Choosing the right wine - for you, for a gift, at a restaurant - can be quite intimidating. Could it be made easier?
Does the wine list at the restaurant seem like rocket science to you?
Do you find yourself panicking at the store and picking the wine with the prettiest label?
Have you been disappointed by the wine you bought that way?
Well, we probably all have made the mistake of getting the wrong kind of wine. It’s not too bad if you bought the bottle for yourself and decided you hated it. But what if you bought a sweet red wine as a gift only to find out the recipient's tastes are different? That’s a decent portion of embarrassment right there…
A well-picked wine can make or break a meal, too. Forgetting the rules like “only whites for fish”, a wine that’s too robust will drown the steak you wanted to enjoy. That way, you will have wasted money twice - on food you can’t taste and on wine you don’t enjoy. Can there be a way to avoid all that confusion?
Thankfully - yes, and you don’t have to go through years of rigorous, expensive training to become a wine taster. There’s very little science to it, and all the equipment you need you already have - your eyes, nose and tongue.
From the moment you uncork the bottle to the last sip of your wine, there’s a whole journey ahead of you that you have been missing all this time. Just like finding an Easter egg in a movie you love, knowing how to find out the subtleties in wine can be truly satisfying.
You’ve spent your hard earned money on that wine - so why not enjoy it to its fullest potential? There could be a whole new world right at the rim of your glass…
