It needn t be. If you wish to know about wine, how to drink it and what story of history and culture each bottle bequeaths, it s really not that difficult. It can all be made very easy. It s not impossible I ve done it. I didn t know anything about wine either, but I m learning now.
Wine is a subjective matter.
Everyone has their own tastes, and you will find that you may very well fall in love with a particular wine, which the experts decry. Often, if you read enough literature about wine you will find that each wine writer has individual preferences, which taint his or her opinion. Taste a few wines, see what you like and don t buy the stuff you don t like again. Advertise in your local paper, the window of the local wine shop, on the Internet or at work. Anywhere, in fact, where you feel you are likely to attract the attention of others with a similar interest in learning more about wine.
