Wine is beloved the world over. Wine has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Do not pick up another glass, though, until you have learned a bit more about wine. This article can help better your wine knowledge.

Develop a relationship with your local wine store. This is particularly important as each shop is different. Selections and prices can vary, depending on the store you are in. If you’re just starting to get into wine, filling your collection with expensive labels isn’t the best way to start. This will help you to pick a shop that is right for you.

TIP! Get to know your local wine retailers. Every store is different.

Don’t let others decide which wines you should try. There is no reason to please someone else’s wish for you to try a wine if you feel that you probably will not like it. Instead of spending the money on a wine you will probably not like, see if you can sample it at a restaurant before making a commitment to an entire bottle.

Do not stay in your comfort zone when ordering wine at a restaurant. To impress your dinner guests, pick a wine they don’t know. The high price won’t shock them, and they will not have any preconceived notions about the wine.

TIP! Have you ever spilled wine on your clothes? If so, find a bottle of Windex. Windex will remove the stain right away and is much more efficient than water and soap.

Some wines are best when served at extremely cold temperatures. Examples include: sparkling wines, some dessert wines and Champagne. If you drink these beverages at room temperature, the flavor will be compromised. Put champagne in the fridge to chill about 1-2 hours before drinking it.

Experiment and have fun with the different varieties of wine. Try to analyze each wine that you enjoy to find out all the different flavors it has to offer and what types of meals it works best with. Be creative, have fun and enjoy wine.

TIP! Store wine properly to maintain its flavor. Very cold or very hot temperatures can harm the flavor of wines.

There are many wonderful after dinner dessert wines to choose from. A California Port, an Italian Moscato or a French Champagne makes an excellent dessert wine selection. Serve this to your guests beside a crackling fire and enjoy an evening filled with rich conversations.

Don’t just go to a winery on the spur of the moment. Set your budget ahead of time and be prepared with a designated driver before you arrive. Write down the questions you have in a list and create a list of wine elements you like.

TIP! Wine makes for a terrific sauce for beef dishes. To do this put some butter and red wine in a saucepan.

White wines should be consumed within the first two years of purchase. The only exception to this is Chardonnay. Oak barrels are not used to store most white wines. The reverse is true for the many varieties of red wines.

Select the right stemware for the wine you are serving. Glassware should be clean, well rinsed and dry to improve the appearance and allow the natural flavor to come through. If it is cracked, chipped or stained, you need to spend money on a new set.

TIP! Do not hesitate to experiment when shopping for wine. New wine tasting is a great way for you to learn about other countries and wines.

Don’t allow other’s comments determine what type of wine you and do and don’t like. Any wine you like must be a wine that tastes good. This is something that you should follow at all times. Your tastes are your tastes, and a wine you like may be different than another’s favorite. If your friends don’t like it, you will have more for yourself.

As mentioned earlier, lots of folks everywhere enjoy wine. It might be that you are a wine lover yourself. To truly appreciate the finer points of wine, though, you need to learn a little about the subject. This article is just the tip of the iceberg, so keep learning and sharing the information gained with family and friends.
