After talking to several oenologists and wine makers during the wine tours we organize in Puglia, we have the impression the tendency will be towards wines which have less and less a distinctive wood – oak taste. Instead, we think wines will be appreciated when they reveal the unique flavors of the indigenous grapes (such as Aglianico, Primitivo, Negroamaro in Italy).

Successful wines will be those who have good structure, lots of flavors and “elegance”.

And you? do you agree with this view?

What kind of wine do you personally prefer? Do you like the wood taste?

How do you choose which wine to buy? do you base on ratings, price or what else?
