest difference between fine wine and regular wine is quality. A high-quality wine consists of a variety of flavours that differ in complexity, individuality and intensity. Besides a versatile background deriving from its terroir and expert storing conditions.
Generally, fine wines can mature over time and become more depth in terms of flavour. Therefore, its ageing potential is another major factor when it comes to determining how fine a bottle of wine is.
Rarity
The finest wine is unique and difficult to get hold of. With countless brands and bottles being stored in your local supermarket, it is the wine that there is fewer of which makes it a rarer choice. The more bottles there are available of specific wine there is, the lower its price will be and vice versa.”
Age and Terroir
It is no secret that the older a wine is the more expensive it tends to be. This is especially the case with red wine that becomes tastier over time.
However, another essential element to consider is the vintage year. This has a huge bearing on the price of a fine wine due to a variety of factors such as what country the wine is from, what the weather was like and the soil quality before creating the beverage.
Terroir is a term used to describe the climate, tradition, terrain and soil that the fine derives from. Hence, the wine’s quality is also dependent on the grapes that are formed during the warmer months of the year.“
The article continues with the following Difference Between Fine Wine and Regular Wine:
“Storage
Finally, how a fine wine was stored before and after bottling is a further determinant of price. This includes factors such as barrel type, humidity, cellar type and temperature.
Out of all these factors, the barrels are most crucial. It is not a coincidence that barrels are expensive and made from strong and beneficial materials like oak. Oak has been found to add a variety of flavours to the wine.”
First of all, let me be clear about the fact that I am not yet a wine connoisseur, nor a master of fine wine pairings with food. Based on my research of authoritative sources and the opinions of my Community Members who are more knowledgeable about fine wines than I am, I feel confident in the following statements:
- The $9.99 wine specials at the grocery store, liquor store, or whatever store are probably not fine wines.
- If the wine you purchased gives you a headache after two small wine glasses, it is probably not a fine.
- If you open a purported 10-year-old vintage wine that has turned to vinegar, it is probably not a fine wine.

My Personal Experience With Fine Wines Delivered to My Door
Time and Place of the Fine Wine Tasting:
My experience dates back to my time as a graduate student and assistant director for one of several dormitory quadrangles on campus. Part of my duties included the planning, development, and scheduling of student events and programs. My suggestion was to schedule a wine tasting conducted by a regional wine producer. The suggestion drew wide interest and was pursued. So successful that we had to limit our capacity from hundreds of students to fifty.
Results of the Fine Wine Tasting:
Much to my surprise, the wine producer sent their head sommelier to the event with an assortment of six fine wines for the tasting in addition to an assortment of breads and pastries. Needless to say, the wine tasting was a huge success. Several students, including myself, developed an interest in fine wines. However, at $75.00 to $250.00 a bottle, we were all priced out of the market. That was some “barrier to entry” experience. However, with our Wine-Of The-Month Club, I am working on pursuing the opportunity of acquiring fine wines to be delivered to my door. I will surely report my future experience with fine wines and food pairings in future posts.
