Some people are such wine snobs and know exactly what they are looking for and certainly won’t settle for anything less. They don’t flinch at the price of the bottle, even if it tops the hundred pounds mark.

Other people may choose a wine just for the colour and packaging on the bottle. I will admit that some wines do come neatly packaged, but I certainly wouldn’t choose one over another just because of the look of the bottle.

A lot of people won’t drink red wine because it gives them a throbbing headache the next morning. Perhaps this could be because they have drunk too much!!

Personally I can’t stand white or rose wine, unless it just happens to be fizzy. A favourite Spanish Wine that fits into this category is the classic Cava. I love Cava so much I actually prefer it to an expensive bottle of Champagne. If you can get your hands on a decent bottle of Vintage Cava then you really can’t go wrong. In our house it’s always a bit of a favourite when we are having a family celebration.

I also have been known to drink a glass of red. I am rather unusual in that I love my red wine served really chilled. I can hear wine snobs all around the world yelling that you can’t possibly drink red wine if it has been chilled, but that’s what I like to do and it is my choice. A nice bottle of red is a Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a beautiful Chilean Wine that tastes superb.

I will say that I am not particularly fond of French Wine. I think perhaps that’s because I’m not keen on the French full stop, so I boycott their wine!!
