José Rafael Arango, wine connoisseur, teacher, lover of history and ‘sommelier’ of Grupo Éxito.
The beauty of wine compared to other alcoholic beverages is its diversity. Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, in her book on grapes,
says that man has vinified 1,368 varieties of ‘vitis vinifera’.
At Expovinos there are always good cheeses, hams and dishes to accompany the tastings.
From my experience in tastings, I can say that people revolve around 3 whites and 5 reds. The idea is that they meet others,
get out of what they usually drink and
dare to try
new varieties.
Italy, which has more than 500 varieties, and then there are countries like Portugal, where there are more than 350 different varieties.
