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 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.
Some people won’t drink red wine because it gives them a stinking headache the next day. A possibility of course is that they have drunk too much of it!!
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 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. In our house it’s always a bit of a favourite when we are having a family celebration.
I also have been known to drink a glass of red. 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 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!!
