As a wine newbie, why is there such a price difference between good wines and bad wines?

There are so many reasons for a wine being of high quality, or meduim quality or low quality, refuse wine) or as some may put it Plonk! The wine world is a very large network, and many different opinions are out there! Just to give you a quick insight, It depends a lot on the production of the wine, it could be a small private vineyard, but they may plant a particular grape varitey, and perhaps they only use oak barrels to store the wine before bottleing.

When people refer to the vintage, this is in reference to the year the wine was made, and some years can be a lot better than others. If the weather turns bad before they pick the grapes, this can affect the strengh of the grape, which affects the fermentation process, so they have to add extra sugar when fermenting. Most of the cheaper wines are mass produced this way, so the process is speeded up, and the quality is very low.(headache material!) Wine making is a very interesting subject, and quite involved, but as I am not an expert, I think it's better to find a good website on the subject.

As I live in an area in Europe where the climate is ideal for vines, we have made wine just for ourselves, but in a very old world method. This wine is just for our consumption! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but am not so computer savy, so just tried to give a plain old fashioned answer!

Please develop your love of wine, and as you are introduced to different wines, you will soon learn to appreciate the difference in the qualities.

Many different reasons but the best reason for me is cheap wine (bought in a store) gives me a wine headache. Since I have been selling and drinking the more exspensive wines (NOT sold in stores) I haven't had any headaches.

The only difference between a good wine and a bad wine is whether you enjoy it or not! It is subjective and all about the way it tastes to you. There is a lot of snobbery about wine.At this stage I seriously wouldn't even bother to look at websites, they can't tell you what the wine will taste like or which kinds you will like.

Instead I would suggest you head off to your nearest store and look at the labels of the wine on promotion. I guess by now you will know whether you prefer red or white, dry or sweet. Don't hesitate to ask the advice of the staff, who are usually helpful when you are making your choice.

Don't pay too much for wine, just pick a couple of bottles that appeal to you and try them at your leisure. Assuming you find one that you like, make note of the type of grape the wine is made from. You can now begin to make a more educated choice when buying wine, because you know that you like that variety.

At this stage you could try looking at websites, Google the names of the grapes that are used for the wine you enjoy and you will find out where it is produced and different brands. Before long you will be able to pick a decent wine out easily, for instance, you might find you prefer say, South African cabernet sauvignon over Australian, that sort of thing. Don't buy the rock bottom priced plonk, it is usually nasty, but there is no need to pay lots of money to enjoy a bottle of wine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
