I want to make Sangria. Recipes call for red wine – what kind?
May 26, 2010
Merlot, burgundy, etc – what’s best? Not a big red wine drinker so don’t have a clue what would be best.
You can make it with either red or white wine but the traditional Sangria is red wine. Just choose something cheap and tasty – yes, they do exist. Merlot would be a good choice, Burgundy might get too expensive to be worth it but if you find a good deal on it, by all means try it. Avoid Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as they’re too heavy. Zinfandel or Shiraz/Syrah probably wouldn’t work either because they tend to be spicy. You want a wine that’s fruity and light which makes Merlot perfect. Alternatively, Beaujolais, Gamay Noir and possibly a Baco Noir would work as well.
How to pick out a good bottle of red wine ,under $50.00 , without looking like an amatuer?
May 26, 2010
I recently learned of the health benefits of red wine,but I cant order any while out,because I dont want to look foolish and unsophisticated.It also comes in handy washed down with a midol for those really crappy days! .Im sick of buying wine coolers,like that cheap “Boones Farm”or “boxed wine at the liquor store.Its embarrassing!
I buy boxed wine at the store all the time. It’s not bad stuff and I use it primarily for cooking. I’m certainly not embarrassed by doing so.
As for a good bottle of red wind for under $50.00, well, ask someone. How do you look foolish if you go into a wine shop and ask the people there to do their jobs? They are the experts. Tell them what you’re looking for, and they will be glad to help. Tell them you don’t know much about wine and want to learn.
If you want to truly look foolish and unsophisticated then try to stumble through it on your own. One of my hobbies is gourmet cooking. I’ve been doing it for 35 years. Curiously enough, I’ve been buying and drinking fine wines for 35 years as well. I’m still learning, and I still ask the associate at the local wine shop for recommendations. They keep current, and when I describe something I’m cooking and am looking for a wine to pair with it, I expect them to recommend a wine that will be a good fit.
If you don’t want to ask for help, then just pick a red wine. I would recommend a cabernet/merlot blend. If you want something imported, Louis Jadot Beaujolais is a good choice. As is Rothschild Mouton Cadet. Both come in under $15.00.
But don’t be afraid to ask for help.
