A Beginners Guide To Wine Look For Wine Offers In Local Supermarkets

When faced with rows and rows of wine it can be rather confusing to say the least

you may not know which one to choose to complement a specific dish or know the differences between the types of wine. There is a wine to suit every single person and every palate. If you are planning to choose a wine to take along to a dinner party or a social occasion it may be a good idea to choose a classical wine such as a bottle or red Cabernet Sauvignon or white Pinot Grigio.

Wine comes in white, red and rose then you have sparkling rose and sparkling white. The wines are then broken down into type which are also the type of grapes used to make the wine and the region it is from. Wines range for 3.99 per bottle to 105,000 for the most expensive. The most expensive wine ever purchased was Bordeaux 1787 Chateau Laffite this wine was originally owned by a young entrepreneur named James Christie who had a salesroom he made his first big profit by selling a stock of wine from a deceased gentlemans house clearance. A considerable number of years later one of his wines went for the cool price of 105,000, wine can be a commodity and if you have insight a clever way to invest and make money.

True wine connoisseurs and collectors will pay a lot of money for a fine wine and the older the bottle is - the better. Some years particular wines are of a very high standard and wines produced in these years are worth more money this is because conditions at the time produced a particularly good grape.

Red wine comes in quite a few various grapes however some names you may recognise are Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Grenache, Muscat, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir.

White wine comes in a wide range of grape and from every corner of the world the names you might recognise most are chardonnay, Colombard, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.

The most popular type of fizzy wine is Champagne; it is also reasonably expensive for an average bottle. Champagne comes from the Champagne region of France. Cava is a fizzy wine from Spain; Asti is from Italy and Espumante from Portugal. Brut is sparkling wine that is very dry, the opposite of this is very sweet and that is doux. The sparkle can come from a carbon dioxide injection or by the fermentation process either in a bottle or in a big tank.

Wine above all other alcoholic drinks compliments food very well but which wine with which meal is the big question if you are new to wine drinking. Pizza for example has lots of cheese, tomato and garlic a red wine such as Merlot compliments pizza very well as it is fresh tasting and medium bodied. Grilled chicken with a herb sauce goes well with a Sauvignon Blanc. Steak goes well with Pinot Noir and fish suits Chardonnay.

There are so many foods and flavours to pair up with many wines from different regions and made from a wide range of grapes luckily there are some great websites where you can enter your meal and complimentary wine choices will come up. Supermarket wines often have a food suggestion on the back of the bottle perhaps start with the wine and plan the meal in line with the recommendations.
