As a home brewer and member of a Home Brew Club that puts on the New England Home Brewewrs Jamboree, I / we like refer to the BJCP guidlines.

My wife has been making wine for 6 or 7 years now and she asked me if there were a similar set of guidelines for Wine.

Nah, the wine "Experts" can't agree on what defines good wine. Personally, I think that the problem is that there are too many snobs who don't actually know what they are doing who are called "Experts" due to their exceptional levels of elitism. That is why they don't like to talk about the kit wines that win medals in blind taste test wine competitions, IMHO.

Have you ever noticed that the napkin that comes sealed in a plastic bag with the fork, spoon, & condiments smells like the essence of black pepper? It has HUGE black pepper aroma! I'm pretty certain that Christopher Walken is behind this.... :mrgreen:

I think that most amateur contest classify by variety

Does seem a bit odd that there are not guidelines for style...
