How to choose a good wine in a label store - 10 rules

It is not necessary to be a sommelier to learn to buy a decent drink, and not a borde, after which the terrible aftertaste remains, and the future is at least dizziness, as a maximum - the body disorder.

Ten rules, how to choose a good wine in the store, will help to avoid this:

1. Clearly separate the sweet and dry varieties. For the production of popular semi-sweet beverages use wine materials of the lowest quality. They add a lot of preservatives, chemical components. The abroad does not exist at all.
2. Information about the manufacturer. The main thing is the availability of the name, information about the manufacturer, if there is no, it is better to immediately return the bottle on the shelf. On the front side of the right beverages you can always read the name of the brand large font.
3. A business card also serves the production region. The absence of such, indicates the baseness of products.
4. Grape sort. Only very expensive wines that you can not buy in the usual outlet, make the grapes from one variety. First-class drinks inexpensive and average costs produced by batting, i.e. mixing several varieties of berries. If 100% of the same name is indicated on the label, you can not doubt the fake.
5. Harvest time. In the marking of high-quality alcohol, the yield of grape crop must be indicated. Such information will not find on a diluted concentrate, a chemical analogue.
6. Term and place of exposure. The barrel is considered an ideal storage location, they are stored only high stamp stamps. Share "by age":

• vintage, make out of good air berries, with a volume of 3-7 years old, from 6 years is considered a collective view;
• the ordinary comes on sale with an excerpt from 4 months to 1 year.

1. A description of the advantages, originality, which add a positive image to the brand.
2. Product cost. You cannot be attributed to guilt, the rule that can be paid not for quality, but for the brand. Inexpensive drink can not be natural and tasty, too much work in it is invested.
3. Packaging. Cardboard packaging is a "friend" cheap chemical concentrate. If you pour a noble drink into it, he will surely lose its advantages. After all, only glass bottles or tree barrels are capable of preserving, saturation of taste.
4. Original container, for example, ceramic or decorative, have a negative impact on storing wine, or hides the fake.

This is South Bessarabia, Transcarpathia, Southern Areas. The best trademarks, taste and aromatic advantages, which are quite a decent level:

• "Shabo";
• Agrofirm "Belozersky";
• "French Boulevard" (specializes in sparkling views).

Soil-climatic factors allow to obtain berries with balanced acidity and sweetness. But still imports prevailing in the Ukrainian market.

Georgia

There are about 4 thousand grape varieties in the world, over 500 grows in Georgia. With Soviet times, it supplied 80% of all Vintage Wine republics. Now, demand is not reduced in them, the drink is impeccable. Perhaps this is due to the special Kakhetian wine production technology.

The cone-shaped huge jugs, the Quivery, be buried in the ground, then withstand the berries at 14 ° C, squeeze the juice with their legs. There is a mechanical release, mass production, but as a result of this method, full, extractive with soft tartness characteristics are obtained. By the distinctive features of Georgian marks, a long and pleasant aftertaste can be attributed, harmony of fragrances. Top varieties:

Moldova

Moldavian alcohol is attributed to the refinement, the ease of taste. Drinks from the code, central regions of the republic are saturated with shades of wildflowers, the aromas of violets are traced. In this country, wine prefer to do not only in the fermentation of grape berries, but also apple juice.

Collectible bottles may have peculiar acid to reduce its level, you need to open the container in advance and give "Raise" the guilt. Not inferior by the characteristics of foreign products, it has a smaller value. Among popular:

Italy

Gourmet will agree that the definition of "good" does not apply to French and Italian wines. They are ideal, even those that have an average or democratic value. A distinctive feature is a balance of savory, colors, aroma, aftertaste.

The climatic conditions of the Apennine Peninsula contribute to the development of culture. Under the Italian sun, the warm rain of the berries are gained by a full-fledged juice, as a result of fermentation of which Divine Drink is obtained. Although the Italians are not so easy to break through the Italians because of competition with neighbors. Production has a step classification:

1. elite;
2. category DOC (by regions, compatibility of sugar and alcohol);
3. IgT (worse taste);
4. dining rooms, from prefabricated varieties.

• "Dolchetto";
• "Malvasia Nehra";
• "AMARONE";
• Lagrein and many others.

