Where Everyday Drinking Wines grows best
Everyday Drinking Wines reaches its highest expression in all the great everyday-wine regions: Côtes du Rhône, Beaujolais, Chianti, Spanish reds and Portuguese reds. Climate, soil and tradition all shape the way the grape tastes in glass. The cooler the site, the more delicate and aromatic the wine; the warmer the site, the richer and more concentrated the fruit. The best producers work with vineyards that suit the variety's natural personality rather than fighting it.
How to drink Everyday Drinking Wines
Serve red Everyday Drinking Wines at the right temperature — 60–65°F (15–18°C) for medium to full-bodied styles, slightly cooler for lighter examples. Use a generous bowl glass that gives the aromatics room to develop. Decant fuller styles 30–60 minutes before drinking to soften the tannins and release the fruit.
