How Do You Order A Decent Wine?
• Decide what you’re going to eat. Certain wines complement meals better than others. Reds goes well with beef, and heartier meals; whites go well with fishes, chicken and light pastas. • Expect to pay more for a better wine; wine prices are set by wine connoisseurs who know what they’re doing, much like stock prices reflect stock brokers value of a stock. Given this it’s not always prudent to order the cheapest bottle on the menu however there is no reason to break the bank either. Usually a low to moderately priced wine will meet most needs at a restaurant. Save the really expensive stuff for special occasions. Ask your server for their recommendation. Higher end restaurants will often advise their wait staff on what wines complement each meal. If they seem dumbstruck by your request, ask them to check with the chef as to what they would recommend with your meal. Ask questions and follow other’s advice.
