Bottle of wine - great gift for any occasion


To give wine is an idea that is never wrong. The choice depends on, to whom the gift is made and what occasion. Is it for a wedding, engagement, Christmas wine gifts etc. At first, you must determine what response should cause the gift.
Want to make happy people? Or to surprise and perhaps create a good impression? Whatever the case, the most important thing is to give away a good quality wine, not to get the opposite effect and instead of applause, cause offense. 
 
When we select wine for man, the choice is easy. Some think that men do not like sweet wine, but actually, most of the men (no matter they don't admit it) like such wines. If it is a close friend, surely you know what he likes. However, if the gift is for your boss, the job is much more complicated. The wine must be from a good harvest, but neither very expensive nor cheap. You need to find a happy medium. 



If you give away wine to a woman, the question is even easier. You can safely buy champagne or a lightly sparkling wine. Some women appreciate good wine, they love red and white wine.
For the beloved woman – here, the things come to slightly hypocrisy - it depends what effect you want to achieve, and if you hope the lady to drink of the wine that evening, you can prepare something that will act as an aphrodisiac, for example heavy red wine.
In any case, the wine is a great choice for a gift, which must be served with lots of love and smiles.

Right Champagne or Champagne Gift

Today we will talk about the good champagne and we'll give you some suggestions and tips about how to choose the right champagne or champagne gift. First, one clarification - the popular name "champagne" for sparkling wines, in some places (countries) is wrong. First - champagne are called only wines from the Champagne region in France.
Second - the so-called champagne is made in a complex and time-consuming classical technology, which after some maturing of the wine is added sugar and it ferments for a second time in the bottle, it is naturally aerated, multiple procedures are performed, rotation of the bottles from different angles, cooling to clear etc. The complex operations make the best wines of champagne as "Dom Perignon."
Short dictionary of the inscriptions on the label:
  • Dry - (English)
  • Semi dry - (English)
  • Sec - (French)
  • Trocken - (German)
  • Dolce - (Italian)
  • Prosecco – (Italian)
Brut - dry (the term for "dry" is used specifically for sparkling wines). As dry wines are defined, low sugar content (up to 5 g per liter). The more sugar content (grape or additionally inserted) in a wine, it is called semi-dry, semi-sweet, sweet.

Top 5 world champagnes:

  • Louis Roederer's Cristal Champagne - One of the best sparkling wines with resistant golden color with shimmering green light flashes and incredibly enjoyable active bubbles. Very beautiful, delicate nose, starting with dominant aromas of fresh almonds and sweet smell of flowers, revealing the beautiful shade of juicy peaches, white chocolate, caramel and toasted hazelnuts lightly dusted. The taste is full and sensual, caressing the lips.

     
  • Dom Perignon - Nose: One of the best sparkling wines with resistant golden color. This wine is full of life, with a fresh nose that dances through a spiral of aromas, blending hints of angelica, dried flowers, pineapple, coconut, cinnamon, cocoa and tobacco . Palate: With fullness in the mouth, it is earthy, smoky, the pearl complexity rises to the surface, highlighted by the spirited warmth of peppery spice. The sensation of intensity develops and melts into a deep, bright heart, fruity, exotic maturity and a slight touch of anise.
  • Krug - One of the exceptionally greatest drinks. Perhaps the biggest name in Champagne, which produces big, rich wines can live for many years in the bottle. The composition of this legendary cuvee is stunning - a mosaic of flavors, a blend of three grape varieties picked from set 20 to 25 years old Cru vineyards that form complex cuvĂ©e from 6 to 10 different crops - Grand Cuvee.
    Henri Krug: "Krug Grand Cuvee is as a symphony, a composition where all the instruments play together, accompanied each other in total harmony"
  • Pommery - Color: Gold with shades of green almond
    Nose: Games and delicate aromas of acacia and lime
    Taste: Soft Fruit, with long flavors tsvezhi
    Very delicate and fresh champagne, suitable for summer aperitif to Gryuyer, Comte Guzher accompanied with carrot sticks and radish, ham or seafood.
  • Veuve Clicquot - Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label - With vivid and provocative style, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label filled with thrill vibrant life full of elegance, presumption and passion. Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. With so pleasant aroma: initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then vanilla, and finally - a toasted muffin. Note the good balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the warm aroma produced by aging in bottle. The first sip supplies all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit flavors. This constant power to delight makes it ideal as an aperitif, and perfect champagne with which to enjoy seafood or fish. 

    - Veuve Clicquot – La Grande Dame - La Grande Dame is the ultimate expression of the search for perfection by Madame Clicquot . It is made only in exceptional years. Grapes of eight of the top-ranking Grands Crus. Matures in the wine cellar over six years. Incarnation of the style of Veuve Clicquot, rich, golden and shining color, accentuated by a fine effervescence. Sweet and precious scents. Rich, fruity taste. Infinitely deep and silky texture. Clean and endless finish.
