Almost every day we go to the shops, buying something necessary and not so much. When we celebrate a holiday according to the calendar, we will certainly visit a building with many shelves where the goods of interest to us are located. Most often, we devote most of our time to shelves with alcoholic beverages, where colorful labels and the diversity of glass bottles make us think for an indefinite time about the upcoming choice.
One way or another, but each of us wants to purchase high-quality products and not lose money with the final result. Nowadays wines have become very popular: red and white, sweet and dry, cheap and expensive … The variety of this type of alcohol makes us form our own opinion regarding the quality and cost of taste characteristics. But not every one of us can call ourselves a professional in choosing wine, sometimes we just take a bottle at random.
In order to choose a wine, there are many principles, applying which you will not only save on your health, but also feel the entire palette of flavor shades. Here is some of them:
- The year of the crop must be indicated on the label of the bottle you choose. If it was not there, then the wine is either of poor quality or very old.
- When choosing, pay great attention to the cork! If it is defective, then the wine will have an unpleasant aftertaste. Better to give preference to bottles with a screw cap.
- The full name of the manufacturer must also be indicated on the label. Remember, a manufacturer with nothing to hide will never encrypt its name, much less hide it. An indication of the sub-region of winemaking will also be a huge plus. For example, if the label says Italy, it means that the grapes for this drink were harvested throughout the region, which is not very good. Rule: the smaller the geographical unit, the better the wine in terms of flavor.
- If you see the national quality control label (AOC, DOC, QWmP and others), do not hesitate, this wine is of excellent quality.
- Consider also the fact that wines have a price minimum. Take into consideration drinks costing from two hundred and fifty rubles. If you do choose a cheaper wine, then do not be too upset when you taste it, you will be very lucky if it is acceptable to your taste.

Many manufacturers nowadays most often do not filter their products, which is why in a wine bottle at the bottom you can see a sediment, the so-called tartar, which, when spilled, gives the wine a bitter aftertaste. To taste the whole range of exquisite tones of taste characteristics, it is necessary to carefully pour the wine into wine glasses. These tips will help you choose a wine worthy of any holiday table!
