Stereotypes about wine

Not everyone of us can boast the ability to choose the right wine, and the store often governed by “common rules”: a good wine is necessarily expensive, to meat – red, female – sweet. But as it turned out, such a dogma is wrong. Let’s get rid of them.

High price is the sign of a good drink.

This is not always the case. Prices of light young wines can be very affordable, while the quality of the product is excellent. Also do not forget that virtually every manufacturer can offer budget options. But in this case we recommend you to select wines from South Africa, Argentina or Chile.

Monosortovye wine is the best.

It is not necessary to be so categorical. Indeed, there are wine regions that produce wine exclusively monosortovye, and whose products are in demand with connoisseurs and collectors. But it does not say anything about their leader, because a good wine – the correct balance of flavors. And if the manufacturer was able to combine several grape varieties, highlighting the advantages of each varieties, this wine deserves to be on your Desk.

Cork – as a sign of quality?

There is a perception that a spiral tube is used only unscrupulous manufacturers dispensed drink in a nearby garage. It’s wrong. Today, the spiral tubes are widely used by famous wine producers (for example, luxury new Zealand wine).

The sediment may only be a base wine.

During aging of the wine can form a small residue giving natural ingredients (grape tannin). Sediment is an indicator of the naturalness of wine, and that the production was not applied filtering.

The older, the better.

Not every wine can keep for decades. For example, the young wine is simply impossible to drink after 3 years of storage, although “fresh” they had a bright flavor and aroma. If you want to buy wine for storage, it is recommended to seek the assistance of consultants.

For fish white wine, to meat – red.

It’s just imaginary boundaries that do not allow to experiment with wine and find your perfect combination. There are red wines that perfectly accentuate the taste of fish and white varieties, suitable to the meat. Be guided by your taste.

Women’s and men’s drinks

There is no separation of wines, suitable only to women or men. It is only your choice. You should not “throw stones” women who love tart and rich wine, and men prefer lighter drinks.
