When To Drink Which Wine

It has been proven time and again that the price of the wine doesn’t dictate better quality. This would imply that knowledge of wine is a better asset in shopping for wine than a big budget.  Use this information to buy wine smart and to know when it is a good idea to break out the pricier bottles.  Be adventurous and try new brands to find value priced diamonds in the rough and look for these trusted names when next shopping for a value bottle of wine, if wine from a certain vineyard was good once than it should remain of good quality.  This doesn’t mean though that an inexpensive bottle will be good from a brand that has excellent but high priced wine.  Before too long though it will be easy to find wine gifts with a bottle of wine to go with, no matter the price range. 
                But when is it okay to serve these value find wines and when is it a good idea to dust off that treasure? Well ask this: would the guests enjoy a new wine or would they be offended that they weren’t offered the best? Can the guests or person to receive the gift enjoy a good wine? IF they are willing to try new things than it may be more fun to show off that steal of a wine that no one else would think to get because it was under $30.
