For many people, wine is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Some people spend a fortune on purchasing fine wines and traveling to places where certain wines are made, and there are enough books on wine to fill many libraries. How do ordinary folks find a wine or wines that are good for them, whether they’ve been enjoying wine for years or are just starting their wine-tasting journey? Here are six tips for finding new types of wine.
1. What Do You Want the Wine For?
One way of choosing the right wine is to figure out what you want the wine for. Do you want it to sip in the evening after a hard day’s work, or use it as part of a cocktail such as a Pineapple Cooler? Are you planning to serve the wine with a meal? Do you want it to be enjoyed by friends and family at a party, or do you want the wine for a very special occasion such as a wedding?
2. Consider the Other Foods You Enjoy
Scientists have found a fascinating correlation between what types of wine a person enjoys and their favorite foods. For example, people who love apples tend to go for sweet whites, while people who like their coffee black tend to prefer wines from Europe.
