It’s strange how we are all so different when it comes to choosing our wine. You have the real wine snobs who know exactly what they want to drink and won’t settle for anything less. They don’t mind how expensive the bottle is, and are more than happy to spend over a hundred pounds on [...] Australia has long been considered a big player in the global wine industry and this has to a large extent been down to its ideal grape growing conditions. Other surrounding countries such as New Zealand and Fiji are now getting in on the act however and are growing their stakes in the market by experimenting [...] The type of glass you use to drink wine can make a real difference; large wine glasses can really make a cheap bottle of wine taste like an expensive bottle.
