Ordering the right wine from a menu is not always an easy mission, sometimes your hands sweat from embarrassment... Choosing wine based on where you are having lunch or dinner? Or another one you've heard a lot about from your friends? Shouldn't you choose a cheap but good wine? There are many dilemmas and questions, but here are the little secrets of sommeliers (professional wine connoisseurs) who always know what wine is worth drinking, while you are in the company of friends, family or partner.
Find out which wines you don't have to spend a penny on every time you order it at a restaurant:
Wines from famous regions
When a wine is produced by well-known wineries or famous areas, of course the price will be higher. Sommelier Warner Boin says she always overlooks these wines. "If you don't want to spend a lot of money, look for lesser-known regions or varietals or local wines," she said.
Fellow sommelier Sara Jimenez tells HuffPost that: “A lot of restaurants focus on big wineries and mass-produced wines because they sell a lot. I like to try local wines produced in smaller quantities."
Wines you can buy cheaper at the supermarket
Nëse çmimi i asaj gote vere që ju doni të porosisni në restorant është shumë më i lartë se një shishe verë e blerë në dyqan, pse duhet të shpenzoni kaq shumë?!
Karen MacNeil, autorja e "The Wine Bible", ka një logjikë të ngjashme. “Kam parë që në supermarkete apo dyqane verërash të shiten shishe vere me një çmim disa herë më të ulët se një gotë që ju porosisni në restorant, ndaj unë zgjedh dyqanet gjithmonë”. Nuk ka turp në këtë lojë, thonë somelierët! "Mos kini frikë të deklaroni buxhetin që keni në dispozicion për pijet, sa herë kërkoni rekomandime," thekson një tjetër someliere, Sarah Looper.
Verërat që nuk u pëlqejnë
Kjo mund të tingëllojë e çuditshme, por në fakt njerëzit duhet të jenë të hapur për të provuar shije të reja verërash, edhe nëse nuk dini si t’i shqiptoni, nuk dini emrin apo origjinën e tyre.
"Learn to describe what you like or don't like," says Looper.
This tip is similar to how you figure out what you want to eat. If you're eating at a Thai restaurant and you know you don't like a traditional dish, you won't order it and focus on other dishes. The same goes for wine!
