Say, in Great Britain, this traditional rye whisky and beer producer and consumer, people also drink wine, but German wines are in the greatest demand. Personally, I call them operetta wines, because most are unpardonably oversweetened. Regrettably, semidry wines have been popular in Russia and Ukraine for the past two hundred years. But then Ukraine, compared to England, is in an advantageous position. The first two are present in southwestern Ukraine, so the problem is to have dedicated people with a delicate nose, demanding palate, and a broad wine outlook.
Winemakers have to be cultivated, just like vineyards.
All it takes is discarding one s own hypocrisy. Wine is not what makes people drunk. People get drunk consuming wine in unreasonable quantities. When used reasonably, wine makes people keenly aware of that special sense of life, enriching their sensual experience. Wine is not vodka which blurs one s senses, triggering off brutal aggressive emotions, causing arguments ending in fistfights or worse.
