How to choose your wine in 9 ?

There has been 11 years in 9 since the 1900s and the 12^th one is fast approaching. If you have a friend, relative or partner whose birthday is just around the corner, marking the occasion with a bottle of wine to celebrate his or her decade is a creative idea, especially for a wine lover.

Synonym of conviviality, authenticity and celebration, you can be sure not to disappoint ! As long as you choose wisely... How will you do so ?

Bordeaux ? Bourgogne ? Vallée du Rhône ? Foreign wine ? Red or white wine ? There are many choices and that can be disarming. How will know if you made the right choice among all these high-quality vintages ?

It seems obvious that knowing the person's preferences should influence your choice. After all, red wine often resonates well with this kind of event.

Certain Bordeaux, Bourgogne or Vallée du Rhône appellations will satisfy a classic wine lover who will be delighted to receive a vintaged Pomerol, Margaux, Vaqueyras, Chateauneuf du Pape..etc. A foreign wine, however, will create a surprise, as will a vintaged whisky or rum. Same goes for a fine cuvée of Champagne.
