What is Wine Folly?
Wine = Science + Art
Wine Folly is a content site devoted to wine knowledge and appreciation. Our mission is to allow people to gain a deeper understanding of wine through learning.
The goal is for more people to view wine, not just as an adult beverage, but as a way to explore the world and ourselves.
