Picking a Whine

[datrada]

When buying a bottle in supermarket do you look for an offer in your pricerange and then the best known brand out of that set of offers? I never look at either wines whose company I dont recognise or which arent discounted. How do you do it, I normally go for an American or Aussie brand like Gallo, or Lindemans.

Serious answer: subscribe to something like Decanter or Wine Spectator. Try the wines listed as "best values" and then go from there. If one wine from a particular vineyard is good, odds are the others will be as well.

You don't have the time to spend 15 min reading through a magazine and then 30 min finding the wines mentioned? :roll:

I'm sorry, but there's only general correlation between price and quality of wine. If you're not willing to read up a bit, you're SOL. There are a LOT of really good wines out there under $15 US, but there's a lot of crap as well. If you don't research, you're basically throwing darts.

LMAO. Okaaaaaay.

You know, your previous posts led me to believe you're not the sharpest tool in the shed and now you're gone and confirmed my suspicions.

 

[Mr N8]

I generally read the back of the bottle, and choose the wine that best fits the meal / occasion that I want to serve it for. Of course, if I don't know the company, I usually buy 2 bottles, so I can sample it before being humiliated for buying a horrible wine. I have only spent over $20 on a bottle once, because most inexpensive wines are more than adequate.

Right, because the best vintages are advertised :roll:. If you're too apathetic to research, and you're too ignorant to even make a half educated decision, then I have to assume that your palate will be just as satisfied with jug wine than any other.

Yup. Wine is a very subjective thing and there are a bazillions variations in grapes, regions, vintages, etc so you have to either learn about it if you want to make semi-informed decisions when shopping.

LOL. That's right, we'll just go ahead and tell them, "If you're wine's really crappy for the price, you have to put a sign on it saying 'really crappy'." I'm sure they'll be happy to do that for you 😉

Well you seem to be an eventual candidate for a darwin award so I'll help you on your way. You are right a great bottle of wine can be found in your price range, even lower, you can get some Antifreeze wine for $6.99 a quart and you'll be amazed...

 

[fredtam]

Just try a few based on your price and don't worry to much about brands or labels. Then drink the cheapest one you enjoy. Expensive wines are pointless other than the experience of sharing them with friends.

Part of the fun could be trying new and or different types of wines.
