It all depends on the moment

Have you been invited to a lunch or dinner? Depending on the event and the time of the day, it will be better to choose one type of wine or another. Take note of these simple tips to find out how to choose a good wine:

  • Aperitif: It's the perfect time to bring a vermouth.
  • Food: We love whites and rosés for this time of the day.
  • DinnerClosing the evening with sparkling wine or a sweet wine for dessert is a good way to break away from the more traditional dessert.

To choose like a professional, we cannot forget to compare:

  • Type of grape
  • Add
  • Designation of origin
  • Name of the winery
  • Geographical area of origin

You will find all this information on the label and it will guide you in choosing the perfect wine. Although it is true that interpreting it can be complicated if you don't know much about wine, and nowadays, with the wide variety of products on the market, the label can only serve to leave you even more lost.

Young, Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva?

The world of wine is exciting, but also very complex. The best recommendation we can give you is to let yourself be advised by real experts.

You can find a wide variety of wines in large supermarkets but, once you are in front of the shelf, how do you know which one to choose? Crianza or joven? Reserva or gran reserva? The best option is, without a doubt, to go to a specialised shop that offers a totally personalised service.
