Summary

TLDRThis script is an educational guide to wine basics, focusing on nine common types: four whites (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Chardonnay, Riesling) and five reds (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others). It simplifies wine terminology and offers pairing tips, such as matching fats with tannins and pairing sweet/spicy foods with sweet wines. The key takeaway is to drink what you like, even if it defies traditional pairing rules.
