The rich European terroir – all its flavours, all its nuances. Gone! There’s no richness left. No nuance.
Poison and lies: that’s the European terroir, just as it’s the terroir everywhere.
The only terroir is poisoned and the only wine is poisoned wine. Everything else is a lie.
Which is why disgust is our truest response, our first response – and it must be our response to everything. They’ve poisoned the air. They’ve poisoned the earth. They’ve poisoned us – God knows. They’ve left nothing alone. They’ve turned everything disgusting. And that’s what we have to know. A new kind of wine drinker: that’s what’s required. A new non-connoisseur. The anti-gourmand who drinks only poison. A poison without flavours. Without nuances; just poison.
