about what wine to choose to impress your new friend!
One of the great things about wine on a date is that one bottle
is a defined amount, normally about five glasses. If shared
equally it is unlikely that you will fall off your chair drunk
after half a bottle of wine!
However, there are some other social sins that can be committed
whilst choosing wine on a date.
Getting Started
First, you need to decide whether you want white, red, rosé or
sparkling wine. This is perhaps the most important decision. As
a general rule, red wine is more of an acquired taste and it can
be harder to select a good red. Therefore, when you do not know
your companion's tastes it may be wise to steer clear of the red
wine section.
Sparkling wine can make you appear a little pretentious or if
you go for a cheaper version, a tightwad; so this is usually
The Ideal Temperature To Store Your WineThe ideal temperature to store wines is between 55ºF and 58ºF (13ºC–15ºC). However, any temperature between 40º–65ºF (5º–18ºC) will suffice as long as it remains constant. The degree and the speed of the temperature change are critical. A gradual change of a few degrees between summer and winter won t matter. The same change each day will harm your wines by ageing them too rapidly. The most important rule when storing wine is to avoid large temperature changes or fluctuations. You ll notice damage of this nature straight away from the sticky deposit that often forms around the capsule. Over time ..
best avoided. If you are not sure whether your companion likes
wine at all, rosé wine is often a safe option as it often lacks
the sharpness that people commonly dislike in wines.
How Much to Spend?
Remember more money doesn't always mean more quality. If you are
very new to wine, go for a house white. A house white is
unlikely to be extremely imaginative or unusual, but is almost
always perfectly drinkable. For this reason it is a safe, middle
of the road option.
If you want to impress, look for something other than the house
white. Keep away from extremes until you know your companion a
little better, so don't go for bone dry whites. Instead, opt for
a fruity dry wine that appeals to those who like both dry and
medium whites.
Whilst neutral wines may seem like a bit of a cop-out, bear in
mind that you simply want a drinkable wine that does not offend.
The excellent French wineThere are many reasons why French wine is considered to be among the most excellent wines throughout the entire world. France has been producing wine through its entire history, and has developed techniques and dedicated such a great amount of time in order to found fertile spots which are able to produce several different wines of a quality that could never be equaled at other places of the globe.
Wine is part of the French culture and France cuisine would not be the same without this drink. Drinking wine with meals is a common French tradition and is possible to see families enjoying their ..
If you are really not sure what to choose, why not offer your
companion a choice of glasses as an aperitif while you have a
beer or spirit. This way you can judge your companion's taste.
Even if they select a spirit, you can still get a measure of
whether they prefer sweet or dry wines.
Of course, you could always give your companion the choice...
