The apologists
“Some people always feel like they need to apologise when they don’t like the wine on your table,” Niall Penlington, owner of Henny’s wine bar in Tooting and assistant editor of Wine List Confidential, said, “Most of the time it’s not necessary. I didn’t make it.”
In fact, even if the person presenting a wine did make it, it’s still important to hear honest feedback. Producers want you to enjoy their wines, not be polite.
