With a giggle, I started scribbling down the descriptions given to various bottles by a wine merchant recently:
- “Daring, robust and bold”
- “Fine, aged and austere”
- “Voluptuous, lush and decadent”
- “Rounded and supple”
- “Will improve with age”
- “Serious; rather stern”
- “Cheeky, insolent and fun”
- “Perfect for a fun evening in”
The first four are true, but you can see why I thought that more suggestions were necessary. Any oenophiles out there care to suggest any other should-be-true wine descriptions?
So I googled “wine descriptions” and found a random generator for wine reviews. Some of the best:
– sweet and desperate
– pretty but equally limp
– Well focused and freakishly evil
– Good and elegant
And perhaps my favourite: “Forcefully bites you” 😉
