When buying wine, do not make the mistake of believing a wine has to be expensive to be tasty. There are many wines out there that taste great and are reasonably priced. If you are not sure you like a particular variety of wine, it is a good idea to try an inexpensive bottle.

 

Proper wine storage can preserve flavors well. Temperatures to any extreme can damage your wine's taste. Store wines between 50 and 55 degrees to be safe. Use a wine fridge or a closet to keep the temperature steady.

 

If you want to keep wine for long periods of time, you should consider investing in a wine refrigerator. Even if you have a dry and cool basement you can use, temperature will still vary slightly from one season to the next. The wine you store will keep its flavors if it remains at the exact same temperature.

 

A good tip when trying to research wines is to find a critic or expert that has a similar palate to you. Everyone's tastes are different and that includes critics. Try to find a critic that likes similar wines and you'll be amazed with all the new wines you'll be introduced to.

 

Casual events, like tailgating parties, call for a wine with a screw top. Screw tops don't need a wine opener and are easy to open. The ability to securely re-seal the bottle also comes in handy.

 

If you have a cellar or even just a rack where you can store wine, do not fill the space completely with the wines that you like right now. Your tastes are bound to change over time. You don't want to be stuck with many cases of a brand you no longer drink.

 

For a spring picnic, evening at the race track or other outdoor events during seasonable weather, your best bet is a sparkling wine. Take your pick of bubbly's like a nice Asti or Champagne and complement it with mild cheese, fresh bread and fruit. Remember to bring flute glasses too, to make the experience complete.

 

Ask questions and start discussions about wine amongst your friends. You will be surprised by how many things your friends know about wine that you were not aware of. This can help you to not only build your information base with wine but to try new brands and types of wine as well.

 

As you now know, there is a lot of information to deal with when it comes to wine. However, when you have the right information and put in a little effort, you can be a wine expert in no time. Just make sure to enjoy your wine education, as it is supposed to be fun!
