You don't have to be an aficionado to get the most out of wine, but a little bit of wine know-how can help you to enjoy it all the more. Here are some top wine tips from one of the leading independent , Best Cellars (), which could help broaden your wine horizons.
1) Ignore the wine snobs. While there is less snobbery about wine than there used to be, there are still those that like to cloak it in mystery, but there is no need. You don't need to sniff, slurp and regurgitate wine like a professional wine taster or confidently describe the nuances of a wine. Just trust your instincts and go with what you enjoy.
2) Open your mind and don't be afraid to experiment. People can be intimidated by the world of wine (unless they follow the advice in tip one!) which can stop them straying into unknown wine territory. If they don't know much about wine, they feel they should stick with what they know and like. Trusting your instincts is great, but don't limit yourself. The world of wine is open to all and the internet can give you a huge amount of easily accessible information on grape varieties, how to taste wine, which wine complements certain foods and information on wines from around the world. A little bit of knowledge can give you the confidence to choose wines from regions you have never tried before.
