I mentioned during one of my previous posts about wine studying.  It's been less than a year since I started and  I am enjoying it tremendously.  As I gain knowledge and acquire tasting skills, I thought I share some interesting facts about wine.  This will be my first of many posts to come ...

There is a misconception that all wines improve with age.  However this is not true.  Over 90% of all wines produced in the world should be consumed within a year.  And, more interestingly, less than 1% should be aged more than 5 years.  But, no need to be alarmed.  1% equates to over 35 million bottles of wine produced in a year worldwide.
