Get the best of both worlds, buying Wine Online   by Phil Adams-Wright

Buying wine can be either a quick choice or a more considered one, many people know what type of wine they like and will often magnetise to it when they’re in the shop or off license. Other wine lovers may opt to spend time testing new Wines and experimenting with various other regions, grape varieties and any of the myriad of factors that can affect a bottle of wine.

One of the biggest defining points with wine these days is its country of origin. Where the grapes grew and wine was stored are key contributing factors in wine production. The country of origin will normally fall under one of two categories; Old world and new world. The “old world” grouping refers to the old, traditional countries such as Spain, France and Italy which have been producing wine for centuries.

The other grouping, the “new world” are countries that have recently over the past ten or twenty years. These countries include South Africa, California and Australia. The difference between the two groups is clear, old world wines tend to be classified by their terroir, or their region, whilst new world wines are more often than not defined by their grape variety.

Some successful wine regions in the new world though are beginning to start attaching their location to the names too. Napa Valley in America and Barossa Valley in Australia have become quite prevalent these days. This can make the process of finding a particular bottle of wine slightly easier as soon all wines may end up being classified by their terroir which is something many traditional wine lovers have used for many years.

Everyone’s taste is different though, there are some wines that lend particularly well to particular dishes or cuisines but generally wine can be quite subjective and its flavour can be right up one person’s alley whilst another may not like it at all. This adds to the excitement of trying new wines with friends and family, discussing round the dinner table who liked the current bottle and who didn’t can be a great talking point.

These days importing wine from all these different countries is not the expensive or lengthy, drawn out process it may have been in the past. There are many wine importers who can guarantee a genuine bottle of any chosen variety and have it delivered to your door.

A lot of people buy groceries as well as almost all purchases via the internet these days and now wine has become one of these online purchases. The ability to go online and browse the virtual shelves for the right bottle of wine you have been searching for is invaluable to the average wine lover.

So whether you’re trying to find that bottle you had on holiday one time, or simply want to try something new then going online is the best way to find you favoured drink.

MONTANA THE SHEPHERD HIS LOVE TO A MINT A. I Serve Aminta, whiter than the snow, Straighter than cedar, brighter than the glass ; More fine in trip than foot of running roe, More pleasant than the field of flow’ring grass ; More gladsome to my withering joys that fade 5 Than winter’s sun or summer’s cooling shade. Sweeter than swelling grape of ripest wine, Softer than feathers of the fairest swan; Smoother than jet, more stately than the pine, Fresher than poplar, smaller than my span; 10 Clearer than Phoebus’ fiery-pointed beam, Or icy crust of crystal’s frozen stream. Yet is she curster than the bear by kind, And harder-hearted than the aged oak ; More glib than oil, more fickle than the wind, ’5 More stiff than steel, no sooner bent but broke. Lo ! thus my service is a lasting sore, Yet will I serve, although I die therefore. TO COLIN CLOUT.

Into a slumber then I fell, When fond imagination 10 Seemed to see, but could not tell Her feature or her fashion.
