There is the same snobisme with wine as there is with books.Rosé would come in the same as crime or fantasy.A notch under white.Personnaly i love great wine but also simple nice table wine from ,let say val de loire,or a honest cote du rhone rather than a fancy beaujolais.As well as that there is,like in literature, so many connaisseur with the same picturesque jargon.For my part i think i can very well classify wine,like books,with those 5 stars but not much more,bad,mediocre,average,good,excellent and ok maybe supreme but that's it.
We were talking about Holiday book and i must say that a rosé de provence in Provence under an olive three for a light lunch ,beat all the bourgone in the world.Like reading Cioran on a deck chair beside a pool would somewhat spoiles the mood.It is all a matter of circonstance and timing.
