“It’s OK. We’ll find a way to get ingredient labels on wine.”
The Wine Curmudgeon’s 10th annual Do-it-yourself New Year’s wine resolutions. Let’s start 2023 off with a few giggles.
Just click on the drop-down menus and select your wine resolutions for the new year. And, as always, thanks to Al Yellon , since I stole the idea from him — and he has never once complained (and still has to write about the Cubs).
In 2023, I will:
lobby for ingredient labels, because it’s the right thing to do. oppose ingredient labels, because wine doesn’t need them. drink Bud, because it has an ingredient label. wonder what wine is hiding by not listing ingredients.
In 2023, I will try to learn:
more about sulfites in wine, since ingredient labels are coming. how I can find 92 point wine for $15. Who cares about ingredients? why sulfites give me wine headaches, since I only drink a bottle a night. if sulfites are vegan.
In 2023, I will buy:
more interesting wine with lower alcohol. 15 percent alcohol wine, because 95 points. “healthy wine,” so I can still drink a bottle a night. anything but wine. Where’s the kombucha?
In 2022, I will try to support:
local wineries, which will make the WC happy. whatever winery gets 95 points. sustainable and natural wine, because the planet. any retailer with a sale on hard seltzer
In 2023, I expect wine prices:
to increase, thanks to premiumization. to increase, but who cares? I’m only worried about scores. to increase, because “healthy” wine should be expensive. to decrease. Who drinks that junk anyway!
