Embarrassed about your wine knowledge? Spit or swallow is written
for those wishing to know a little bit more about wine in order for
them to enjoy it a lot more. Wine, like foreplay, requires a little
effort. With Spit or swallow, you will soon be right on the button,
so to speak. Spit or swallow focuses more on the good life of food,
wine and pleasure than it does on technical jargon contained in
wine speak. It is a guide to living with wine as a healthy and
integral part of your daily life. Wine makes food taste better, it
makes occasions more memorable and it makes us happy. Spit or
swallow is here to give a fresh approach and make the whole
wine-thing less scary. Wine nerds talk about the characters of a
wine as being cheerful, subtle and full of mystery, supple or well
rounded. The descriptions are so ambiguous that sometimes you don't
know whether to drink them or take them to bed. Wine is a simple
subject that has been rendered complicated and boring over time by
wine geeks. Although hours of wine babble about soils and vintages
is important to the real professionals, all we really want to know
is: does it taste good and can I drink it? It is not the
intricacies and technicalities which interest us, but rather the
enjoyment of drinking and sharing wine - the passion of it all! The
great part about learning about wine is that it's fun! Although
wine is created from a single fruit, the simple grape, this fruit
can deliver a product, year after year, that is dynamic in so many
ways - colour, texture, intensity, flavour, complexity, to name but
a few. Above all, wine adds a dimension to our lives that many
would not wish to live without. Imagine watching the sun go down
without a glass of icy cold Sauvignon Blanc in your hand; imagine a
rainy Saturday afternoon by the fire with your lover without a
large glass of rich, luscious Shiraz. Spit or swallow focuses on
good wine, good food, good friends, good laughs and good times.
