Tips for choosing red wine

1. When purchasing red wine, you should understand the content of the trademark label, including product name, ingredient list, net content, pure juice content, alcohol content, sugar content, factory name, factory address, production date, shelf life, product standard code, etc. In addition, consumers should try their best to purchase pure juice wines with grape varieties labeled, as the quality of such wines is more guaranteed.

2． Observe the color of the wine. If the whole body is clear and transparent, showing deep ruby ??red, and there is no precipitation or turbidity, it is a good wine; if the color is dark, without luster and brightness, it means there is a problem with the quality of the wine, and consumers should buy it with caution.

3. Choose the type of wine according to your own preferences. Wine can be divided into sweet, semi-sweet, dry and semi-dry according to its sugar content, and can be divided into red, white and pink according to its color. High-end red wine has a clear, transparent and shiny body, a rich and pleasant aroma, a soft taste and a long aftertaste. Generally, the alcohol content of dry red wine is between 11 and 12 degrees. High-end white wine is generally slightly yellowish with green color, clear, transparent and shiny, with a fruity and pleasant aroma, and the alcohol content is generally around 12 degrees. 1

1. Grape variety

Not all wine bottles will indicate the grape variety. Producing countries such as Australia and the United States stipulate that a bottle of wine must contain more than 75% of a certain grape before the name of that variety can be marked on the bottle. Traditional European grape-producing areas have different regulations, such as Germany and France. If the name of a certain grape variety appears on the label, it means that at least 85% of the wine is made from that type of grape. It is more common to see variety names on New World wine labels.

2. Harvest year

The year marked on the wine bottle is the year the grapes were harvested. The weather in traditional European wine-producing areas, especially the northern grape-growing areas, is not as stable as New World wine-producing areas such as Australia and the United States, so the quality varies greatly from year to year. Vintage is also an important factor to consider when buying wine, as this will give you an idea of ??how old the wine is. If the year is not indicated, it means that the wine is a blend of grapes from different years. With a few exceptions (such as sparkling wine, fortified wine, etc.), the wine is not of good quality.
