I’m pretty sure any wine would taste amazing in Ronda! Such a beautiful place

That is so true.

Totally agree!! Love all of his episodes

Like single handedly!! Actually so helpful!!

I see Andre and i click...And I don't even drink wine

me too

Right, but he has no idea about grapes.

@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 How did you manage to come to this conclusion? He certainly knows a lot about grapes since wine is fermented grape juice.

@@ggabor1683 He has never been in a vineyard. He may know how to taste wine but he certainly doesn't know a whole lot about growing or processing grapes.

@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 As a somm myself I can assure you that he has visited vineyards and studied viticulture as well as vinification. He doesn't just taste wine but has a great understanding of how wine is made (including the vineyard itself). What you describe is a misconception about somms.

@@ggabor1683 As a winemaker myself I can assure you that a 2-week tasting course to become a sOmM isn't nearly enough to teach you anything about cultivating grapes or winemaking at all. Neither of you have ever done either and you certainly have not studied any of these fields.

Same! I’ll have a beer once in a while but I never drink wine, this guy makes wine sound delightful though 😂

I agree with you - not so much about wine because I love a good glass of wine - but I follow a tech guy and I often have no clue what he's referring to but he's so interesting I just listen and occasionally I even understand him. Andre is a great presenter and fun to watch!

Same, I kinda hate wine but I like his videos.

It’s called getting Pitch Meeting’d!

Thought it would have happened a while ago by now....Has he been featured on other's videos yet??

Andre needs his own wine selling website where he describes wines with emojis

Same! I only drink once or twice a year and have never even had wine. But I love Andre's videos, he's such a wonderful teacher and not at all snobbish about wine.

I don't really like wine right, but a while ago I had a bottle of Gewürztraminer with no added sulfites and it tasted like friggin mango juice, not like wine at all. Is that a thing? I could have that any day of the week, it tasted so much better than any other wine I had so far. I bought a few other bottles of Gewürztraminer and they tasted bad, which must mean that I just really don't like the sulfur? Right?

So, this can get complicated, let's simplify it. Every wine has a typicité (fancy French term for) typicalness. The same grape in 5 distinct growing regions will taste different, but there will be similarities. Gewürztraminer will usually taste of things like: lychee, grapefruit, a little spicy (think ginger) and some floral (could be roses, in my own region of PA it is usually honeysuckle). This list isn't exhaustive and it also isn't gospel. You had a wine that tastes like mango juice and there is any number of reasons that could be the case. I would say that isn't a typical flavor for gewürz, but it doesn't make it wrong. You may have just liked that bottle and not other typical bottles. Climate, fermentation, yeast, age, oak, etc, all play into what make a wine tastes the way it does. Sulfur (sulfites, what they are actually referring to is Potassium Metabisulfite) is something totally different. First of all, sensory perception doesn't start until like 55ppm, which is WAY overdosed. US limits I believe are like, 65-70ppm, which again, is so far overkill it's absurd. 25-30ppm for reds is usually good and up to 35-40ppm for whites is usually adequate. Should you have a wine that has perceivable levels of sulfites in it you will feel serious nasal irritation. Sort of higher nasal irritation and it could even make your eyes water a bit. All of this is to say, sulfites being in a wine is a red herring on your "I liked this but not that" quest. You may have just found a wine you really liked, in which case go buy more and enjoy it. I hoped that helped. I'll check back if you have any other follow up questions. I really dig talking about this stuff.

Correction to legal limit: 350ppm. Which is laughable.

@@JoshNeilTHE Interesting, thanks for answering! We had like 6 bottles that night so I might have gotten my tasting notes mixed up. :P If the sulfite levels are below the perception threshold then that can't really be it, makes sense. I looked it up, and the Rennersistas Gewürz 2021 does have added sulfites too so there's that. In my mind it lacked a very "winey" tasting note that I find in most other wines and it was super fruity... Maybe it's a particularly young wine then? Who knows. You're right, I should probably buy another bottle for science, and maybe ask my wine dealer to recommend me something similar.

@@Schindlabua Young wines have a tendency to be fruity. You could also try warm climate wines. California, Australia, etc. I would be interested if you could nail down what that winey characteristic was. Ultimately, there is a wine out there for everyone, but everyone may not like every wine, and that's fine. Drink what you like and don't let people look down on you for it.

If it's public, can you share a link? I really enjoy reading such papers.

@@AKalininskaya Would you be willing to share?

@@AKalininskaya so it's not published? What study did you do?
