One of the most common gift being given at Christmas or brought at parties is wine. I guess because it makes the occassion special and the conversation at the get together more fun. But do you know which wine to get and why some wine are pricey than the others? This post can help you out so the next time you bring a wine to diner you get to impress some friends or relatives with you wine stock knowledge.
Recently, I attended a Wine and Spirit Seminar held at the Market Martet Metro Supermarket wine section . While some of us are told that red wine goes with red meat and white wine is better with fish or white meat, there is more to know than that and why it is supposed to be that way.
Red or White?
Red wine brings out the flavor of the red meat dishes, and same with white meat with white wine.
I have learned that the heavier the meat is the heavier the wine best paired to it and vice versa.
How long can you keep an opened bottle of wine?
Some of us can finish a good bottle in a sitting, but there are some of us who would like to sip a bottle every night for good night sleep.
But we can’t keep a bottle in our wine cabinet or in the fridge for so long. How long you can keep your wine depends on the alcohol content. If the wine has 13-15% you can keep it for 5 days after removing the cork. Anything lower than that should be consumed in 3 days or the taste will be useless.
A good wine with 15-30% alcohol can be kept longer in a cellar.

Old World and New World Wines
When they say that the Wine is from. The Old World Wines it means it comes from the first class wine makers of the world like France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Anywhere outside those Countries are called New World Wines.
The most expensive wine is priced thousands of pesos but if you are not a connoisseur and just want a bottle there are Inexpensive ones for as low as Php245.00 .
I tried Carlo Rossi white and red Moscato at the event and I am happy that it doesn’t taste tangy or earthy, it was actually sweet. I like my wine sweet .
