There really is no exact nor canonical definition of “orange wine” out there. But the best attempt to define the often murky and cloudy stuff was scribed by the inimitable Thor Iverson here.
Eric was at the same dinner described by Thor, as was Alice.
One thing you can say for certain about orange wine is that even though there is no succinct, clear cut definition of what it is, you definitely know when you’re drinking it!
In retrospect, I think that were I to offer myself advice on the subject, it would probably be: just shut up and drink it already! ;-)
I’m going to have to look for some “orange” wine!
