WHAT IS AN OENOPHILE ? ?
It seems like today everyone is drinking wine! WHY NOT ? It is healthy in moderation, it raises your dining experience to a new level by enhancing the flavour of your food and it's a great social experience when you are with your friends.
Today is seems like everyone considers themselves to be an OENOPHILE, and that's not a bad thing!
In the strictest sense, oenophilia describes a disciplined devotion to wine, accompanying strict traditions of consumption and appreciation. In a general sense however, oenophilia simply refers to the enjoyment of wine, often by laypersons.
