Wine a Day

Hi and welcome to Wine a Day!

I thought I should tell you about me and what this site is all about. I have an interest in wine, among other things, and I like to try many different varieties, from many different regions, as I can. I am not what most would consider a wine expert, however I enjoy wine and know enough about it to make decent choices. On this site I do not want to go into technical enology, or overly elaborate tasting notes in describing the wines I feel are of interest. For me wine is something to be enjoyed with a meal and with friends, the how and why is seconday.

With that in mind, this site is det up to give you some ideas for wines, regions and grape varieties that you may not have had the pleasure of tasting. It should give you an idea of what I feel the value versus quality of the wine is. As you probably know an expensive wine is usually very good. But let’s face it, not many of us can afford a €200 bottle of wine with each meal! If you can, then you can afford to have a personal assistant take care of your wine choices and you don’t need my site… I hope this site can give you some ideas and options for good quality wines that do not empty your bank account.

So, to the name of the site… A wine a day may, or may not, keep the doctor away – I do not know for sure. There are medical accounts on both sides of the argument. What I do know is that a glass of wine makes a meal far more enjoyable. There are exceptions to this of course. However, for the majority of meals a wine will accompany it perfectly and you will enjoy the experience far more. Eating and being with friends is something we all do, why not enjoy it to the full. It will not need to be costly either.

I hope you enjoy the site. Please feel free to contribute any of your experiences with us. And if you have any questions please contact me.
