How Do You Choose Your Favourite Wine?
It’s strange how different we all are when we choose our wine.
Some people are such wine snobs and know exactly what they are looking for and certainly won’t settle for anything less. They don’t flinch at the price of the bottle, even if it tops the hundred pounds mark.
Other people may choose a wine just for the colour and packaging on the bottle. I will admit that some wines do come neatly packaged, but I certainly wouldn’t choose one over another just because of the look of the bottle.
A lot of people won’t drink red wine because it gives them a throbbing headache the next morning. Perhaps this could be because they have drunk too much!!
I can’t actually stand either rose or white wine, unless it happens to have a bit of a fizz to it. A favourite Spanish Wine that fits into this category is the classic Cava. I love Cava, infact I can honestly say I prefer it to Champagne. If you can get your hands on a decent bottle of Vintage Cava then you really can’t go wrong. In our house it’s always a bit of a favourite when we are having a family celebration.
I also love a nice glass of red wine. Unusually though I love my red wine served chilled and the colder the better. I can hear the cries of wine snobs all over the place crying out you can’t chill red wine, but that’s what I like to do and if I enjoy it that way, then that’s how I am going to drink it. A nice example of a nice bottle of red is a Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a beautiful Chilean Wine that tastes superb.
I will say that I am not particularly fond of French Wine. I think it’s due to the fact that I’m not keen on the French full stop, so I tend not to buy their wine!!
