It’s challenging picking a wine off of a store shelf without knowing much about it. Well, determining what other tastes you like can help you determine which might suit your palate. So, here’s a quick guide on how to find the perfect wine.
Pick White or Rose If You’re New to Wine
A study showed that more people found white or rose wine to their liking when they tried wine for the first time. These wines tend to be lighter, so they are a safer bet.
Let Your Favourite Flavours Guide You
Your taste preferences may help you determine what type of wine you may enjoy. Pick a sweet wine if you like apple juice and a dry wine if you like grapefruit juice. So, if you like bitter black coffee, you may enjoy an acidic wine. Take this quiz for better guidance.
Consider the Occasion
Wine can serve an occasion differently, so keep that in mind too. Here are some things to keep in mind.
- Get a wine that’s moderate in terms of body, acidity, and sweetness when you want to please a crowd
- White wines pair well with lighter dishes like fish and chicken and red wine with heavier ones like lamb and beef
- Pick a relatively cheaper bottle when you’re mixing it
Read the Label
The wine bottle you choose should have detailed information on the type of grape, the name of the winery, where the grapes grew, the alcohol percentage, and the vintage.
