Red Wine?

[LongPhi]

Hi guys, hope your first day of the week went well

I noticed there are many topics about rum and whisky, sadly i'm more into wine. As I will have my wage by the end of this month, Yay !!, after paying rent and stuff I reckon I will have a bit left to top up my humidor and get some wine. Can you guy give me some recommendation of which red wine is good ? well not those crazy expensive bottle as it will be a waste for a newbie like me ,and if possible what is your favorite cigar to go with it?

Thanks guys

I'm finding at the moment that Malbec is consistently a good bottle of wine to go for. Works well with a trini Reyes.

I would think this thread will throw up a lot of different options as wine probably even more than whisky & rum is very varied in taste.

Good luck mate

I think Eggboy is right, you'll get a multitude of opinions on this one.

But recently I've found any half decent supermarket Rioja is a good match with RyJ Short Churchills.

I know, I just curious what everyone favorite and may be I can base on it and find mine ? . So far I've tried bottle of Shiraz Malbec, and it works just fine with my NC's
Thanks

LongPhi my advice would be to get yourself the latest issue of Decanter magazine, which this month is their Wirld Wine Awards issue were they've given awards to hundreds of bottles from all over the world, both bottles under and over ?10, so your bound to be able to find something new that's enjoyable.Secondly, give the big supermarkets a miss, in my opinion they sell mostly crap wine, try an independent retailer or even some of the bigger off-license chains like oddbins or Majestic do better bottles.Let u's know how you get on?

Just had a look over the decanter website. It seem quite interesting, thanks for the advices Gary

Wine is an alcohlic bevrage, made of fermented fruit juice, usually from grapes The natural chemical balance of grapes lets them ferment without the addition of sugar,acid, or other nutrients Grape wine is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast. Yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes and converts them into alcohal. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different types of wine.

Wines made from other fruits, such as apples and berries, are normally named after the fruit from which they are produced and are generically called fruit wine or country wine and , are made from starch-based materials and resemble beer and spirit more than wine, while ginger wine
is brandy . In these cases, the term "wine" refers to the higher alcohol content rather than the production process The commercial use of the english word "wine" (and its equivalent in other languages) is protected by law in many jurisdictions.
