Exploring Minerality
Funny how things happen. Until the 1990s, the term minerality didn’t appear in the most acclaimed guides, not even the Oxford Companion to Wine. For wine lovers all over the world, flavors were basically fruity, floral, spicy, herbal…
Then, suddenly, this new word – minerality – emerged to become the trendiest descriptor in the wine lover’s lexicon. Googling it produces more than a million results. The term itself is relatively new: according to a study examining the word’s evolution in French literature, associations between minéralité (minerality) and vin (wine) have increased since 1985. Yet, despite this recent explosion of popularity, a unique definition has not been created.

This is an awesome trip down the memory lane of alcohol. I look at alcohol like anything else in this world. In moderation, friendships have been forged and great times can be had. Excess can lead to a bad outcome. I am always in awe of the artform aspect of the alcohol industry and the countless beverages available. Cool article!
