Preach! Great point though. If we’re all going to insist on wine being so “subjective” I guess eventually people are going subjectively hate certain things like VA LOL
I’ve really been feeling the same way lately. It’s like you read my mind. I’ve recently poured out 2 wines for this exact reason. I love natural wines but can’t understand why they all need to be funky. Why cant the goal to be to produce natural wines in a traditional style. Check out Alfred Eames. Doing great stuff unfined and unfiltered.
taste is subjective, but a flaw isn’t. VA is a flaw and if it’s ever DOMINANT it shouldn’t be considered a small amount. Wine should be enjoyed, and it’s tough to enjoy any wine when it’s dominated by a fault. VA, Brett, EA, TCA - you name it.
Ugh yes! I wish people stopped normalising these faulty wines. Mouse also, who wants a wine that tastes like a hamster cage?! There are so many good natural wines out there, like you said that taste like “conventional” wine, but it’s so hard to find them when people are pushing battery juice 🥲
yes yes yes! Nodding to it all. <3
this is usually a result of not using sulfur
