Steer Clear of the Frat Boy Wine
Any wine that comes in a huge bottle, a box or any other type of whimsical or unique packaging is not going to be a good wine, I promise. Even though you will usually get the most for your money here, they are usually mass produced and taste terrible.
The Cuter the Label, The Simpler the Wine
Simple wine is what producers have nicknamed wine that is easy to drink. It’s not too complex and typically a big crowd-pleaser in a group of people with diverse pallets. This usually means that reds will be sweet and the whites will taste slightly of honeyed fruit and be less acidic.
Pay Attention to Who Makes the Wine
If you want to find out where a wine comes from, look for the phrases “produced and bottled”, “vinted and bottled” or “imported and bottled.” The location listed will make you privy to the parent company that bottled the wine.
Beware of Discounts
Discounts might be great to see at your favorite clothing store, but when it comes to wine it’s usually a bad sign. Especially when it comes to older vintages, a discounted wine usually signifies that it has been sitting in a warehouse or the shelf for quite a while and has probably passed its peak already.
