Granted, alcohol abuse occurs in all countries, and from my experience, some of the countries that allow alcohol from a young age still knock back quite a few now and again, I think it's important to teach adolescents that there is more to alcohol than the feeling it gives you. Being 23, I'm one of the only people I know my age who actually have a fairly in depth knowledge of wine(and I am, of course, still learning!) Teaching young girls to appreciate wine at such a young age will benefit not only themselves, but the wine industry as a whole. I think the wine-tasting club idea is a genius.

I could barely take a sip just to evaluate it--really bad. My tasting partner enjoyed it though and I happily relinquished the rest of the bottle. The bottle looks like a cheap grocery store salad dressing. And pouring is a disaster--the opening is so big the wine slops all over the place. Not that I cried over the spilled wine. http://swirlsmellslurp.com/2009/12/big-macs-mondays-hail-a-cab/ We just tasted a bottle of the “Bordeaux” by Coppola.
