The quality of wine and Brewer's labor related. A good bottle of wine reflects first and foremost the hard work that people have put into the vines. For a slow drink by yourself or for a business banquet, you can use high-end wine. For daily meals or entertaining guests at home, just choose a taste that everyone can accept, and it doesn't have to be too expensive.

5. Look at the vintage

This is more suitable for old world red wine, so when you choose French or Italian wine, you must choose a "good vintage". Wines of different vintages The taste must be different too.

For example, French wine is priced based on the weather. For example, in 1991 and 1992, there were continuous rains in the Bordeaux region. As a result, the grapes in these two years were not sweet enough and had thin skins. After the wine was brewed, the tannin content was low. Obviously insufficient and tastes bad.

7. Look at the category

For example, wine can be divided into four types: dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and sweet according to the sugar content in the wine.

There is no sweetness when drinking dry wine, and the sourness is obvious;

There is a slight sweetness when drinking semi-dry wine;

There is a slight sweetness when drinking semi-sweet wine. Sweet and refreshing;

Sweet wine has a slightly sweet and intoxicating feeling when drinking it.

8. Look at the appearance

The appearance of most wines should be clear, transparent and shiny, and its color should match the name of the wine. Looking at red wine from directly above the glass on a white background, the cloudy taste is not good.

It depends on the speed at which the wine flows evenly down the wall of the cup. The slower the flow, the better the quality of the wine.

You can also tilt the wine glass 45 degrees to observe the layer of water at the junction between the red wine and the wall of the glass. The wider it is, the higher the alcohol content. The different colors that appear at the junction of the water body and the wine body represent different ages of the wine. Blue and lavender represent wine ages of 3 to 5 years. Red brick color is 5 to 6 years old, amber color is 8 to 10 years, and orange color means it has expired.
