"It's not a bad wine, but pour me some mineral water in a glass." And thus all the efforts of winegrowers and winemakers are destroyed in a second by the attack of mineral or some similar water that turns the wine in question into a sweet "gemišt", a liquid without a soul. Good wine, which with love and great work of winegrowers and winemakers can be made only once a year, in one movement of the bottle turned into gemišt (mixed), špricer (injection) or bevandu, sin is equal to barbarism. I understand that bad wines diluted with water become a drinkable liquid, but wine should be drunk as wine, therefore for pleasure, and water as water, therefore against thirst. Just a little time spent getting to know wine is considered stupid and snobbish, because wine is wine. We believe that it should not be philosophized, read and written about, but only drunk. The wine is white or red, sweet or dry and this is what most wine drinkers and so-called the wine connoisseur knows about it. In fact, if you really want to enjoy wine, you have to pay a little attention to it, because it will return the effort many times over with the pleasure of drinking.I am writing this because many people drank this night ....... ”Nije loše to vino, ali ulij mi malo mineralne u čašu“ I time sav trud vinogradara i vinara biva u sekundi uništen napadom mineralne ili neke slične vode koja dotično vino pretvori u slatkasti “gemišt”, tekućinu bez duše. Dobro vino, koje se s ljubavlju i velikim radom vinogradara i vinara može napraviti samo jedanput godišnje, jednim pokretom boce pretvoriti u gemišt (mješanac), špricer (uštrcak) ili bevandu, grijeh je ravan barbarizmu. Shvaćam da loša vina razblažena vodom postaju pitka tekućina, ali vino treba piti kao vino, dakle iz užitka, a vodu kao vodu, dakle protiv žeđi. Samo malo utrošenog vremena za upoznavanje vina smatra se glupim i snobovskim, jer vino je vino. Smatramo kako o njemu ne treba filozofirati, čitati i pisati, nego ga treba samo piti. Vino je bijelo ili crveno, slatko ili suho i to je što većina vinopija i tzv. poznavatelja vina o njemu zna. U stvarnosti, ako se stvarno želi uživati u vinu, mora mu se pokloniti malo pažnje budući da će ono uloženi trud višestruko vratiti užitkom prilikom pijenja. Pišem to , jer su mnogi ove noći popili.......He he, sretna Nova Godina!!!!!!
