The results are in, Australia has a love affair with wine. Having a glass with dinner after a tough day at work. Taking a bottle as a gift to a dinner party or collecting wine as an investment are just some of the reasons that sales of Wine in Australia are on the rise.

When you first start drinking wine it can be hard to choose one. They all look the same to the un-initiated. Do I buy the $15 bottle or the $50 bottle. Some wine connoisseurs have provided the following tips.

Picking a good bottle of wine:

• If you are new to wine, start with a white or rose.
• Think of other flavours you enjoy.
• Consider the occasion.
• Read the label— and learn what you’re reading.
• Don’t stress over the age of the wine.
• A high price doesn’t always mean it’s the best.
• Balance. When a wine is in balance, none of the components of acidity, tannin, alcohol, or fruit stand out as the main event.
• Smell.

Some more tips from said connoisseurs.

How to drink Wine:

• Red wine: Room temperature or a touch below. Don’t be afraid to put your reds in the fridge for a few minutes before opening.
• White wine: For whites with roundness and richness, it’s helpful to let them warm up in the glass as you drink.
• Champagne, sparkling wine, and rosé: Ice cold.

Once you have made your choice the issue is where do you keep it. There are so many wine fridges in the market and they all come with a price. Then there is the issue of how much space the fridge takes. If you choose to store it at home on a wine rack then there is a chance that the wine can spoil. Do not store it on top of the Fridge. The temperature and the vibration from the Fridge will spoil the wine.
