The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW) Episode 245 Exploring all things wine with you! In this episode Kim and Mark talk about Wine Stories and Wine In Glass. First we discuss "Wine stories". They can refer to a wide range of narratives associated with wine, including historical anecdotes, tales about famous winemakers, and the cultural significance of wine in various societies. From the legendary origins of wine in ancient civilizations to the stories behind specific bottles or vineyards, the world of wine is rich with captivating stories that explore its creation, appreciation, and impact on human culture. Then we talk about reasons Wine is sold in glass bottles. Wine is often stored in glass bottles for several reasons: 1. Preservation: 2. Inert Material: 3. Protection from Light: 4. Aesthetics: Glass bottles 5. Tradition and Perception: 6. Recyclability: However, it’s worth noting that while glass is the most common material for wine bottles, there are other packaging options available, such as bag-in-box, Tetra Paks, and even cans. These alternatives can offer convenience, cost savings, and reduced environmental impact, but they may not provide the same level of protection and aging potential as glass bottles for certain types of wines intended for long-term cellaring.
