Confused About the Variety of Wines

To help us curate the perfect selection for you, please choose your preferred wine category. Whether you're drawn to the bold flavors of fortified wines, the celebratory fizz of sparkling wines, or the classic appeal of still wines, your choice will guide us in creating a tailored pack just for you.

Wine colour is essential in shaping the experience. Reds are known for their rich, full-bodied flavours and often pair well with meals. Whites and rosés, with their lighter and more refreshing profiles, are perfect for enjoying on their own, without the need for food. Select the colour that best fits how you like to enjoy your wine.

European wines, such as those from France, Italy, or Spain, are often known for their rich, earthy notes and a strong sense of tradition. New World wines, from regions like Australia, California, or Chile, typically offer bolder, more fruit-forward flavours with a modern twist. Whether you prefer the complexity of Old World wines or the vibrant character of New World varieties, the region you choose will shape the overall experience.

Up to $10 - It’s affordable, but that doesn't mean it’s bad, “alcoholic,” or “powdery.” Not at all. In Spain, a bottle of good local wine can cost as little as 3 euros—a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a wine by its price tag.

Up to $20 - These are likely to be rarer and more special wines of their kind. At this price point, you may find wines aged over five years, bringing new aromas and complexities. However, sometimes the price reflects economic factors: the cost of land and labor in the USA is significantly higher than in Portugal or Russia, meaning wines of the same quality can vary in price by about 2-3 times.

Up to $50 - These are wines whose names you’ve probably heard in films or songs. They make wine lovers’ voices tremble with excitement, as they long to inhale the aroma and savor a sip of this happiness.

Over $50 - Exclusive. It’s often best to seek these wines directly in their countries of origin, but if you’re fortunate enough to find a rare gem in our stores and your wallet agrees, don’t hesitate—grab it quickly!

Dry wines have low sugar content, offering a crisp and refreshing taste. Medium-dry wines strike a balance with just a hint of sweetness. Medium-sweet wines have a noticeable sweetness that remains well-balanced, appealing to those who enjoy a touch of sugar. Sweet wines are rich and indulgent, often resembling dessert wines with their higher sugar content.

The body of a wine refers to its weight and fullness on the palate. Light-bodied wines are delicate and easy to drink, often with lower alcohol content and a refreshing feel. Medium-bodied wines offer a balance, providing more structure and complexity while still being versatile with food pairings. Full-bodied wines are rich, intense, and often have higher alcohol content, delivering a bold and powerful experience.

Up to 1 year: These wines are not intended for long-term storage, which means they will have a simple, straightforward taste. They are typically more aromatic and made for easy drinking rather than sparking deep discussions.

Up to 3 years: While similar to the “up to 1 year” category, these wines have had 2-3 years in the bottle to develop slightly more expressive flavors. However, they are not meant for extended aging; after 6-7 years, these wines will likely have passed their peak and may lose their original qualities.

Up to 5 years: These wines can be enjoyed both a year after bottling and up to five years later. Their aromas and flavors will evolve over time, with their peak generally at 4-5 years. These wines often have been aged in oak barrels, lending them noticeable notes of vanilla and pepper.

Up to 10 years: Wine generally evolves every five years, and these wines benefit from waiting for their optimal time to be enjoyed. Drinking them in the first or second year means missing out on their full potential.

Over 10 years: Exceptional grape varieties, under the best conditions, can be aged for 10, 20, even 40 years. The original quality of the grapes, the climate, and the production methods are crucial for such longevity. Proper storage is also essential; if stored correctly, a wine aged for 15-20 years can deliver an extraordinary sensory experience, with the aroma alone offering a taste of heaven.
