In the words of my teacher:
“If you don’t like wine, you better learn. It’s part of our culture. Americans drink Coca-Cola, we drink wine.”
Well that may have been the easiest assignment ever received. I must admit, wine has probably been my main source of hydration. I don’t even want to know the wine to water ratio my friends and I have consumed. Waiters actually think you’re a tad crazy if dinner is ordered without wine. It truly is part of the Italian culture to share conversation and wine… no complaints there.

On a personal note, I had a goal of liking red wine by the end of my time in Florence. The taste of red wine was not appealing to me
pre-Italy (guess that’s what you get for drinking boxed Franzia red wine). But I am happy to say within a week of being here; I now happily enjoy the taste.