If the wine is inexpensive, it does not mean at all that it is tasteful. We will try to figure out how to choose a tasty wine in the available price category. (Of course, it will be not talking about "bullies" for 100 rubles.)

For many, the purchase of wine in the restaurant becomes a whole test. What to talk about the independent choice of wine in the store, where the view is presented by several racks of all kinds of bottles of different price categories. The case is complicated even more if this wine is intended for important guests or celebration of events. Choosing feels responsible for the taste and the quality of what is poured into a bottle.

Why do we feel suppressed and think that everyone will be convicted of choice, especially if we buy inexpensive wine? You can answer: "Well, because wine makers know about the quality of their product and will not sell cheap something really worthwhile."

But the wine on the store shelves can get in different ways! No one is insured against the purchase of fakes. Yes, it is necessary to be attentive when choosing wine, but to make this right choice forces to everyone. By the way, one of the moments: buying wine should be without excessive tension and suspicion. This is not an exam, here much depends on the case.

How to choose and buy wine

How to choose wine? Looking through multi-page wine maps in a restaurant or throwing a look at the ranks of bottles in the store, you can fall into despair. And if all this budget is limited - you can smell your hand, choose the first bottle with a pretty little animal on the label and escape away.

But in fact, armed with some knowledge, you can buy or order wine as a pros!

First, you must decide what is "cheap and angry" for you. Range will be taken here from 300 to 500 rubles.

Secondly, it must be admitted that an excise stamp is not confirmed by the taste of wine. As a plastic cork or twisting cap - not a sign of wine. Just wine is a kind of tradition, a cork plug is part of the tradition. But some manufacturers retreat from it. For example, some winemakers of New Zealand and Australia were the first to use metal twisting caps and not in vain: they reliably protect the wine. Such caps can be found on bottles and for 300 rubles, and for 1200 rubles.

Fundamental rules

Wines of some countries, wine-making regions, species and varieties of grapes are sold cheaper analogues. For example, Vinho Verde (Verde) From Portugal - beautiful white wine with a tart fruit taste and small bubbles. It is ideal for summer picnics and quiet family evenings on the veranda of giving. And it can be used even less than 300 rubles.

Italy also produces several good range of range from 300 to 500 rubles. Take at least Primitivo., Sanjovesee (Sangiovese) and Merlot (Merlot).

Avoid wines that require long "maturation": for example, Cabernet Sauvignon (Cabernet Sauvignon), Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir), Barolo (Barolo) or Amarone (Amarone). These wines should not be cheap. If they are inexpensive, then this is a fake (or bad wine) or are not ready for consumption.

Choose from wines that have a good taste when they are "fresh." These include Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc), Most. Rieslings and some others.

How to buy wine in a restaurant

Now there are few restaurants where homemade wine is offered. Most often in wine maps - a list of bottle fault. If you often go to a certain restaurant and the range of wines there is large there, each time you order a new name. This is a great way to find out to determine the sympathies and antipathies. Remember the taste of wine, as it combines with various dishes, as it smells, liked / did not like it.

Make your list of preferences and ask the waiter to advise / recommend something suitable. In some restaurants (at least abroad), pre-tasting is even practiced.

Dispel the myth of wines

Dragged the rule: red wine - with meat and white wine - with fish and bird? This rule was observed when French wines were submitted to dinner or dinner. Now it is no longer working - our tastes and food changed so much. Asian, Indian, Mediterranean flows have penetrated our kitchen, which changes the "rules" and for wines. What is guided when buying wine to one or another main dish?

Here is a simple rule: asian products are often well combined with invigorating, acid white wines. These wines of good quality can be bought for a fairly moderate price. Red wines are suitable for greasy red meat with a pronounced, rich taste. Red wine can be chosen from produced in Australia, Spain, Portugal, Italy - are also suitable in quality, and for money.

Even good champagne can be affordable. This question is especially relevant on the eve of the upcoming New Year. Want to see sparkling wine on the festive table, whose purchase will not hit the pocket? Then look for Cremant. from France, Asti (Asti) and ProSecco (Proskko) From Italy I. Cava (Kava) from Spain. The bottles of this wine can be found 500 rubles (600-700 - more likely).

Have a good choice!

