Ten tips for buying wine in discount stores
1. Good wine does not have to be expensive, but not too cheap either. At less than four euros per bottle, you might be skeptical and wonder if the price is worth the decent wine produced.
2. Prizes on offer bottle guidelines. After all, professionals tasted these wines and judged them to be good.
3. In the case of German wines, the official approval number (AP-No, label) offers orientation. It is found on every quality wine label and is a guarantee that the wine is sensory correct.
4. Pay attention to how the wine is presented: he hands Piabet carelessly, maybe it is under constant flashing lights? Are the bottles dusty? Then you better leave it.
5. Play wines from the lowest shelves, experts call it “Bückzone”. Here are the cheapest wines, often of dubious origin, as well as a dust collector and storekeeper.
6. Speaking of pick-up keepers: For the most part, supermarket wines are meant for instant enjoyment, not necessarily. Mainly white and pink wines should be young and fresh, no older than two years (black four years). You should ensure that the young cohorts – seniors are useful only in high quality wines. The last two digits of the AP-No (see point 3) indicate the year of filling. If there is, say, “15” for white wine, the wine is already three years old. Rather let him lie down. For red wines in the supermarket, they must not be older than four years.
7. Sometimes the rest of the bottles are offered at good prices – here, beware! Sometimes the wines from below are old white (see point 6) or red wines, placed in a mature stage, in which they are undissolved.
8. A well-designed label says nothing about the quality of the wine. You can’t hide.
9. There are special wine guides that specialize in testing wines from super markets, even newspapers occasionally offer this service and provide relevant information to the network. Be careful when such concrete tests and reviews are outdated recommendations will not help you.
10. Even if a special offer or bargain seems so tempting: Before buying an entire case of a certain wine, you should take the bottle home with you and try the wine itself.
