as a kid who drinks some alcohol on holidays and other events I have to say wine is my favourite

[jackass]

I live in Hawai'i on the island of O'ahu. I've also been to the Big Island a few times to visit family. I love it there and the last time we went there was a wine tasting at a nearby winery. Listen to Jimmy guys. Taste before you buy.

hey loving the advice on going to wine merchants as we at Wine Jam feel the same way! Somm Kash works at wine merchants that despense 100 samples and glasses at Vagabond but there are others as well as the Sampler in the UK

I usually don't take people wearing a disguise seriously, but I guess I'll make an exception this time. I learned a few things, cool video.

Would definitely want to hear more about the reasoning behind glass-sizes for wines, really getting into the science of it. 

Additionally, which wines go well with which meals, et cetera. Loving the premise!

I make my own wine I buy all kind of grapes I remove my socks and I step on all over it, I put it on bottle for Christmas gift for people I don't love the most. They tell me my wine has a kick to it. Go figure. 🍷🍷 Cheers.

This guy I like. And i love the new Drinks Tube! I've always wanted to learn more about wine, so please keep these videoes coming.

The principle of the wine glasses can be explained by using basic physics as well. The bigger glass for red wine is not only for easy-swirling. The surface of which oxygen can react with the liquid is also bigger. Conversely, the liquid surface of the "flute glasses" as Jimmy calls them are smaller; therefore the bubbles in the sparkling wine will dissipate into the air at a considerably slower rate!

Great wine shop at Clapham North station!! DVine Cellars, I use to buy wines when I was living in Stockwell

[Japeto]

Awesome! Can you do a video on introduction to types (genre's) of wines, and their relative attributes and traits that accompany them, this is something I've always had trouble recognizing :(

[pardilot]

We buy the cheaper wines as we have yet to know how to appreciate the quality of the different types of wines. Looking forward to being educated Jimmy. Would appreciate if you could review Australian wines as we live in 'cooeee' (on the edge) of the Barossa Valley. Lucky us.

I like how he's advocating the flute for sparkling even though pretty much every top sommelier agrees that sparkling wines typically TASTE better in a white wine glass...

[martymiao]

Very good video! What about a "passito" guide?

[verycalifragilisticexpialido]

I love your pins! The video is amazing, keep going :)

Jimmy "Wonderful" Smith. I salute You.

Traverse City, Michigan is an up and coming wine producer in the US. I recommend trying some MI wine if you can find it!

[Guy-TantikornC]

Looking forward for more videos from u!

[jordanbrown]

hey jamie i was just wondering your thoughts on drinking cask wine ? 

[daniishi]

Is there any reason for the different shapes of the decanters or is it just a simply touch of personality?

I'm getting into the winery world!

Cheers from Brazil!!

[RaverTiny]

I like this guy! He should do more Videos :)

[RobertUWL]

great ! but one really important detail is missing and that is the temperature of the wine to be served !
