Wine

With so many different kinds of delicious grapes, exotic regions and vintners, choosing the right wine can be a complicated task. If you are wondering how to choose the perfect wine for an occasion such as an anniversary or other celebration, there are a few tips one can follow. One fact that many people do not know is that a New World wine is named for the grape, but an Old World wine is named for the region.

Another interesting fact to know about wine is that wine should be matched by weight with foods. Basically, if you wish to pair foods with wine, drink heavy wine with heavy foods as well as drinking light wine with lighter foods. Many people should know that the actual color of wine will inform you about the age of the wine. A young wine will resemble the colors of purple, red and blue. As wine ages, the color of the wine will transform into more of an orange-red.
