"Buying Wine with Confidence"
Don’t get frazzled when you’re shopping for wine. Browsing and buying wine should be a fun, positive experience. Remember these helpful hints when you hit the wine shop:
No one in the world knows everything about wine.
Smart people aren’t afraid to ask “dumb” questions.
The purpose of wine is to be enjoyed.
Expensive doesn’t necessarily mean you will enjoy it more.
The purpose of wine is to be enjoyed.
Cheers Larry Bordeaux

Try Lots of Things, and Pay Attention to What You Like
If you’re already interested in wine, this should be easy. All you really need to do is drink more wine! Drink different wines, from different parts of the world. Start with different varietals, or those different “types” you see wines organized by at the Bottle Shop (E.G Network Wines. Jindalee. Tastings on Friday from 5.30pm). Try a pinot noir, and then try a cabernet sauvignon. Try a chardonnay, and then try a Gris. There’s a big difference in flavour between types of wine, even the same “colour.” As you drink, you’ll come to associate specific flavours with specific types of wine. This is your first step to figuring out what you like and what you don’t—and it’s the first step away from “I don’t like/only drink red/white wine,” which is huge. Too many people write off all reds or whites because they don’t like one specific type, and that’s all they’ve ever had.
Enjoy your wine journey
Cheers …..

People who love wine want to be knowledgeable about wine — and perhaps hopefully, share that knowledge with others. Wine is a subject where increased knowledge really can increase one's appreciation for and enjoyment of it. Put another way, the more you know about wine, the more you can appreciate and enjoy wine. A wine lover knows what sorts of wines they like most and why. A wine enthusiast like me understands a bit more about wine than someone who is simply a wine lover. A wine enthusiast knows something about the different flavours and aromas of different wine grapes. Drinking and understanding the fundamentals of Wine often gets a bad rap. Sometimes it’s deserved: Elaborate and intentionally fussy language make wine difficult to get into, big reviewers and high-priced wines make normal people think it’s too expensive and precious.
So if you like a glass here and there, or even buy a few bottles for holiday dinners or special occasions, how do you learn to appreciate things like how the wine was made, what it’s made from, how it tastes, and how one wine differs from another? Ask Larry Bordeaux…
