Wine Myths Busted: Legs, Age, and Price Don’t Tell the Whole Story

Rusty Sellers and Sour Grapes to bust three of the most common wine myths: Wine Legs Mean Quality The truth: Legs reflect alcohol and sugar content, not flavor or complexity. Sour’s take: “The only legs I trust are the ones that walk me out of a bad blind date.” Older Wine is Always Better Reality: Only a small fraction of wines age well. Most are meant to be enjoyed young. Sour’s story: That “aged to perfection” bottle? It tasted like wet socks — even his dog Bubbly wouldn’t touch it. Expensive Wine Tastes Better Fact: Price can reflect rarity or reputation, but taste is personal. Sour’s roast: “$300 for dirty laundry water. My twelve-buck Chianti hit the high notes so good, the lasagna asked for an encore.” 🎙️ Sponsor Spotlight: This episode is bottled by Bubbly Creek Winery — fresh, approachable wines crafted for everyday enjoyment. 👉 Follow us on social @thebestwinepod and share your funniest wine myth stories — we might feature yours on a future episode! @thebestwinepod Discover More from The Best 5 Minute Podcast Network: Wine Podcast Music Podcast Travel Podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
