5 steps to choosing a good wine

You have to learn how to choose a good wine. Here are 5 steps to help you make the right choice.

 

 Setting a budget

 

Before shelling out crazy sums blindly, set yourself a reasonable price range so you can focus on options that fit your budget.

 

Remember one thing: price doesn't justify success!

 

Read labels

 

From grape varieties to vintage and terroir of origin, wine bottles feature a wide range of indications. Some are more important than others. For example, the "Grand Crus classés" label testifies to the quality of the wine, while the "vieille vignes" label is not subject to any particular regulations.

 Consider geographical origin

 

Grape varieties are generally grouped by zone, themselves identified by appellation. Autrement words, each wine region has its own type of wine. The more you learn about French vineyards, the better you'll be able to target your ideal type of wine.

 

 The right food and wine pairing

 

When it comes to gastronomy, the choice of wine is crucial. And while it's all a question of taste, there are a few essential pairings that bring out the aromas, from glass to plate. Like red wine with red meat, and white wine with fish.

 Get in touch with a wine expert

 

What better than a specialist to help you choose the right wine? From the wine merchant to the sommelier, the wine expert is the best person to recommend the wine that best suits your expectations. From advice to tasting.
