1. Look at the packaging: Good wines are often packaged in dark bottles, such as green and brown bottles. The advantage is that it can filter out light waves that affect the quality of the wine, which is beneficial to the preservation of the wine. , and the darker the bottle color (brown-red), the better the effect. The quality of the wine bottle should be uniform in thickness and color, and there should be no patterns, cracks, or blisters on the surface. Bottle caps mostly use wooden stoppers or metal screw caps, and the bottle caps are tightly sealed. The trademark is clear and complete, and the wine name is prominent. Consumers can check the logo, alcohol content, sugar content, etc. when purchasing. High-end wines are usually bottled with a layer of transparent paper to protect the cleanliness of the bottle surface and the integrity of the trademark.

2. Look at the wine label: Wine labels cover a lot of information. You can basically judge the basic information of the wine from the wine label. In particular, French wine has a long history and has a very standardized wine certification system. Red wine is divided into four levels: legal production area wine (AOC), quality production area wine (VDQS), regional table wine (VDP), and daily table wine (VDT). Through the wine label, you can know the name, place of origin, year, grape variety and grade of the wine. Through this basic information, you can roughly judge whether the quality of this wine is good or bad.

3. Look at the place of origin: the smaller the place of origin is marked, the higher the quality will be. Generally, the quality of village-level wines is higher than that of regional wines, and the quality of regional-level wines is higher than that of large district wines. For example, if the wine is also AOC, but the origins are Bordeaux, Medoc and Pauillac, then the village-level Pauillac wine will have the highest quality, while the region-level Bordeaux wine will have the highest quality. generally.

4. Look at the year: three-thirds of the quality of wine depends on craftsmanship and seventy-percent on raw materials. The annual climate, light and rainfall will have a great impact on the quality of grapes. Therefore, the quality of the vintage is directly related to the quality of the wine, especially a fine wine. For example, good vintages in Bordeaux include 2010, 2009, 2005, 2000, 1996, 1990 and 1982.
