Do You Choose The Wine In Your Home?
It’s funny how when it comes to choosing our wine we are all so different.
You have the real wine snobs who know exactly what they want to drink and won’t settle for anything less. They don’t flinch at the price of the bottle, even if it tops the hundred pounds mark.
Some might choose their bottle of wine by the packaging and colour of it. 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.
A lot of people won’t drink red wine because it gives them a throbbing headache the next morning. Maybe this could be because they might just 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 Cava so much I actually prefer it to an expensive bottle of 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 enjoy the odd 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 it’s due to the fact that I’m not keen on the French full stop, so I tend not to buy their wine!!