It is difficult to choose a decent wine, without understanding anything in it. Some use the rule "the more expensive, the better." But even at a high price, the drink may be low quality. If you are just going to know the culture of wine, then start with inexpensive products. Several tips will help you choose a good drink.
In the USSR wine culture did not exist. The drink was considered dessert, and therefore was sweet. And it was different in color only. Red wine or white - a dilemma of the Soviet man. To taste it was the same.

Although today even budget stamps are quite decent. Wine for daily consumption should not be expensive at all. For an ordinary dinner, you can take a bottle at a modest price. But it is important to choose the right wine. After all, a cheap drink can be not only tasteless, but also harmful to health.

Sommelier recommended those who are afraid to dehydrated the body to heat it with non-carbonated water. The amount of water should be the same as the amount of wine. And if you drink a daytime rate of water (1.5-2 liters), then dehydration does not threaten at all.

Red wine enjoys greater popularity than White: True
According to statistics, more than 65% of respondents will prefer red wine white. It is difficult to say that it served as the advantage of the scales in favor of red. Many love the saturation of red wine, and not white suicide notes. Someone considers white not the main drink.

In the USSR wine culture did not exist. The drink was considered dessert, and therefore was sweet. And it was different in color only. Red wine or white - a dilemma of the Soviet man. To taste it was the same.

But the time passed, the range of wines was expanded, more and more people became interested in what they had in a glass. And a stereotype appeared: only an expensive drink may be tasty and fragrant. Although today even budget stamps are quite decent.

Wine for daily consumption should not be expensive at all. For an ordinary dinner, you can take a bottle at a modest price. But it is important to choose the right wine. After all, a cheap drink can be not only tasteless, but also harmful to health. And then you will be lucky if you wake up just with a headache in the morning. Worse, if you get strongest poisoning. But do not think that all the wine at an affordable price is low-quality. Among budget options are full of bottles with an excellent drink. It remains to learn them to find.

1. Purchase within 300-600 rubles. Wine is cheaper than 300, unfortunately, can not be attributed to high-quality products. But the drinks will be more appropriate at home dinner or on a friendly party. You will receive pleasure from them, but do not expect more. The multifaceted taste, alas, you will not be able to feel.

2. Select a bottle on which the shadow falls. Budget alcohol is not stored in the wine cellars, it is located on the shelves in the trading floor. And often bottles "sunk" right under powerful store lamps. Therefore, before buying, make sure that the container is cold. If it is hot, then inside the product "boils", losing all its taste and properties. Do not be lazy to climb deep down the stand and take a bottle to which the light of sofita does not fall.

3. Do not buy on sales. Huge discounts attract, but do not share. Miser pays twice. Look at the bottle if they have an external defect (the label has suffered, there is dirt or splashes on the bottle), then the price is reduced because of this. You can take it.

If the packaging does not have drawbacks, it should be molded. Surely the product itself is spoiled.

4. Choose a young wine.The rule "the older, the better" with budget drinks does not work. If you see "mature" wine worth up to 600 rubles, then it is most likely the proceed. Just this bottle or batch did not sell on time. Such a product, of course, do not choose, but the taste clearly does not like it. Therefore, prefer young guilt.

5 .Focus on white wine.The technology of manufacturing such a beverage is simpler. Yes, and the cost below. Chances of choosing inexpensive good wine among whites is higher than among red varieties.

6. Look at geography. European drinks will cost more, because France, Spain, Italy, Greece, etc. Winemakers were engaged in antiquity and succeeded in this area. Products of new light (Chile, Argentina, America) has more democratic prices. In these countries, the vineyards appeared relatively recently, which allows not to overestimate the cost of drinks so far. Wines and those and others will be delicious, but if you want to save even more, then you should give preference to drinks from the new light.

7. Do not sharpen attention on the traffic jam.It is the opinion that quality wine can only have a natural traffic jam. However, even expensive products today are found with silicone or screwing capsule. This is just the choice of the manufacturer.

8. Do not look at grape variety. The taste of drink more depends on the manufacturing technology: harvesting dates, fermentation temperatures, sugar levels. Do not focus on grade, study other factors. Good inexpensive wine - young: last year or 2 years ago. Please note that "Natural Wine" should be indicated on the label. If this is not, then the drink is synthetic.

