How to choose the right quality wine in Omsk

As Mikhail Zhvanetsky said: "Alcohol in small doses is harmless in any quantity." In this joke, there is a grain of truth. The most noble drink from the spirits is considered to be wine. But in order not to damage your health, and also enjoy all the delights of the "nectar of the gods", you need to know some subtleties.Sommelier Vsevolod Toponarov Photo: V.Toponarov's archive

Quality is expensive

Omsk is not the birthplace of winemakers, so how can Omsk residents choose the right wine and not go wrong?In our city there are many places where steelsell high-quality wine: chain stores, large supermarkets. There are no special problems here, but we must understand that a really good wine can not cost 200 rubles. Its price starts from 500 rubles. And then it will most likely be a share. As my empirical experience suggests, you have to go where there are good specialists who can prompt and direct. Wine should not be chosen on the label, but in place. If you like Tuscan wines, then buy them. I have been engaged in wine for 12 years, but I can not say how to choose it by bottle. There are rules for reading the label, with its nuances, but it all boils down to the fact that you only know for sure whether this wine is good or not. Price is still a key factor. When buying cheap wine, you take the cat in a poke. Most likely, it will be bad, the maximum is normal. Now the wine has become expensive, because of the market and currency. But quality is expensive.Photo: Archive of V. Toponarov Is it true that the simpler the bottle, the better the wine?No, in fact, it depends on tradition. For example, the wines of Bordeaux or Burgundy. Very ascetic - no more than three colors, all information about the wine is made on the front label. This is a classic of the genre. But there is the south of France, Italy and Spain, which are all very creative, where advanced designers are working on the labels. Everything is done to attract the buyer and express their ideas. Bottles are beautiful, they are simple, but this does not affect the quality at all.
