9. Thank you for posting this. A really good lesson on wine tasting. Even after being in the biz

I learned new things.
My consumption of white wine has dropped because it bumps up my triglycerides. Same with rosé.

I used to drink a lot of Australian wine, but since moving to France, they are difficult to find, usually lower end from the bigger producers, and pricey. However, Konstantin's analysis applies across the board when it comes to differences in quality vs price, especially with the larger producers.

We drink red wine from specific regions now: Cote du Rhone, Luberon, Languedoc, some Burgundy. And usually from small producers.

We were consuming a lot rose wine, but for various reasons, have mostly stopped.
Boxed wine in France varies from 'more than ok' to 'very good' - prices range from €15 to €40 for 5 litres.
