Quit whining that you can’t choose a bottle of wine! An edgy new bimonthly magazine called Wine X finally demystifies fine wine in language you can understand -- even if your favorite vintage currently includes the word cooler. Dedicated to attacking the elitism surrounding wine and making vino hip to sip, Wine X interviews well-known oenophiles such as singer Tori Amos and prints review that ditch wine-snob vocabulary in favor of imagery you’ll actually get (“Handley 1997 Pinot Gris, Anderson Valley, $16: Like a freshly pressed sundress on Jane Krakowski [Elaine on Ally McBeal] -- crisp, floral and full-bodied, in a very sexy way”).
