Tip 1: Determine the type of wine you're in the mood for

By deciding beforehand what type of wine you want to drink, you can search more effectively. Endless scrolling only leads to decision stress. Keep the occasion and the company in mind. Is it for a party or gathering? Opt for white wine or bubbles. If you're drinking the wine with wine enthusiasts, go for something adventurous; something you wouldn't normally drink or pair. Consider, for example, a red wine with fish.

Tip 2: Look at the flavor profile of a wine!

We have categorized our white and red wines into different flavor profiles. Under white wine, you'll find easy, mellow, and rich wines. We call light, crisp white wine easy. They are light and elegant. Think of riesling or sauvignon blanc, for example. Mellow includes dry, fruity wines. They are perfect for a casual drink, but also for dinner. Rich white wines with lots of flavor are categorized as rich. They are aromatic, rich wines that stand out, such as oaked chardonnay or a spicy viognier. Under red wine, you'll find blush, smooth, and deep. Light and elegant red wines fall under blush. They have a soft taste, low tannins, and are relatively rare. Smooth wines are soft and round. They are gentle red wines to drink on their own, but also pair nicely with a meal. The final flavor profile of red wine is deep. Deep includes full-bodied, robust wines. They are powerful and have a long, pronounced finish.
