At the Wine Shoppe we love helping customer’s explorer the wide world of wine!  One resource we steer customers to who are interested in learning more about wine is a website called Wine Folly This site does a great job simplifying and educating novices on the basics of wine and wine appreciation.  For example, did you know that most wines can be categorized into 9 different styles?  As diverse as the wines of the world are, once you taste examples from each of these 9 styles you’ll have a pretty good understanding of the range of all the wines in the world.  Yes, there are many nuances and subtle differences (and a few exceptions) but, if you’re a beginner, the bigger perspective of wine is the first thing to know before diving in.  The 9 Styles of Wine are:

1. Sparkling Wine

3. Full-Bodied White Wine

4. Aromatic (sweet) White Wine

5. Rosé Wine
