Wine Snob or Wine Geek? Take The Test
Wine Snob or Wine Geek? Take The Test
Apr 26, 2013 6(Forbes) - Fact: there are significant differences between the Wine Snob and the Wine Geek. Geeks are passionate about everything from soil composition to fermentation techniques; they care about wild yeast and canopy management and are able to wax poetic about the pros and cons of micro-oxygenation. They also love the excitement of the unknown, the taste opportunity in a new wine.
Wine Snobs are more enamored with their own wine fabulousness, interested in making grand pronouncements about which wines they own, how big the bottles are and how much more they know about wine than the rest of the peasants. In essence, Wine Geeks are hungry for knowledge, invigorated by the endless supply of new learning that wine drinking brings whereas Wine Snobs prefer to lord their knowledge over the rest of us. A gut check on your wine personality is always a good thing: wine is about enjoyment, if it starts becoming a contest, well, then you’re missing out.