9. Forget about sweet. You may be surprised, but anywhere in the world does not use semi-sweet or sweet wine. There are, of course, dessert varieties, but they are not in demand. Saturated and rich taste only in dry wines.

10.Drill with the place of manufacture.Pay attention to where the wine is not only manufactured, but also disengaged. It is better to choose what happened without intermediaries. When the manufacturer independently is responsible for the quality of the product, it is unprofitable to reduce the bar and spoil reputation. But the intermediaries sin so that they dilute the wine to reduce costs.

As you understand, when choosing wine, you need to carefully examine its label. To please yourself and loved ones inexpensive and tasty drink, buy a young (1-2 year old) product, made and packed in one place, preferably brought from a new light. And let it be a cold bottle of white dry wine.

As for Caberne-Sauvignon - this sample is an absolute leader among Cabernet-Sauvignon coexpensive price / quality.

3. Rapido Red Sanjovese 2009 | Rapido Red Sangiovese 2009

Italy
Approximate price: 407 RUR | 10 EUR | 100 UAH

Dense, but not very saturated. Light mustard in the aftertaste. In general, I love wines from Italy very much, and we belong to them are not indifferent.

4. Rocca Alat Valpolichella Superior 2009 (manufacturer: Cantina di Soave) | Rocca Alita Valpolicella Superiore 2009

Italy
Approximate price: 395 RUR | 10 EUR | 100 UAH

This wine was a real discovery for me. Get such an excellent Valpolichell for that kind of money is just a gift. Today, by the way, after the "photo session" in the store I bought several bottles home. One of them was this wine.
Wine lightweight, but not watery. Such high acidity, but this acidity is correct. In aromatics: undergrowth, dried cherry. My choice!

5. Undurraga Sibaris Pino Noir 2010 and Sibaris Carmenier 2008 | Undurraga Sibaris Pinot Noir 2010 | Sibaris Carmenere 2008.

Chile
Approximate price: 535 RUR | 13 EUR | 130 UAH

Pinot Noir is very similar to the classic French Pinot Noir in this price category.
This carmine was recognized as the best karminer chili in this price category. CarMiner - my choice!

Do not judge about the fault by the label

Labels differ in different countries. For example, French style is a very simple label, usually white, very modest. And manufacturers of new light (Argentina, Chile, New Zealand) to attract attention, often make labels bright. Allocated against the background of more modest European "comrades", as well as on the background of each other - a marketing stroke.

As related price and quality

How to choose white dry wine

White wines should drink "young." If it is a wine over three years, sold on the action, suspicions arise, whether it is qualitatively. It is better to buy the wine of the same year of the harvest or 2 years older.

Of course, there are white wines that lie for many years, but they will most likely stand not on the general shelf of the supermarket, but to be sold in a special department, for a fairly high price.

How to choose pink wine

Pink wine lives one year. If very good, then 2-3 years. This is due to the fact that the wine must keep freshness, and the rose wine in two years is losing this freshness.

This happens because there are few tannic substances contained in the treasure of grapes in the rose, because it is not long kept on the skins of grapes to keep the beautiful pink shade.

How to choose a red dry wine

Price: from 500-700 rubles;
Age of wine: 25 years;

Red can choose a few years older than white. Some grape varieties, for example, Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraza takes time to develop in a bottle. Due to the tanning substances contained in the peel of grapes, the wine lives longer, but in his youth can be too tart.

Sweet wine: what are the risks when use it

What should be a traffic jam?

Cork Cork - to some extent it is considered a sign of elimination. Cora is removed from the cork tree, then dried. Cork plugs are made both from solid bark and from crumbs. The plugs of this type have its shortcomings are very expensive, moreover, they are treated with chlorine, sometimes not quite high quality. In the future, this chlorine can be connected with wine and cause an unpleasant odor.

Should I refuse to buy wine, if there is a sediment at the bottom of the bottle?

Taste and smell

Many restaurants can boast the elite collection of expensive wine. After all, it is so nice to drink a glass of rare good wine under meat snack, a Greek salad or just for a good evening. Let's consider the rating of the best wines of the world.

The best wines of the world

It is no secret that far from every wine is a masterpiece of winemaking. The quality of wine products may differ in a very wide range. But some wines are a real standard in its category, a sample with which the sommelier compare all the remaining wine products. So, the top three wines of the world.

Penfolds Grandge.

