Really?! ... This past holiday season I wrote this article for a Wine Club newsletter. I think it is well worth sharing with all of you, because it actually applies all year long!. "Well, before you get your “game on”, you may want to think twice before speaking with a little too much bravado. Holidays are here and so is the season to entertain. The best thing you can do for yourself is ENJOY your wine consumption. Whether it is modest or significant, the key is for you and your friends and family to be enjoying the experience. Therefore consider why quality wine preservation makes sense. Maybe you do finish the bottle, but you want to have a second or...
It is good to share some statistics of interest. Keep them in mind the next time you are out socially whether dining or event … what do you see? They say “numbers do not lie” though they can be interpreted though many ways. Overall, I’d say it is pretty “spot” on.

Still not sure about the question “do I need to preserve?” We suggest you reconsider your thinking. Think of preservation as a positive thing, and that it is your own secret weapon. The issue is that most people do not realize or think of preservation as a consideration. If they did, people would drink differently and actually all for the good. Probably drink a variety more often and drink better wines. I drink a better bottle of red wine regularly (my wife drinks whites), and have the freedom to enjoy it over time.
