With so many different types of wines out there, it can be hard to know what you should try first. The good news is that every wine has a story and a taste that is unique to its location, vintage and producer. So whether you’re just starting to learn about wine or have been drinking it for years, here are some suggestions for wines that everyone should try at some point in their lives:
Champagne: Champagne is a sparkling wine that comes from the Champagne region in France. While there are many different types of champagne, only the ones made in this region can be called Champagne.
Cabernet Sauvignon: This is one of the most popular red wines in the world and is grown mostly in California and Bordeaux, France. The grapes used to make this wine are usually dark red and have a strong flavor that goes well with meat dishes like steak or lamb chops.
Chardonnay: A white wine made from Chardonnay grapes, Chardonnay is often dry but may also be sweet depending on the winemaker’s style. It’s commonly served with seafood dishes such as crab cakes or oysters, but some people like it with chicken as well.
Pinot Noir: This is another famous red wine that’s grown mostly in France but also found across the globe including California, New Zealand and Australia. Pinot Noir tends to be lighter than Cabernet Sauvignons and can be served as an accompaniment
White Wines:
White wines are usually made from grapes that are picked while they are still green and unripe. The skins of white grapes contain less tannin than red grapes, so white wine tends to be softer and smoother on the palate. White wines can be divided into two main categories: dry and sweet. Dry wines have little or no residual sugar left in them, whereas sweet wines have a higher amount of residual sugar left after fermentation. Some examples of white wines include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris.
This type is made from grapes that have been fermented with skin contact during their production process. This gives them their dark red color, which comes from anthocyanin pigments found in the skins of the grapes used to make them. Some examples include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir
Rose Wine : Rose wine is a favorite of many people. It has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and it’s easy to see why. Rose wine is made from red grapes that have been allowed to sit on their skins for a longer time. This process allows for the creation of a lighter color than what is found in red wines.
Rose wines have a much lower alcohol content than traditional reds, which makes them perfect for celebrating with friends or taking relaxing baths. The most common style of rose wine is called “blush,” which simply means that the grapes were allowed to stay on their skins longer than usual so they would turn pinkish when they were pressed off.