Continuing the rating of no less famous Red Penfolds Greyjang. A rich and deep taste makes it possible to feel the connoisseur light notes of quince, olives, diluted with chocolate, cocoa. After use, you can feel a long aftertaste, which will fully transfer a luxurious bouquet.

Penfolds 2006 GRANGE.

The fragrance is characterized by thin and elegant chocolate jetings, black currant. Supplement serves spices - carnations, cedar chips. You can have a sip of wine with meat dishes, cheeses, vegetables. True gourmet will appreciate the luxurious combination of the fragrant bouquet.

The history of the manufacture of Penfolds Greyndzh begins with 1993 in Australia. Development began with the aim of demonstrating the beautiful taste of Cabernet's grapes. Since then, wine is known all over the world as one of the best in the world.

Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the best wines of modern times - Cabernet Sauvignon fell into the red wines rating. This brand is Bordeaux's wines, Italian Tuscan and Spanish spira. Each of them has its own unsurpassed taste and aroma, which is highly valued by gourmets.

No matter how strangely sounded, but Kabernet's wines are perfectly combined with fatty products, hamburger and pizza. The thing is that the use of wine in a pair with chocolate will destroy his bouquet of aroma. But the ribs from the fire, the barractions Steak or Beefstrod will become excellent beverage satellites.

The aroma wears berry shades: cherry, currants. As a supplement you can feel black pepper, vanilla and even tobacco. The taste of wine depends on the place of cultivation of grapes. For example, Cabernet from Bordeaux has a herbal-flower flavor. His taste is pronounced and reminds mature cherry. The best wines are those who are produced from the 2005 and 2009 harvest.

A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon will be an excellent gift for the anniversary of the business partner, a friend. However, the price of wine is high enough, since the grape ton costs the manufacturer at $ 6000.

Vega Sicilio Unico

And the rating of red dry wines continues the Spanish exclusive Wine Vega Sicilio Unico. A saturated ruby \u200b\u200bcolor gives a drink special wealth and nobility. The taste of wine has a bright raspberry orientation, combined with mint and balsamine. The fragrance bouquet is saturated with incense and blackberry, diluted with a truffle. The drink is combined with meat delicacies, cheeses.

Vega Sicilia Unico 1974

The history of wine begins in 1915 in Spain. Exclusive drinks were produced by aristocrats, who appreciated the harvest of this year. The owners of the winery are constantly improving production technology for a deeper and rich taste.

Vega Sicily is impregnated with Spanish traditions, elegance, grace. Long-term storage in the bottle only improves the taste and fortress of the product without disturbing its original appearance. Buying such wine is a profitable cash investment. Vega Sicilio UNIC is rightfully worthy of rating the best red dry wines.

Choose really good and high-quality wine is very difficult. Showcases in the supermarket are filled with beautiful bottles with non-standard names, and prices can be both very low and overestimated. The overwhelming majority of our citizens know about the fault only that it is red, white, sweet, semi-sweet and dry. It is believed that only professionals (sommelier) can correctly determine the quality of wine, and this is not a simple man in strength. In fact, wine is the usual product with simple characteristics, to understand the value of which each can.

Red wine: characteristics

Usually, red wine is classified according to several criteria: ratios of the amount of sugar and alcohol, as well as a method of manufacturing a drink.

In the first case, the wine can be divided into:

• Cutlery. There are dry, semishers and semi-sweet.
• Fastened. There are strong, sweet, dessert, liqueur.
• Aromatized.
• Sparkling. This can be attributed to such wines as rut \u200b\u200band champagne.

By the way of manufacturing wine, a classification is somewhat different:

• Varietal. Such wines are made only from the selected grapes of a certain variety.
• Separate. Drinks in this category are mixed from several grape varieties.
• Bathing. Mixing happens already ready-made wine, not grapes, as in the previous case.

Also, wines differ in the extract of finished products:

• Single wines are very common in trade and are a budget option. Such bottles have not been maintained for a long time and usually go on sale next year from vintage.
• Vintage wines are characterized by longer exposure (at least eighteen months). In addition, each drink of such a category has its own manufacturing technology than, in fact, every vintage wine is different.
• Collectible wines are a derivative of the vintage, which weathered in a bottle of at least three years. For connoisseurs, it is considered the right age of a collection drink about ten and fifteen years.

