The Ultimate Guidebook to Buying Quality Wine

When you walk into the aisles of the supermarket, you may get overwhelmed by looking at the shelves displaying white and red wines. You may end up spending on the bottle having either the enticing label or giving you discounts. If you think that buying premium quality wines means spending more, hit the brake. The wine world is ever changing with lots of them hitting the market daily. As such, picking the one that will meet your expectations is a daunting job. For your ease, we have shared some tricks enabling you to grab the right one. Go through it to know how to do that conveniently.

Don’t let the Screw Cap Flatter You

Sadly, screw cap wines from time immemorial have been marked as a low quality and cheap wine. Today, many winemakers regard screw cap wines as a cost and cork-saving option. As a result, you can expect that its quality has also improved by them. When it comes to sweet and white wines, vintners prefer to use it as it works as a better sealer as compared to the cork, reducing your chances of grabbing a bad bottle. However, screw caps are not good for red wines, especially when you are planning to keep it on your shelves for a long time. It’s because red wines need the slight airflow which only a cork can ensure.

Have enough time in your hand while choosing the food you’re going to serve with the wine. If the dishes are spicy, fruity and soft Chilean Reds can be a perfect match. Similarly, keep a Rioja bottle if lamb is what you have planned in dinner.

Chicken is outstanding for light-styled Pinot Noir. Buy Canadian wine to enjoy it with steak as the side dish.

Avoid Buying

Try to stay away from the lucrative deals like ‘Buy 1 and Get 1 Free’, and etc. It’s better to skip such a deal that is being offered by your local liquor store. Experts suggest so because in their opinions the extra wine bottles coming at the price of the one are the surplus bottles that they want to clear from their stores. That being said, you are likely to get a low quality wine if you get attracted by the offer.
