Summer Wine
Hot-weather drinking requires its own genre of wines: light, easygoing, blithe and, above all, refreshing. These sorts of wines are enjoyable year-round, but in the sweaty summer months, the desirable becomes the imperative.
It’s not a question of red or white or even pink. All are good as long as they come in the proper summer weight. Just as winter wools are stored away, so are enervating heavy wines that weigh you down, rather than pep you up.
These summery wines are especially appealing when the price is equally untaxing. I’ve long asserted that the gratest values in wines are in the $15 to $25 range.
According to the text, all the alternatives below are correct, except:
a) refreshing wines are enervating and not exciting.
b) light, easygoing and refreshing wines are suitable for summer.
c) heavy wines must be stored away during the summer like the winter wools are.
d) refreshing wines are desirable during the whole year, but a must for the summer.
