Appetites: What's in a good bottle of wine?
When it comes to booze today, cocktails are trendy and beer is just about everywhere.
But Erik Eastman, a drink connoisseur from Easy and Oskey, wants something different. He's advocating for a "return to wine."
The wine world, though, can be daunting given the swath of different white and reds.
There are vintage wines and Old World wines. Then there's that $40 bottle in the corner of the store that's for some reason dusty, or Two Buck Chuck (which really goes for $3).
Eastman recently returned from a trip to France where he discovered what goes into a great bottle for less than $20.
He joined All Things Considered host Tom Crann to share what exactly makes wine "good" and how to pick bottles from a variety of price ranges.
