A sommelier’s tips on buying wine online
When you decide to buy wine online, it is good to prepare yourself to make sure that you buy exactly what is right for you. Firstly, it is important to consider the occasion. If you have been invited for an aperitif with friends to celebrate their new home or if you are organising a classic Sunday lunch with family, or even if you simply want to expand your wine collection, you will need different bottles and you will probably have different budgets. It is important to be clear about when the bottle will be opened so that you can decide which type of wine to choose – red, white or rosé, still or sparkling – and which price range to opt for. Once you are clear about the occasion and price, you should look at the characteristics of each wine. It is good to consider the blend and ageing in particular. The guidelines on wines composed of different grape blends are not always strict and wines with the same designation can have different characteristics in terms of taste, aroma and terroir. That is why it is essential to look at the blend and know your own palate. The ageing and vinification techniques are also very important: a wine aged in wood can offer significant notes of vanilla, liquorice, and pastry, compared to a wine aged in stainless steel. Wood gives wine flavours and tertiary aromas that add structure and complexity, and these vary according to the type of wood and the malolactic fermentation. Steel does not alter the wine’s aromas but it allows for the optimal extraction of the grape’s primary aromas, and it is perfect for young, fresh, floral, and fruity wines.
