Choosing A Red Wine
So many wines, so little time, but if you want to sample a few to decide which types of red wines you prefer, you can join a wine club or visit ! a local winery. Wineries usually encourage visitors to taste their vintages. You can chose from Chianti, burgundy, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, claret, port and and more. Many domestic wines, produced in the Napa Valley of California, the Tennessee mountains and New York State are very good and inexpensive.
For people who like very dry full bodied wines, burgundy and chianti are good choices. Merlot and cabernet sauvignon are less dry and have a smooth finish. Port is quite sweet and is considered a desert, but not all ports are red wines. The varieties of wines are created by using different types of grapes. Some wines use only one type, while varietal wines use a mixture of grapes. The whole grape, including the skin, is fermented to produce red wines.
The type of red wine that you chose will depend on your personal taste. Some people like very dry wines like Beaujolais, while others prefer sweeter wines. Wine is something of an acquired taste, many people don’t like it the first time they try it. At one time most imported red wine came from France and Italy, but newer exporters include Israel, Australia, Chile, and some eastern European states.
