Is the price equal to the quality?
When it comes to wine, the adage "if you don't know what's excellent, ask what's pricey" often does not apply; and she agrees: "I'm not affluent enough to purchase cheap things." Quality wines don't have to be pricey, but they also can't be too cheap because the wine industry is an expensive one. Because our wine market is still emerging, the quality and costs of wine are out of balance. Prices have risen in tandem with the rise in wine quality, but the question is how realistic they are.
On the other hand, determining the price category is a complex job, and hand on heart, as well as determining the price for something as metaphysical as wine…
A wine label is a wine's identification card, and you should learn everything you can about it. First, the wine's name and producer are mentioned, followed by its geographical origin, composition, age, percentage of alcohol, and, in certain cases, with what cuisine or at what temperature the wine should be served. So, read the label attentively and you'll be able to find the wine that's right for you.
Odd years - good harvests
Labels often have two numbers that reflect the years. These are the harvest and bottling years for wine. When discussing wine, the year of harvest (the number on the front of the label) is an incredibly essential piece of information. Top vineyards do not even make certain wines during so-called weak harvest years. In contrast, certain years are so favorable to the development of grapes in vineyards that, with correct winemaking treatment, certain wines become true gems in the bottle. The Chateau Mouton Rothschild wine, vintage 2018, was named the greatest wine in the world last year, and the outstanding year in Bordeaux surely helped.
Local food - local wine
The famous pairing of wine with food, ie with cheese, meat, and how much truth there is in the fact that white wines go with, say, fish, and red with pork…
Wine enthusiasts are always on the lookout for perfection, which the French refer to as marriage, and it depicts the moment when food and wine marry in our lips. For this to happen, food and wine must complement and agree with each other while also respecting each other as real spouses. There is no supremacy or predominance. The start, like any other, should be fluttery and graceful. Local cuisine paired with regional wines. Light cuisine is paired with a light wine, which should be dry, fruity, and preferably young. Some fatty meats or fish should be coupled with more strong wines, while red with red meat should be avoided at all costs, and white with white meat or fish. According to wine experts, you should have two glasses of wine throughout one delicious dinner.
