It’s strange how different we all are when we choose our wine.
You have the real wine snobs who know exactly what they want to drink and won’t settle for anything less. It doesn’t seem to bother them how expensive the bottle is, even if it costs over a hundred pounds.
Other people may choose a wine just for the colour and packaging on the bottle. I will admit that some wines are packaged from a real marketing point of view, but that doesn’t mean the wine tastes any good.
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 so much I actually prefer it to an expensive bottle of 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. Wine snobs all over the country will be crying out that you shouldn’t chill red wine, but that’s how I like to drink it, so surely it is my choice. A good 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 perhaps that’s because I’m not keen on the French full stop, so I boycott their wine!!
