How to distinguish a good wine?
Nothing but types of wines (red, white, pink), degrees and rates is not clear. After a few minutes of “views” label to select, or the most beautiful or guided by price. Of course, it’s not uncommon “hit” and the selected wine will appreciate a good taste. But, unfortunately, not always. The most hurtful situations, when the wine gets to responsible action, and instead of “drink of the gods” get the acid powder a fake. Reading this article will not make you a qualified sommelier, but tell us how to distinguish good wine from bad and quality from cheap imitations.
Stage 1. Appearance.
Start with inspection labels. Print quality image of good wine always at a high level, stains, streaks, raspavshihsya letters can not be. The label is located clearly in the center, the edges are smooth, no traces of glue (check the bottle on the light). If any of the criteria is flawed, it is better to put this “copy”.
What information are looking for on the label: country of origin, the name of the plant, bottled beverage, its composition (alcohol content, sugar, etc.), date of manufacture. By the way, the date of bottling must be stated separately and not in the General stream.
Pay special attention to the country of production. Leaders of European wine are Italy, France and Spain: a good climate for wine-making, strict adherence to laws, age-old traditions. Selecting the wine is one of those countries, will not go wrong. New world wines (South Africa, Chile, Argentina) inferior to the complexity of the bouquets to the leaders of winemaking, but always high quality and the price is much lower.
Pay attention to the vessel. Most manufacturers trying to protect their clients from buying fakes, uses a brand name. It can be twisted to the neck of the bottle, some convex marks on the glass, which is quite difficult to forge.
The first stage is successfully passed, going home to evaluate the results.
Stage 2. Analysis of the content.
Uncorking the bottle, pay attention to traffic. Cheap wine cork base (glued) tubes, which are under the influence of the corkscrew just crumble. Pour in a glass of wine, filling only a third and shake the drink, inhale the aroma (weak and unpleasant – a sure sign of poor quality) and evaluate color saturation. What should concern: too pale in color for Reds and rosé wines and dark for whites, and excessive turbidity. It is not necessary to throw away the wine, if after tasting your front teeth are slightly stained. It is a sign of the naturalness of the product, grape skins is one of the strongest dyes. Take a small SIP. Of course, you are unlikely to determine which Bank of the grapes gave this wine, but to identify low grade definitely will. A good drink will be a real delight for the receptor: no superfluous acid, flavor seasoning glutamate, vinegar and discomfort in the stomach.
When choosing a beverage, don’t forget about the point of sale. The purchase must be made or in specialized boutiques, online stores or large supermarkets, where you will come qualified.
