A bottle of wine, no, no, yes, and will appear on the table for the holiday in every home. How to choose this drink so as not to be disappointed after the first sip?
Instructions
Step 1
A cheap drink is not necessarily a bad one. Now you can find good wines on store shelves for only a couple of hundred rubles, the most important thing is not to expect them to taste much more wines. Many eminent manufacturers have their own budget lines that you can trust, and when choosing a wine worth up to half a thousand rubles, it is better to choose alcohol from the New World - Chile, South Africa, Argentina.
Step 2
Often people do not want to buy a particular wine when they see a bottle with a screw cap. But now this cork is gaining more and more popularity. Expensive New Zealand and Australian alcohol that you find in stores will most likely be with a screw cap. Habitual cork stoppers are prone to diseases that are transmitted by wine, and screw corks do not have such problems. There are also glass and plastic stoppers.
Step 3
A good, quality wine can be called a balanced wine. It shouldn't be too sour, sweet, tannin or alcoholic. Each grape variety has its own characteristics, and sometimes it lacks, for example, softness or something else. In order to balance such a wine, a different kind of wine is sometimes added to it, and this is how a good product is obtained. Most of the ideal combinations have been known for a long time, they are used with might and main by producers, and it is more and more difficult to buy bad wine.
Step 4
Not every wine gets better with age. There are drinks that you should drink as quickly as possible, and there are those that can be stored for many years. If you choose wine for gatherings with your family, then take a bottle of the latest harvest, in this case the wine will feel more "open". The beauty of a young wine lies precisely in its freshness.
Step 5
There are wines that benefit from age. When choosing "age" wines, it is best to contact a professional, but if there is no one nearby, then you can see the table of vintages, which will tell you in what year and in what region there was a good harvest and when this drink is best to drink.
