How to Pick The Perfect Wine

Whether it is red wine or  white wine. Wine is a beverage that taste great by itself or with a meal. Alot of times there are confusions as to what wine goes good with certain types of food.

Instructions

• Step 1

Those who are trying to pick the perfect wine for a meal should first consider the body of the wine. If you are eating a richer tasting meal such as steak than you are going to want to pick a heavier bodied wines such as Bordeaux, Chianti, Barolo, top Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blends. If you are eating something that is not as rich than you are going to want a lighter bodied wine such as Brouilly, Moulin-à-Vent, and Fleurie.

• Step 2

Also keep in mind when picking out your wine for the evening the acidity of the wine. Wines with high acidity go better with spicy meals. The wine will compliment the meal instead of one overpowering the other. A lower acidity wine will go great with white meat or a salad. Any sweet wine will go great with dessert.

• Step 3

The longer the wine has been aged the bolder the taste will be. This should be kept in mind when pairing a wine with your meal. Choose a younger wine when pairing it to lighter dishes.
