"I’m Terry Thomas. I’m here on ExpertVillage.com to bring you a little about the appreciation of wine. I’ve been actually interested, I’ve been on a fishing auto, a fan maybe even a nut about wine for almost 40 years, I have a degree in chemistry and I’ve been involved in the food industry all these years and wine was just a normal extension of this endeavor. Why wine? Well wine actually goes back before our recorded history and through these thousands of years while we have continued to improve on the processes, the quality and all, and I’ve often said that it’s not nice to fool mother nature but in some respects we have definitely improved on mother nature in really getting the most out of wines, eliminating a lot of the risk and the opportunities for bad wines and today we’re the beneficiaries of great technology of globalization and we have more wine and more excellent wine than we ever thought possible."

on 8/2/2008 Videos are weak on information. Expert says a lot of words but conveys very little information. For instance: Wine Glasses - the expert mentions that the shape of the glass is very important but the only information conveyed is that the stem prevents wine from heating; nothing about how the shape of the glass affects the enjoyment of the wine. Finally, author uses hmmm, ummmm, uhhhh a lot when descriptive words would communicate more information.
