Wine is a drink that has kept drawing my interest towards it since I was a kid. I took first sip of wine when I was 14 and I was my uncle who gave the glass of the wine to me for the first time. Not knowing what I have tasted I remember me making funny face and I also remember my uncle saying that one must sip wine like they are tasting the most beautiful liquid on earth. Now after years I agree with him. No one can perfectly tell you how to buy a good bottle of wine in an article so today in this buying guide I am going to share some buying tips that I collected from the web, which are really useful.
Knowing the basics of wine types, selections, storage and tasting will add new dimensions to your wine experience. A perfect way of choosing the right wine to suit both your budget and your tastes is a great skill. There are several factors to consider when selecting a bottle of wine: price, preference and pairing. Once you settle on your price range, your style and taste preferences will play a key role in directing your decision. If you are buying a wine to pair with a specific meal, be sure to ask your local wine merchant a couple of questions. Question like where it was made? Categories and the grape names the wine was made of and importantly what year the wine was made. Older the wine more it gets better. You must have heard that the few decade old wines are fabulous and cost much more than regular wine.
Wines are made all over the world and each place has a specialty. I remember my friend giving me a fabulous bottle of wine made of mountain apples that came from a country named Nepal. It was wonderful. France and Italy are the biggest manufacturer and exporter of grape wine. Their wines are considered as the best grape wine and if you are a novice than you can start with a French or Italian wine. But if you aren't ready to commit to a certain wine, starting wine tastings is a good idea. There are loads Wine cellars and restaurants that will allow you to sample some of their wine as well. There Restaurants that sell wine bottle by bottle or glass by the glass, so you can taste different kind of wine with just few dollars per glass. Giving advice is free so you might hear plenty of advices about what kind of wines might be better for you and what the best from different people are but it only you who can taste and decide what kind of wine will go after in the end.
