Which wine to taste and give during the Christmas holidays?


Nine out of ten Italians will spend Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner at home with family and friends and there are various culinary and wine offering many Italian tables.
There is nothing better than showing up appointment with the bottles to give to hosts or to be opened for guests.  For Coldiretti then Italian families spend 197 € for food and wine during the holidays (+2.1%) and won the Made in Italy because it demonstrates the strong relationship with the territory, 'has an economic value and create local wealth'.

Entering into Italian homes each region has a rich table made of local products and therefore also different excellences.


Italian Wine concludes some recommendations for beginners:

- The first: if you do not oriented as in the  basket of labels that luckily our peninsula offers, ask for advice on your wine ENOTECA. You'll spend a bit more than the supermarket but you will have a sure guide to choosing the right bottle. Then it will be even more fun to just choose the wine on the shelves of supermarkets and, after being selected, ask the sommelier on duty.
- The second: if you have at home a nice bottle, don't  let it age too, you do not need the great opportunity to taste some good wine. Indeed, even a large bottle if not perfectly preserved, may be damaged, because it should be kept horizontal, not exposed to light and temperature changes. When in doubt,  preserved only a few years the reserve wines with great structure, never the white or sparkling wines.
- The third and not in order of importance is to buy, give and always taste the wine that we like because, regardless of the advice from the experienced on duty, friend or newspapers, remember that "what we eat and drink that we are "but above all each of us has his own personal taste.

Good wine and Happy Holidays from Enoteca Italiana!
