A Free Preview from Juice Jargon:
Balance
Wine is all about balance. It is primarily a balance between the three main components of wine: fruit, tannin and acidity. It can also be a balancing act with food, or special circumstances. If someone shares a special bottle of wine with you, the circumstances and the situation may make the wine more memorable.
Acidity
Acidity and acid are words you will come across throughout this book, and everywhere wine is discussed. Some people cringe when acid is mentioned. Perhaps they conjure up images of battery acid. The acid in wine is like lemon juice, it tastes sour. Lemon has to be balanced by sugar when you make lemonade. Too much lemon, or too much sugar, and the lemonade will be out of balance.
As the grape ripens, the amount of sugar in it increases, and the amount of acidity decreases. This is true for all fruits. The wine maker wants the grapes to be picked when they are at their perfect balance between sugar and acidity.
The sugar will be turned into alcohol by the yeast during fermentation. Too much sugar and the wine may be alcoholic, or have problems during production (stuck fermentation). If there is too much acid and not enough sugar, you will get a wine that is sour and unpleasant.
This same balancing act is what we are paying attention to when we taste wine. We want to determine if the wine has a pleasing balance between sweet and sour, and something not quite bitter - tannin.

Have you ever been in a situation
where you wanted to say something about a wine,
but simply did not know what to say?
Do you suspect you would enjoy wine more,
if you just knew a little more about it?
You would buy wines from around the world, if you knew more about them, or
you would order a wine at a restaurant, but you are not sure how to pronounce it, or
you have a friend that says the oddest things, but you have no way to refute him, or
you have seen that label before, but you are just not sure what to expect, or
you hate to buy that wine, because you don't know if it is worth the price, or
you enjoy wine, but everyone just makes it too big a deal?
