If you are having red meats, stick to red wine. This is the general principle, and should rarely be veered away from. Red wine helps to bring out the flavor in the steak or meat that you choose and vice versa, giving you the best possible experience while you are eating lunch or dinner.

 

If you are having oysters or seafood, stick to white wine. White wine is lighter and has a higher acidity level, so it is best to have this when you are eating lighter foods. Seafood is a perfect combination with white wine, and will help to maximize the sensation that you get.

 

Do you need a wine all your guests will enjoy? Instead of choosing a rare wine people might not appreciate, choose a Beaujolais, a Chilean, a Sauvignon or a Cava from Spain. These wines are easy to find and offer enough diversity to remain interesting for connoisseurs without making novices feel like they are sophisticated enough to enjoy the wine.

 

Wine makes for a beautiful beef sauce. To keep things simple, melt some butter in a saucepan and add some red wine. As the sauce simmers, the alcohol cooks away and the mixture gradually thickens. Then simply pour over your beef!

 

If you tend to get headaches right after drinking wine, you should try a different kind of wine. For instance, some people only get headaches from red wines. If the headaches persist, you should go to your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to keep drinking wine.

 

Do not be frightened of the sulfite warnings stated on the wine labels. American manufacturers often have warning labels concerning sulfates, but in reality all wines have them. It is rare that this ingredient will cause an allergic reaction for you.

 

If you find a wine, you enjoy a lot, consider buying a case or two of it. A case of wine is almost always less expensive per bottle than buying each bottle individually. You can keep the wine for yourself and enjoy it on a regular basis, or you can have it on hand to give as gifts.

 

If you often find yourself stumped when you visit the wine store, consider purchasing an app for your smart phone. These apps are generally inexpensive, and they can provide valuable information such as reviews of various wines or pairing ideas for certain dishes. They are very user friendly, and you will always have the information you need on hand once you purchase your app.

 

You can read as much as you like about wine, but ultimately, you have to decide for yourself if you like it or not. Price often doesn't matter. You may like an inexpensive bottle of red wine much more than a costlier version. Don't apologize for your tastes. Drink what you enjoy.

 

It may be daunting initially since you are unaware of proper selection and serving methods. However, as your knowledge increases, so does your confidence. Use what you've just learned, and share a great bottle of wine with a friend.
