I. Type of country
Wine styles can be divided into two categories, the new world and the old world. The brewing techniques and tastes of the two worlds are different. When choosing wine, you can choose a world-class national type first!
New World Brewing Countries: Chile, Australia, New Zealand, USA, etc. This new world type of wine has soft tannins and rich fruit aroma. The price will not be very high, and it is more in line with the tastes of Chinese people, suitable for new scholars who taste wine for the first time;
Old world wine-making countries: France, Italy, Spain and Germany. These old world wine brewing process traditions have heavy tannins and are expensive. In terms of taste, people who don't drink red wine can't accept it.
Second, sweet type
Red wine can be divided into dry type, semi-dry type, semi-sweet type and sweet type according to sweetness.
1, dry type: slightly acidic, without sweetness.
2, semi-dry type: a little sweet, but not very obvious.
3. Semi-sweet type: balanced sweet and sour, with obvious sweet taste at the entrance.
4. Sweet type: sweet with a little acid and obvious sweetness.
Those who prefer sour taste can choose dry red or semi-dry red wine, and those who prefer sweet taste can choose semi-sweet and semi-sweet red wine or white wine and pink wine.
Third, demand.
Buying wine generally has the following needs: drinking/catering/giving gifts, etc. Choose different wine types according to different needs, such as
1, if you drink it yourself, you can buy it according to your own taste;
If you give a gift, you need to consider the age, taste and preference of the recipient, as well as the packaging and price of the product.
3. If it is used to accompany a meal or a meal, you can look at the type of meal, such as Chinese food or western food. Different grape varieties and wines are suitable for different catering types, such as catering according to wine types:
Red wine: beef, mutton, duck and ham (suitable with red meat)
White wine: seafood, chicken, pork, ham, cheese, risotto and vegetables.
Pink wine: It has a light taste and is suitable for most dishes. When a table of people orders different dishes, it's hard to know. You can order a bottle of pink wine to share.
Champagne and sparkling wine: similar to pink wine, it can be used with most dishes.
When buying wine, you must first make clear one of your needs with the shopping guide, and then let him guide you on the wine you need.
Through the above three choices to choose the wine type, I believe that friends can choose the wine (red wine) type that suits them.
