Not a wine connoisseur ?, going to Italy ?. The Italians are not as stuck up as the French when it comes to wine (except maybe in Montepulciano), but if you want beer, go to Germany. In the mean time get used to wine. Even the cheap stuff is better then what’s sold here and the good stuff is amazing. There are 3 reasons I’ve been to Italy more often than any other Euro country - People, Food and Wine. As well they generally are tolerant of cyclists, especially when they find out you are touring the country on a bike. And as well, the food goes better with wine, just sayin.