Wine selection in the store

While buying wine, you need to focus on the signs of quality:

• Wine must be either sweet or dry. The advantage of dry wine is that it does not contain sugar. And the lack of sweet wine in conservation, and there is a conservation due to the presence of sugar. All this makes it difficult to recycle drinking beverage. Dry and sweet wine does not pass additional sulfatization, which strongly affects the state of human health, which used wine. In all countries, semi-sweet wine is prohibited, because it is very harmful, but for Russia, of course, it is available. It makes it from poor-quality raw materials, it is easier to say - from waste.
• Indication of the year harvest. If the label is not written a year harvest - this means that the wine is unnatural and most likely - a chemical or concentrated.

• Grape varieties on the label. Like every bottle they write the same thing - "made of the best grapes" or "made of fresh and useful grapes", but why do not the grape variety? Maybe the fact is that not the best raw material is used? If you do not write grade, try to focus from fault reviews. Of course, if the legislation does not allow specifying the varieties, no one will do this, for example - French wines do not write the composition, because it is impossible to do this. But terrible wines are manufactured in France, which also do not indicate the composition, but sell them in other countries. Therefore, try to choose wine with informative composition, in which grape variety is indicated.
• An indication of the exposure time (in a bottle and barrel). Low quality wine is never stored in barrels, although the oak can smooth out some problems, the cost of such storage does not pay off. It is much easier to sharpen as follows - to fill the drink into a plastic container of 10 tons and send to Russia. We will "process it" and "improve" with the help of dyes and sugar, and then they will even sell. Remember that we are withstanding in barrels only the highest quality wine that pays for excerpts.

• Bottle price! Good wine can not be cheap. Do not believe to someone who tells that a natural product can cost 100 rubles. In Europe, it is impossible to find high-quality wine cheaper than seven euro per bottle. Inexpensive alcohol is manufactured, at best, from waste. Often it contains additives that enhance taste, dyes, preservatives. Such an alcoholic drink can cause:

1. severe allergies;
2. poisoning
3. stomach disorders.

• What will tell the label! The label will help the label correctly. On it, the manufacturer necessarily indicates the following information:

1. harvest year;
2. manufacturer;
3. exposure time;
4. alcohol content.

It is worth passing by the bottle if its label contains poetic phrases of the species: "Wine from the best varieties", "Wine from the selected grapes". Such a alcoholic beverage is produced from wine waste.

Countries Wine manufacturers

France - first place in global winemaking

And indeed, this country has long and firmly occupied the leading position in the work of wine. Every year there is about a quarter of the global volume of this alcoholic beverage, which in large quantities goes to export. But such volumes are not at all designate the quality of each bottle, especially for those countries whose residents have little dismantled in high-quality fault. So let's figure it out how to choose a red dry wine from France to not be mistaken.

Label on french wines

• On the wines of the best quality, the label is quite modest.
• High-class drinks are marked with Appellation words (wine community) or Chateau (lock) with the title.
• The best wines of French production have the word "control" or the classification of Grand CRU.

Types of French alcoholic beverages

The most famous are burgundy (they are much more expensive and are considered more prestigious) and Burgundy.

Best Bordeaux Wines

• Chateau Latour;
• Chateau Lafite Rotschild;
• Chateau Haut Brion;
• Chateau Mouton Rotschild;
• Chateau Margaux.

The best wines of Burgundy

• Ramonet;
• Leroy.

Wine Italy

In this country, a little less wine is produced than in France. The most common type of this drink is Chianti. If you choose the correct manufacturer, then such a dry red wine may well become frequent on your desk, conquering its extraordinary taste. The best brand is the CHIANTI Classico. On the label of this wine, you can find a high quality mark by D.O.c.g., which is a guarantee of authenticity. Also on the present Chianti can be found in the emblem - black rooster. Drink Chianti young, but if you stand it about 27 months, then the taste will be much better. Such a drink has an additional name Riserva and its price three or four times higher than the classics. It should be noted that the supply of these two types of wines is different. If the young wine is served to the table chilled to a temperature of 16-18 degrees in medium glasses, then riserva drink at room temperature in large boned glasses.

