I’ve set up two sets of questions.

One for the General Public and the

other for Wine Professionals.

Let’s see what they have to say….

General Public.

1- Name? Laura Weiss.

2- Occupation? LTO/MOTC. 

3- What is your favourite grape? It doesn’t matter I just love grapes.

4- What is your favourite wine? I like the Dessert Wines the best.

5- Are you a fan of Champagne or Sparkling wines? Oh yes those are oooooh so good.

6- Do you have a country of preference? Not really but after living with Italians for a while I’ve been known to lean more towards that countries wines. 

7- How do you enjoy wine? With food, on it’s own, social etc. I like it on it’s own the most, but I am a social drinker, not into being a “wino”.

8- What influences your wine choices? Price, occasion, season etc. Price doesn’t matter, occasion depends on what is being celebrated and seasons don’t matter. 

9- How much do you roughly spend on a bottle of wine? The most I’ve ever spent was around $100, sometimes I feel like the cheap stuff because I like it also.

10- Do you think retailers do enough to educate the public on wine? I don’t mean health wise. N/A

11- How would you describe your own level of wine knowledge? I don’t know much at all other than its so much better than other alcoholic beverages.

12- Would you like to know more? I’ve been learning a lot by reading your blog. 

13- What is the best thing, for you, about wine?  I don’t really have a best thing, I just like it, it’s tasty and smooth.

14- Are you a wine ‘Buff’ or a wine ‘Scruff?’ More of a scruff.

Thank you Laura.

If I ever find myself in Springfield, Missouri, I’m buying you a drink. Your answer to question 12 is pure class.

Nice to be receiving comments from around the globe.

If you’re a member of the public, or wine professional, and would like to take part then let me know. Leave me your details and I’ll email you the relevant questions.
