2. Look at the dishes. Choose white wine or red wine. In terms of matching dishes, creamy chicken is suitable for white wine, while roast mutton should be matched with mellow red wine. Red wine with red meat and white wine with white meat. Generally speaking, red wine is suitable for red meat, sauces, cheese and bacon products. While white wine prefers fish and vegetables.
3. Look at the price. There are dozens to hundreds of cheap wines, and thousands or even hundreds of thousands of expensive wines. The price of wine will change in different countries or different distribution channels. But in any case, the price is always related to the quality of grapes and the labor of the brewer. A good bottle of wine mainly reflects the hard work on the vines all year round, and all these costs are reflected in this bottle of wine. You can have a high-grade snack or business banquet. If you have a daily meal or treat at home, the taste is acceptable to everyone, and it is not necessary to be too high-grade. In short, after locking the money budget, it is convenient to choose, so as to avoid spending too much.
4. Look at the year. This is more suitable for the old world red wine, so after choosing French or Italian wine, you should choose a "good year", and the taste must be different. For example, French wine is priced by the sky, and the vintage of grapes is related to the amount of rain before the harvest of grapes in that year. If there is too much rain, the wine will be weak. For example, in 1991 and 1992, it rained continuously in Bordeaux. As a result, the grapes in these two years were not sweet enough, and the skin was thin. After brewing, the tannin content was obviously insufficient and the taste was poor. This is the reason why gourmets often compare and choose wine with the chronology.
5. Look at the place of origin and producing area. On the big side, let's first look at the wine from the new world or the wine from the old world. Old world wines in Europe generally taste more complicated and elegant, while new world wines taste more lively and pleasing. It is hard to say who is better, depending on personal taste preference; Then look at the producing areas. Every wine producing country has different producing areas, and their respective styles and quality are different. For example, Bordeaux and Burgundy in France are completely different styles.
6. Look at the category. For example, according to the sugar content in wine, it can be divided into four types: dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet. Dry wine can't feel sweetness when drinking, and its acidity is obvious; Semi-dry wine has a slightly sweet feeling when drinking; Semi-sweet wine has a sweet and refreshing feeling when drinking; Sweet wine has a slight sense of sweetness when drunk.
7. Look at the appearance. Most of the appearance of wine should be clear, transparent and shiny, and its color is consistent with the name of wine. Looking at red wine from the top of the glass on a white background, the turbidity is not good. Look at the speed at which the wine flows evenly from the glass wall. The slower it flows, the better the wine quality. Tilt the side of the glass at an angle of 45 degrees to observe a layer of water at the junction of red wine and the glass wall. The wider it is, the higher the alcohol content is. Different colors can appear at the junction of water body and wine body, showing the age of wine. Blue and lavender are 3 to 5 years old. Red bricks are 5 to 6 years old. Amber is 8 to 1 years. Orange means it has expired.
8. Look at the aroma and taste. It is not until the real entrance that you can feel the texture, taste and level of red wine. When high-quality red wine stays in the mouth, it should have a smooth feeling, slowly feel its mellow, and then the taste will be enriched; The aroma of wine will make you have a aftertaste, and it will not disperse in your mouth for a long time. At the same time, these aromas should be balanced, coordinated, elegant and pleasant. The taste of such wine should also be comfortable and pleasant, and all kinds of flavors are delicate.
