You\u2019ve browsed our store and you have half a dozen tabs open. Every single one goes to an Italian wine that you\u2019re thinking about buying. All of these wines sound delicious and you\u2019d happily buy all of them\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But your bank account isn\u2019t going to allow for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to make a choice. You\u2019ve got to figure out which wine to buy and you\u2019re struggling. What if you make the wrong choice? What if you let the perfect wine slip through your fingers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment and breathe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re going to give you the golden rules for buying a bottle of Italian wine. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With these rules at hand, you can feel confident in any purchase that you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s kick things off with\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask Yourself \u201cWhat\u2019s the Occasion?\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why are you buying this particular bottle of wine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an important question because the decision you make will differ depending on the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re buying for yourself then your job just became a bit easier. After all, you hopefully already know what you like and what you\u2019re not so keen on. That should help you to figure out which wine on your shortlist should make the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re buying for somebody else, you\u2019ve got to know what they like. Hopefully, you\u2019ve had a chance to gather some information or they\u2019ve told you about a particularly variety that they enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019re buying for a group occasion, like a party or dinner with friends, the rules change all over again. Now, you\u2019re not buying something for one person. You\u2019re buying something that has to satisfy a large group of people, all of whom have different tastes. In these circumstances, it\u2019s generally best to select a popular wine, rather than one that has the potential to be divisive or overly-complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask an Expert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking for something new but don\u2019t know where to start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not ask an expert?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re shopping in a physical wine shop, take a few minutes to ask the owner what they think you will enjoy. Come ready with a description of the types of wines that you usually enjoy and they may be able to point you towards something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re shopping online, there\u2019s a wealth of information at your fingertips. Check out the descriptions from the manufacturer and vendor. Read up on reviews and find out what people think about the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you know, the more likely it is that you\u2019ll make a purchase that suits your tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Don\u2019t Have to Spend a Lot to Get Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The idea that only expensive wines are worth your time is one of the biggest misconceptions in the world of wine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, wines that carry a heftier price tag come with a certain level of prestige. Plus, you can feel assured that they are of a good quality because they wouldn\u2019t be able to justify the price if they weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a wine that costs a little less isn\u2019t automatically bad by comparison. In fact, there are many Italian wines that cost less than \u20ac30 that are acclaimed by experts all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point we\u2019re making is that you don\u2019t have to assume that you\u2019ll spend a ton to get a good wine. That means you don\u2019t have to automatically disregard anything that falls under a certain price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Honest About Your Budget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sticking with the money theme, have you ever spent more than you would on a bottle of wine in a restaurant because you felt like you had to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, have you ever felt nervous about asking questions about a bottle of wine based on your budget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple advice here is that you shouldn\u2019t let budget issues stop you from asking questions. Practically any decent seller, be it online, in a wine shop, or in a restaurant, will want you to find the best possible wine based on how much you can spend. Don\u2019t worry about making some sort of bad impression just because you don\u2019t have hundreds to drop on a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think About What You\u2019re Eating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve spent plenty of time talking about great Italian wine and food pairings on this blog so we think you\u2019ve gotten the message by now\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your wine choice could make or break the meal that you\u2019re planning on having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could buy the best wine in the world and it would lose much of its charm of combined with the wrong type of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When buying wine, think about how the flavour profile stacks up against the food that you\u2019re thinking of eating. You want them to complement each other, rather than clash against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Check the Label<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wine\u2019s label tells you a lot about what\u2019s inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, you\u2019ll be able to get the name of both the wine and the producer. This gives you a great starting point for your research. The label may also contain notes about what you can expect from the wine\u2019s flavour profile. Plus, you\u2019ll want to find out if it carries DOC or IGT certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond this, there\u2019s another reason to check the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re looking for signs of counterfeit wines. Even the most reputable vendors can occasionally get duped by counterfeiters. A quick scan of the label for things like spelling errors may be just what you need to prevent you from buying a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s one more golden rule for buying Italian wine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many options available to you that you can get joy from the mere process of exploring the world of Italian wine<\/strong>. And sure, you may occasionally grab a bottle that doesn\u2019t work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you may also find something that\u2019s better than you ever expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
