How to judge a wine

Popular often buy wine in good vintage, a good brand and try them when we do not like. How can we judge a wine without being specialists?
The wines are usually heard by three factors:

1. On the palate (what it knows.)

2. Because of its popularity or because they are fashionable. For example, in the 70′s century, California in the 80′s, Ribera del Duero in 90′s or New World wines today).


3. Because of its vintage, which is determined by the weather or marketing, as happened with the harvest of 82 or 2000.
The above points are important, but there are many other factors must be taken into consideration when choosing a wine. Some might ask the other will suffice to look at the label and the others we learn the habit of going buying wines, for example:

1. Grape Cultivation
This is the most important. The grape determines more than 50 percent of the result. If you have not lost Australian Shiraz, Malbec Argentino if … and so on. You will comment in detail on another occasion which grapes are the best in each region.
2. Winemaking
That is the winemaker, which plays an important role, since even in a year climatically bad can save the wine, whether blending different grapes or changing a physical process of production.

There are winemakers such as Michel Roland, who made the Petrus, whose experience is guaranteed, regardless of the winery.

3. Bodega Cork and Conservation
The cork has given the tower a real good wines, and may have problems with fungus which is like a raffle, and well not forgetting that there are producers who use cork agglomerates which are worse than recycled or very short and let pass the air as that oxidizes rapidly. Be careful that corks are a part and preferably longer.

4. Transport (Trans-Atlantic and National)
Matter much how well it was transported, unless the product is left in the sun or in the wrong customs care, pressure changes, for example.

5. Service Temperature
What is important to check this fact almost no one takes into account. No one forgets a coke cool, but nobody thinks of that red wine has different operating temperatures for example.

6. Food pairing
As important as learning to dress well. Sometimes combined and sometimes contrasting. Sometimes and sometimes avant-garde fashion, but always with gusto. So before buying a wine note Who did it, with which grapes, if you have a good cork, if it has been well maintained (eye with supermarkets!), What temperature to serve and that is going to eat .
