Video sum up: Are women any better than men at wine tasting?

The answer is: Women are NO better at tasting wine than men.

Jeremy thinks we all have the same ability to enjoy and taste wine.

That’s why he recommands:

• if you are a woman try a big highly alcoolic Cabernet from South America or Australia
• if you are a man try a nice delicate Pinot Gris from Alsace (France) or a Pinot Grigio

Video Sum up: Corks VS Screw tops / Screw caps

There are no real difference between corks and screw tops.

• Corks have been used in wine making, wine packaging for hundreds of year. Corks are natural but are not always an indication of quality
• Screw tops were made to protect the wine and are easier to open.

The majority of the wines produced today are for early consumption so screw tops are perfectly fine for them.
