What is ORANGE WINE? (And Why It's on Every Brunch Menu)

Orange wine isn't made from oranges — and it isn't a trend. It's the oldest wine in the world, made for 8,000 years in Georgia using clay vessels called qvevri. Today, it's on every brunch menu. So is it worth the hype, or just expensive amber-coloured marketing? I taste three orange wines — the icon, the ancient original, and the supermarket version — and answer the questions people are too embarrassed to ask: what it is, why it's everywhere, and when NOT to order it.

Start ordering wine you actually understand. 🔴 Wine Sense Method — read ANY wine label in any country: https://course.thegrandcruaffair.com/ 🍷 Free Vintage Chart: https://thegrandcruaffair.com/?utm_so... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE THREE BOTTLES TASTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Gravner 2016 (Friuli, Italy) — the benchmark Georgian qvevri wine — the 8,000-year-old original Gérard Bertrand Orange Gold 2023 — the approachable supermarket version ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 — What is orange wine actually 0:44 — White wine made like red wine: the method explained 1:42 — Georgia and qvevri: the 8,000-year-old origin 2:36 — Why orange wine is suddenly on every brunch menu 3:47 — What orange wine actually tastes like 4:43 — Tasting Gravner 2016: the benchmark 5:45 — Tasting Georgian qvevri wine 6:36 — When NOT to drink orange wine 7:21 — Orange wine ≠ natural wine 9:12 — How to pick your first orange wine bottle 9:51 — Tasting the supermarket version 10:45 — Is it worth the hype?
