Hey guys, what's up? We're back with another wine video. So you want to know more about wine, but you're intimidated and you don't know where to start. In this video, I'm going to be sharing with you three simple things so that you can easily get started with wine. Okay, so number one, red or white. The easy answer to this is of course if you're going to be pairing your wine to the food, that makes things a whole lot easier. You basically pair with the color of your food, with the color of your wine. Generally speaking, you pair red wine with red meat. So if you're having beef or meat, red wine is always going to be a safe bet. If you're having some pork or dark meat chicken, red wine will still do. And for white wines, I mentioned chicken earlier, if you're dealing with the chicken breast or the lighter parts of chicken. Generally, the default is white wine. If you're having some seafood, it's white wine is also the default. As you learn more about wine, there is of course a gray area between red or white. You can sort of bend the rules depending on the wine type, but for the purpose of simplicity, we're not going to go into that. If you're going to be buying wine, not based on the food that you're having, red wine is easier to appreciate as a beginner. The flavors are more pronounced. White wine tends to be a lot more subtle, a high acidity, the souriness, something that may put people off. It's much easier to get started with red wines. It should be like iced tea. Not that it should taste like iced tea, but make some good bitterness, good citrus and sugar. So it's always a balance of these things. If one overpowers the other, then it's not a good iced tea. It's the same with wine. Okay, so number two, you're new with wine, but you don't know how much you want to spend. Well, fortunately, I have a lot of videos recommending wines at different price points for me. If you're working with a budget, actually think that 200-300 pesos. Even if it's really cheap, it's a good price range to start. In my experience, I feel like anything that I get between 200-300 and they taste really decent, I'm really happy already. Between 300-400, I think it gets a little tricky because most wines are at this price point, and it's a little harder to abstract which ones are better. If you're new, just try 200-300 pesos range first. 300-400 pesos range definitely has a lot of good wines as well, but it's going to be hidden, especially if you're new to it. I'd even skip the 400-500 pesos range because once you hit 500-600 pesos, I feel like 500-600 pesos is where wines really start to get good. Just as I said, no. It's not that if it's more expensive, it's better. It's more expensive, for a reason. A lot more care has gone into it, probably a lot more aging. So it's not a hard and fast rule that if it's more expensive, that it's a better wine because that would be too one-dimensional, but price does factor in, so these are my tips, so what you're selecting amongst the different price ranges. And number three, if you really don't know what to buy, and my previous videos haven't helped, I've included here big brands that you can get from pretty much all over the Philippines, SM, Peragold, Robinson's. These are generally your good supermarket wines that you can get started with. The first one is Hardee's, Tramas, Australia, so they have a good selection, so this is not a chill. There is Hardee's stamp also, so this is almost an empty bottle for me, and there's also Hardee's VR for right-dollar range. So Hardee's is pretty reliable, probably aren't going to be your award-winning wines or something that you're going to be aging for a long time or keeping your collection, but these wines are very dependable, definitely a good place to start. The second one is Lindements also from Australia, so this is a Lindements Cabernet Sauvignon, and previously I recommended this Lindements Cawara, probably amongst these three Lindements would be my favorite. The last one, so this is a Prêmio wine, this is from the Santa Carolina brand from Chile, this we would comprise three most dependable brands for me, so I've mentioned this before that Twines from Chile and Australia are actually very dependable because they're from the new world, they're not expensive as they're European counterparts, so if you forget these brands, or maybe these brands aren't available for some reason, going for some wines from Chile, Australia, or Argentina are always going to be a good banger. And lastly, if you want to learn more about wine, of course stick to these, one of the more popular brands, Novelino, is a sweet wine brand. I would still clear from it if indeed what you want to know is to how you can prove your knowledge about wines, because Novelino is actually a sort of pop wine, not to put it down, but if you're looking to appreciate wine, the way that probably you've seen in movies or here on YouTube, then that's not going to be helping you if knowledge and experience in different types of wine is your objective, then steer clear of that. Alright, so thanks again for watching guys, if you liked this video, please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe, if you haven't already, and I'll see you guys next time. Cheers!
