Sweet wine is too cloying. Dry is too sour. You need something in between and to suit almost all dishes. If this is your reasoning, you need a semi-sweet wine. The main thing is to choose it correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
In the wine section, first of all, pay attention to the place where the bottle is. Do not use those items that are directly under the light of the lamps that illuminate the shop windows. Under the influence of light and heat, the bottles heat up, the wine almost boils in them. From this, the drink loses its taste and aroma qualities. It is better to take specimens from the lower shelves or at the back of the rows.
Step 2
Decide why you are choosing a semi-sweet wine. It used to be thought that white wine goes with white meat and fish, and red wine goes with red meat. In fact, any meat can be cooked with various spices, soaked in an interesting marinade and served with the most unusual sauces. Therefore, when choosing the color of wine, you should focus on the general flavoring background of the table and personal preferences. If the wine will be served as an aperitif before the main meal, sparkling wines (carbonated) are ideal.
Step 3
The choice of the country of manufacture depends on your financial capabilities. If you choose wine less than 500 rubles, watch the drinks of the "New World" countries: Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia, North and South America. Their wines in any price segment are cheaper than the products of the "Old World". Therefore, an inexpensive semi-sweet wine is likely to be good.
Step 4
If you choose wine more expensive than 500 rubles, you can safely take drinks from the countries of the "Old World". These are Italy, France, Italy, Germany. Wine production in these states began since the days of Ancient Rome. As the founders of this drink, they sell good quality wines, but more expensive.
Step 5
After you have decided on the type of wine and country of origin, pay attention to the label. The name of the company on it should be written large, distinguishable. If a company is honest and provides quality drinks, it has nothing to fear. And if the name of the company is written in small print, and it is difficult to find it right away, you should refuse to buy it.
Step 6
Also, pay attention to another factor. If one company is indicated on their labels of cheap and expensive wine, it is better to refuse such drinks. It rarely happens that one and the same company can produce high-quality cheap and expensive wines.
Step 7
Look at the cooking time of the wine. The traditional “the older the wine, the better” does not work with semisweet wine. The fact is that semi-sweet wines are never expensive. Mixed grapes and preservatives are used in their preparation. This significantly reduces the cost of the preparation process, and, accordingly, reduces the cost of wine. For democratic drinks, the opposite is true: the younger it is, the better. Old wine can turn sour.
