In daily life, wine, in addition to being a popular consumer product, also plays a leading role in social occasions. So do you know how to pick a bottle of wine correctly? Today, Consumer Jun has come to provide you with some tips for choosing a wine.
First, try to avoid selecting wines that are stored in strong light positions, such as near shop windows or heat sources. Because. Light and heat sources can cause wine to lose its fruity aroma and freshness.
Second, find those wines whose bottling address is as close as possible to the place of origin. If the producer is not the same, all wine labels should indicate the address of the bottling, at least the postal code.

It is true that more and more wines are being transported around the world, which is desirable from an ecological industry perspective for those wines that are not too expensive, but really serious wine producers will still insist on bottling themselves.

Fourth, check the liquid level at the bottleneck. It is best not to buy wines that have more space above the liquid level than 2 to 3 cm when placed upright, because this may send a signal that too much harmful oxygen has come into contact with the wine.

Sixth, pay attention to the information on the label on the back of the bottle, if it delicately describes the flavor of the wine, what food is recommended to match, etc., it may imply too much marketing color. The more information we see should be a description of how this bottle of wine is made.
Bring your smartphone to see wine ratings, critics' opinions, and reviews from other wine lovers.
Go to independent wine retailers and get advice. If their advice doesn't fit, try to find another one until you find something you're happy with.
For cheap white wines, especially rosé wines, choose the latest vintage.
10. If a bottle of wine is a special wine, ask why. Sometimes, alcohol is cheap because it's not in good shape or it's too old.