Ukraine

In Ukraine, more than 300 thousand tons of grapes are collected for the year, therefore, about 15 million wine decaliters produce. What is the strangest - wines produce much more than it should be. It is for this reason that people do not trust the Ukrainian guilt, everyone has the idea of \u200b\u200bdiluting wine with plenty of water or adding chemicals. Almost all Ukrainian semi-dry wines have chemical impurities in the composition. Not grape alcohol add to wine, but ethyl, and then we sweat with standard sugar. Of course, it is difficult to prove it without carrying out an examination, but you can just look at the cost of Ukrainian wine. But in Ukraine, as well as in Russia, they give a poor-quality product for high-quality. To earn a lot of money on trusting people. But it is possible that the Ukrainian wine is high-quality, for example - dry. Although most restaurants do not include Ukrainian wine in the menu, and openly say that their wine is low-quality, and dry wine is made of spoiled raw materials. Before you buy Ukrainian wine, look at the address of the manufacturer, if it is indicated that grapes are growing under Kiev, most likely wine is poor quality. But now Ukraine is trying to correct situations, technology is improved, and the number of vineyards is growing. But why buy wine from a dubious manufacturer when there are manufacturers who have proven themselves in the market?

Moldova and Georgia

In any store you will meet wine from Georgia and Moldova, but for some inexplicable reasons, people think that these are very high-quality wines with a low price. Of course, the cost of such wines is the main advantage, because it is much lower than that of Ukrainian manufacturers. Most wines from these countries are semi-sweet and dry. The choice of wine depends on your preferences, if you need light wine, buy Moldovan, if a strong is Georgian. Wines from Georgian and Moldovan varieties of grapes are manufactured, and therefore their taste is significantly different from European wines. Specialists argue that the data of wine have dubious quality, that is, wine can be, both quality and not very. But often high-quality Georgian and Moldovan wines can be found in the restaurant menu. How to choose high-quality wine from these manufacturers? This is a very difficult question, because store shelves are filled with different wines, both cheap and incredibly expensive. You need to repel from feedback familiar who have already tried several wines from these manufacturers. Do not forget that it is impossible to buy wine in a ceramic bottle, despite the wonderful appearance of the bottle and labels. During silence, the wine is strongly overheated, and this affects quality, and - very negative.

Hungary

Hungary lost a lot when she tried to get used to the taste of various wines from other manufacturers. Any Hungarian wine has a spicy taste, even white and amber-golden. Wine is distinguished from Hungary an incredibly rich taste that is able to satisfy any person. Ideal fits spicy wine under sharp and oily food. Tokay is the most tasty and high-quality Hungarian wine, you can be sure of its capacity by 100%.

Germany

At the moment it is believed that in Germany, the best white wines are manufactured. Their taste is distinguished by saturation and refinement. Wines are so high-quality that dozens of years can be stored and not to deteriorate. But red wines from Germany are not distinguished by high quality. The fact is that grape farms are very small, and large are under the control of the church. Germany does not focus on wines, so imports above exports are approximately 5 times.

Important little things

When choosing wine, you need to pay attention to what the container it is disengaged. Give preference to glass bottles. This is the most eco-friendly storage method, and the guarantee of the quality of wine. Look at the appearance of the label, it cannot be non-accurate, with the traces of glue. When opening the bottle, it is important to look at the plug - it should be clean, dry, not dried, without visible marks of wine. Sommelier, opening the bottle, also sniffs the plug. Any unpleasant smell means a poor-quality product or improper storage of the bottle. Today, plastic traffic jams are allowed and for good wine, winemaking technology is also not in place. Choosing a drink, pay attention to the sugar content. Good wine - either sweet, or dry. Semi-sweet wines most often low-grade, made from waste. Knowing the basics of wine selection, you can further focus on your own taste, financial capabilities and format of the upcoming event. Someone prefers dry wines, someone - fastened. For fish, seafood and white meat - white wine. For a steak - red.

But this is no longer a dogma, many famous winemakers and sommelier are trying to reveal the tastes of wines with radically opposing dishes. If you are going to visit and do not know the upcoming topic in the menu, it is better to capture two types of wine. Just in case. What specifically good wine from the presented manifolds you will choose not so important. The main understanding of the fact that wine is a sophisticated drink, which will only add pleasure from a pleasant company, meaningful events, loved ones.
