How Do You Choose Your Wine?

It’s strange how we are all so different when it comes to choosing our wine.

Some people are real wine snobs and know exactly what they are looking for, and don’t settle for anything less. They don’t mind how expensive the bottle is, and are more than happy to spend over a hundred pounds on a bottle.

Other people may choose a wine just for the colour and packaging on the bottle. I will admit that some wines are nicely packaged, but I wouldn’t choose my wine just because the bottle looks pretty.

Some folks don’t drink red wine because it gives them a stinking headache the following morning. Maybe this could be because they might just have drunk too much of it!!

I can’t drink white or rose wine, unless it happens to be fizzy. A favourite Spanish Wine that fits into this category is the classic Cava. I love a nice glass of Cava, infact I actually prefer it to Champagne. If you can buy a decent bottle of Vintage Cava then you really can’t go wrong. It’s always a favourite in our house when we have something to celebrate.

I also enjoy the odd glass of red wine. Unusually though I love my red wine served chilled and the colder the better. I can hear wine snobs all around the world yelling that you can’t possibly drink red wine if it has been chilled, but that’s what I like to do and it is my choice. 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 perhaps that’s because I’m not keen on the French full stop, so I boycott their wine!!
