WBO专访亚洲著名葡萄酒作家林裕森
作为一位知名的葡萄酒作家，移动互联网的兴起改变了写作的方式，发行的载体。纸质书籍发行量下降，更多的作家转战微博、微信、视频，您对此怎么看？有没有想过更多借助移动互联网传播自己的观点和文章？
我一直偏好于比较自我的、旧的写作方式，而不太去思考市场问题。现在很多社群媒体，对我来说都比较陌生，我以往还会刻意保持某些距离。
但社群可以把许多有趣的事情连接在一起。它的影响力是非常深远的，社群媒体对于整个在葡萄酒行业发展非常关键。
“新旧世界”的区分方法已不合时宜
对于法国葡萄酒行业最近十年有的风格趋近于新世界的一些观点您如何看待？
在1990年代，旧世界确实面临很多威胁，但这并不能完全代表法国，有时候也受气候影响。
我认为，在我们这个年代，仅从新世界或旧世界来区分葡萄酒并不妥当。
喝葡萄酒要考证是必经之路
您认为培训教育对于葡萄酒消费升级有什么作用？据统计，2015年中国是WSET全球第二大市场，您如何看今天中国的葡萄wine教育？
我不太了解这边的情况。我想，也许环境和有些类似。在我们的文化里边，你拿到一个认证是非常重要的，即便是葡萄wine爱好者也还是会希望得到认证。
当然，当你把 葡萄wine 当做生活中饮料的时候，你就不会去考证照，就像如今大家也都喝茶，但是不会去考茶叶证照，这甚至不存在。
关于您的评论，请问您是否觉得这样的现象（一些教育机构开始从事销售）是在正常范围内呢？
WBO：目前中国 葡 萃 wine 培训机构很多，但有一些教育机构开始从事 葡 萃 wine 销售，您对这个现象怎么看？
Liu Yusheng: As a renowned wine writer, the rise of mobile internet has changed the way we write and publish. Paper books are selling less, while more writers turn to Weibo, WeChat, and videos. What do you think about this trend? Have you ever considered using mobile internet to spread your views and articles?
I prefer my own writing style from the past and don't often consider market trends. Social media is unfamiliar to me; I used to maintain some distance.
However, social media can connect many interesting things together. Its influence is profound; it's crucial for the development of the wine industry.
The division between new and old worlds is no longer suitable.
What do you think about recent changes in French wines that tend towards a new world style?
In the 1990s, there were many threats faced by old-world wines but these cannot fully represent France as sometimes climate also plays a role.
In our time now, it's not appropriate to distinguish between new or old worlds when talking about wines.
Drinking wine requires certification - it's an inevitable path forward:
How does training education impact upgrading of Chinese consumers' palate? According to statistics in 2015 China was WSET's second largest market worldwide - what do you think about today's Chinese Wine Education?
I'm not familiar with local situations but perhaps they resemble each other slightly. In our culture getting certified is very important even for those who love drinking alcohol as well as seeking certification.
Of course if one treats alcohol as part of their daily life then they won't need certifications like tea leaf certificates which hardly exist anymore either since everyone drinks tea now without needing them!
As far as your comments go would you say that such phenomena (some educational institutions starting sales) are within normal ranges?
