How to choose wine?

Each wine is made only in one strict place, from the grapes which have been grown up only on one vineyard. Sometimes there are, that grapes only to one, strictly certain vineyard parts go on manufacture of this wine. If in the wine name there is word Крю it means that grapes for wine are grown up on an earth site, historically the best, than surrounding sites.

According to the Russian standards, under the maintenance of spirit and wine sugar are subdivided on Natural: Special: the Wine sated in the course of secondary fermentation with carbonic gas, is called as a sparkling wine. On quality and terms of endurance of wine are subdivided young, without the endurance, sustained, branded (the best, the vintage wines developed in defined винодельческих areas from the same grades of grapes, keeping taste and aroma) and collection. On colour distinguish white, pink and red grades of wines. And red grades, according to doctors, possess remedies owing to containing in them актиоксидантов. Grape wine often name a solar drink as in it all advantages of the grape berry which have collected in a solar energy remain. In natural wines various enzymes, microcells, vitamins and other useful biologically active substances contain. Knowingly ancient врачеватели wines curative often considered.

The matter is that the world standards of manufacture of wine assume the maintenance in a drink only grape components. But in Ukraine wine крепят, as a rule, not grape spirit, and ethyl, and подслащивают свекловичным sugar. They are experts name signs ненатуральности, believing, that they remained in the Ukrainian winemaking since times Soviet ГОСТов.

To define "ненатуральность" wines approximately it is impossible, as manufacturers do not specify on a label the maintenance свекловичного sugar and ethyl spirit. Such analysis is possible only in laboratory conditions. натуральности wines it is possible to consider as certain criterion the price. However, it is not necessary to forget, that unfair manufacturers, trying to earn on a maximum, sometimes hide under high cost a cheap product.

 

Components unusual for grape wines are less often used in dry wines. However some Ukrainian wine makers apply to their manufacture though also natural, but bad quality виноматериалы. Dry wines in shops should cost not less than 15 грн. For a bottle.

Including quality of the Ukrainian wines insufficiently high, many good restaurants refuse to include them in the wine card, and wine boutiques - in the ассортиментный a number.

Experts advise before acquisition of domestic wine necessarily to read on a label where there is a manufacturer, - hardly in Броварах near Kiev (and manufacturers of wine are and there) grow up suitable grapes for winemaking. Now many domestic винодельческие the enterprises try to improve quality, expanding the vineyards, introducing new technologies. Own powerful raw-material base the factory of vintage wines and cognacs "Koktebel", НПАО "Массандра", Odessa коньячный factory, institute of grapes and wine "Магарач", Open Company "Agrofirm" the Gold beam ", winery" Solar valley "have Inkermansky factory of vintage wines".

Georgia and Moldova

Moldova and Georgia deliver to Ukraine basically dry and semisweet wines. Creations of the Moldavian wine makers - with the easy "solar" bouquets little bit similar what wines of the south of the Odessa area adjoining on Moldova have. The Georgian wines approach fans of "dense", tart wine tastes. They are made, as a rule, from local grades of grapes and have uncharacteristic for the European wines especial Georgian taste and aroma.

However many experts name the main problem of wines from these countries their astable quality. Because of astable quality Moldavian and Georgian wines they are avoided by elite restaurants and wine boutiques.

Experts, the truth, assert, that among Moldavian and Georgian wines is qualitative, but in a variety reigning on regiments of supermarkets, it is difficult enough to understand. Therefore experts recommend to try, consult on friends who drink these wines, and to choose "" a trial and error method. Fault in ceramic bottles is better not to buy. They look, certainly, vividly, but on technology укупорки wine in them heats up to enough heat that influences its properties.

Wines of so-called New Light Ukrainians have actively started to drink three - five years ago, and every year creations of wine makers of "new" regions all become more popular. And not only in Ukraine - fault from Chile, the republic of South Africa, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Morocco and the USA win tastes not only Ukrainians, but inhabitants of Europe where wine drink for a long time and sense in it understand. In the countries of New Light prirodno-climatic conditions and the culture which has come from Europe of winemaking have very successfully united favorable for grapes ripening. For example, in Chile is not present unsuccessful for a crop of grapes of years - there always a lot of the sun necessary for the future wine. Between винодельческой production New and the Old World there are certain differences in taste and aroma. Fault of New Light - simple, easy, practically at once ready to open "the soul".

Wines of New Light сомелье advise to use both for holidays, and in everyday life, and Old - when there is time to think.

French wines are more difficult, frequently they reveal only after certain time, therefore they need to be drunk slowly, gradually opening for themselves taste and a bouquet.

Wine production of New Light is characterised by decent enough quality and concerning the low price - it is cheaper "old-world" approximately on 20 - 30 % (it mainly concerns wines in cost to 200 грн.).

Certainly, to the Ukrainian the French wine will manage much more expensively, than to the inhabitant of France. For example, Kotes du Rhone in Ukraine is on sale approximately on €10, and in France - is not more expensive €4 - 5 for a bottle. Austrian Ice Wine in the homeland in recalculation for grivnas costs nearby 75 грн., in the Ukrainian shops - from 120 грн., and at restaurants - nearby 400 грн. For a bottle.

If attentively to consider labels or counterlabels of wine bottles, on some of them it is possible to find out that inscription by which the given text is entitled, - Contains sulphites. It means, that for increase of stability of such wine at storage wine makers used sulphites. During old times to the same purpose it was applied окуривание by sulphur. What does it mean for this purpose who such wine will drink? Weak traces of sulphites affect health hardly can, unless аллергики will feel. Thin judges of wines as they confirm :), in a bouquet of a consequence of such processing all the same "hear". How much similar wines are really harmless - to confirm we not undertake. Anyway, according to norms of EU, now сульфитосодержащие fault should be marked, but to make them and it is possible to sell all the same. Euroofficials of such wines are not afraid - regiments of the Spanish and Greek shops are forced by similar production.
Where with what consumption of such wine is fraught for a purse is more important. With all responsibility it is declared: сульфитосодержащее wine the expensive cannot be. Therefore if on дорогущей to capacity it is written Contains sulphites, means, the dealer tries "впарить" to the buyer inexpensive wine under the other-wordly price.
