Men and women have been collecting wine for
centuries, because of the stunning qualities of wine. The nuances in taste,
quality, and aromas dependent on vintner techniques and grape selection make
the collection of wine an art form similar to collecting oil paintings or
sculptures. But wine also has the ability to become a social centerpiece at a meal,
a means of promoting friendship (as pointed out by poet Gay), and even a
commercial enterprise for those who like to buy, sell, and trade bottles of
wine.
An Amazing Array
Australians appreciate wine and in 2006 the
country was the sixth largest producer of the world's wine. Wine is produced in
all the states and the variety of growing conditions has led to the creation of
wines from every categories including red wine, white wine, sparking wine,
fortified wine, and dessert wine. Even more fascinating is the fact that the
various categories of wine include variations depending on which Australian
state grapes and production methods were used.
