The Non-Expert explains how to select wine. If possible avoid these pitfalls:
- Typos, particularly in the spelling of “wine”
- Any cartoon likeness of a shark, monkey, Dracula wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses, or a drunk Frenchman urinating into a wooden barrel
- Endorsements like “From the creators of Robocop”
- Scratch-and-sniff technology
- Instructions to “Shake Well” or “Keep Away From Eyes, Skin, and Magnets”
- Claims such as “No Trans Fats” or “Contains 30% Real Wine”
- A vintage date that is a year in the future
Additionally, resist any wine with a pull-tab or a cork shaped like Boba Fett’s mask, and anything bottled in a war-torn country or a completely fictional one, such as Atlantis, Lilliput, or Moldova.
