There are so many kinds of wine that the best is to try some of them.
In order to help you, here are a few advices and explanations :
Rouge (red)
Blanc (white)
Rosé
Quality hierarchy :
Grand cru, millesime : high quality wine
Vin de pays : local wine from a small producer
Vin de table : use this wine only for cooking
Wine storage :
Red wine "rouge" : store and drink at room temperature.
« rosé » and « blanc » can be stored at room temperature but drink them cold.
After opening, wine keeps for a few days. In the fridge for a "blanc" or "rosé".
How to drink them ?
We usually drink rosé and blanc in summer.
When it's hot, people have apéritif with a glass of "rosé" or "blanc".
We drink sweet white wine with foie gras for example.
Red wine with red meat and cheese.
White wine "sec" with fish and seafood.
« blanc de Savoie » is very good with a « raclette » or a « fondue savoyarde » (dips of bread in
melted cheese).
Where can I buy wine ?
