Below we will explain 10 simple steps and in a short time you will learn several things about wine.
How to know if a wine is good? This is a very common doubt and it must be said that one does not need to know much of wine to know that when drinking a good wine, the quality of wine as in any other food, is an evidence in plain view.
If when you drink or buy wine, you are curious or have any doubts, ask, is the best, and sometimes, only way to learn.
Do not always drink the same wines, dare to try different wines and, remember, your taste does not have to be the majority.
To appreciate all the nuances of a wine, what you have to do is to take a good drink, pass it through the mouth and suck it a little before swallowing it.
The mouth-screw closure is neither better nor worse than the mouth-cork closure. The thread is an alternative closure that is used in wines to avoid cork quality problems. In the Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom and New Zealand is the most common closure, from the cheapest, to 50 euros, including many Spanish wines.
Another quite common doubt is the time that I can keep an open bottle in perfect condition. In specialized stores you can get small inventions that prolong the life of the wine. Overall, my advice is do not save it much more than a day.
It is important to choose the type of cup well when it is time to taste. It is not a question of spending a fortune but, it is advisable to choose glasses or glasses that have depth and width in its base so that you can move the wine and release the aromas more easily.
The vast majority of the wines that we find in the market are young wines, and its vintage should coincide with a year before the current one. The countries of the southern hemisphere tend to go one year ahead of the north by the season difference. Some wines are made with the intention that they evolve and improve with time and can be the case of for example some German Riesling, Riojas and Burgundy.
The price of a wine is determined by three main factors; The cost of processing, the quantity available and the demand. Personally, I have never wanted the price to influence my opinion on a wine and I prefer to taste without knowing its cost. Most of the time, it is not the most expensive wine I like the most.
Do not be intimidated by the bombastic descriptions that are in some against labels, many are simply inspired by others, you have to try to reach your own conclusions.
