Wine for Beginners

Wine Army is a space for you to gain confidence around wine, whether you drink or just want to feel comfortable in wine-related spaces. Wine is less about alcohol and more about cultural fluency. Terms can be confusing, situations can feel intimidating, and you can easily feel like an outsider.

 

Through weekly articles, contributor voices (you could be one), and simple lessons, you can build more confidence in navigating wine culture.

Why Wine Fluency Matters:

  • Professional dinners: You’re sitting at a work dinner with your boss, the server hands you the wine list, and suddenly you’re expected to choose something for the table you’ve never heard of.​

  • Social gatherings: You're at a friend's house (the sophisticated friend who owns cloth napkins) and someone hands you a glass while talking about tannins, acidity, or “old world vs new world.”​​ And you're not sure what to say.​​

​​

  • Special occasions: You’re at a wedding or holiday dinner and someone asks what you think of the wine. Well...what do you think of it?

That's fluency and it's what you get with Wine Army.
