It is not the accepted way to appreciate finer wine. Temperature would be wrong and the wine would be watered down.

However, like with cigars. Drink what you like. Like what you drink.

brother we aint drinking too much what you would classify as fine wine. But I like some of the cheaper stuff I have had and some of the more expensive one's have been equally bad. So I have learned that wine is like cigars, cheaper is sometime but not always good and more expensive doesn't always mean better either.

Too funny. What I meant by "fine wine" is that it is something more than a generic table wine - although there are some of those that will surprise you. I guess another way to put it is that it is a varietal or blend of varietals specified on the bottle.

I am too much of a wine newbie to know much difference right now. I have been buying a cheap port at ABC Liquors and I like it very much. I was given a bottle of real Portugese port that really sucked.
