Wine does not have to be a mystery. It doesn't need to make you feel you're being tested to join some secret Skull and Bones Society. The stuff is, after all, wine. All you really need to know is how to get it open and which end of the glass to drink from. We're pretty sure it's the open part. Most of us drink it because it's fun.

One extremely loyal listener – and very tough man – binge listened to every “Bottle Talk” from all 5½ seasons, and no surprise, had some questions about our confusion. He also admits to nightmares. So we answer some of his questions, including one about the shape of wine glasses, minerality, gadgets that supposedly make wine better when you pour it, and why we don’t have super impressive wine degrees. (Simple answer: Too much work.) Plus our horrible wine writing is cliché, meaningless, repetitive and it repeats itself with meaningless clichés.
