A wine cellar is the fruit of a hobby or a passion. He is a part of yourself that you share with friends. In compiling it is good to himself as to ask the following questions in order to fully enjoy the wine. A good wine is a wine you like to drink. Taste is a personal data and no one else can tell you that you must find a wine good or bad.
How many bottles I use each year?
This is a first important question. It determines your budget and your storage space, but also the diversity of purchased wines. The answer depends on your needs and the way you drink wine or tasting, and how it will evolve.
On what occasions you store drinking wine? Does the wine at home on occasion consumption or turn ever more often a bottle on the table? If so, how will?
What flavors do I like?
The wine taste is caused by a multitude of variables, which have their effect throughout the process of grape to wine.
Wines can be divided into classes according to their similarity. We have divided them into several categories to help you decide what you like to drink. Each of these wines has its own flavor and character, its own aging and ripening process and its own serving opportunity.
- Dry, neutral white wines. These wines have little flavor, high acidity and are best drunk very cool. On a hot summer day these wines are the best thirst quenchers. Ideal picnic wine.
- Dry, very fruity white wines. They are for those who do not like high acid levels and still want some aromas. There are two categories. The one with more exotic fruit (such as pineapple, mango, passion fruit, etc.), the other with more cool fruit (such as green apples, pears, grasses, etc.).
- Semi-sweet or semi-dry white wines. They are usually made from riper grapes. Here, the sugar will already be at the forefront together with more concentrated fruit.
- Sweet white wines. They are made from overripe grapes or by noble rot affected grapes. They have a separate character and exhibit a plurality of concentrated flavors. Here we also find the most majestic wines 'eternal' to the elderly.
- Frizzanté wines. These are wines with slight amounts of carbon dioxide. The term comes from Italy, where they often certain white wines bottled very early and therefore more carbon dioxide from the fermentation is in the wine. They are very bright, pleasant to drink wines.
- Sparkling white wines. Not all sparkling wines come from the Champagne. Sparkling wines are made all over the world in a multitude of ways. Sometimes they get easily the level of a typical Champagne.And you knew that made the best white Champagnes from red grapes? Why not a real red or rosé sparkling wine?
- Rosé wines. They are ideal to accompany a lunch on a sultry summer day.
- Light red wines. They often look like white wines, but with aromas of red fruit. They are also best drunk cool.
- Full-bodied red wines. These sometimes have a higher alcohol content and are full of flavor. Which can usually in the basement for several years.
- Heavy red wines. These wines are often a meal in itself and of great quality. Concentrated aromas are an unstoppable whole. These wines have the capacity to fill your storage for many years.
