What’s the biggest lie wine culture tells beginners?

I think the biggest lie wine culture tells beginners is that you’re supposed to instantly understand and appreciate wine the right way.
People act like you need to taste hints of leather, tobacco, wet forest floor and cherry preserves or else your opinion doesn’t count. Meanwhile most beginners are just trying to figure out whether they actually enjoy the glass in front of them.

There’s also this weird pressure to believe expensive better or that sweeter, easier drinking wines are somehow less valid. A lot of wine culture can feel more like trying to look knowledgeable than enjoying wine. I feel like beginners would enjoy wine way more if people stopped treating it like a test.
