On counters of modern shops the wine products are presented in wide assortment. Dry and moist, sweet and semisweet, fortified, fruit – each person can find for himself wine which will be to the taste to it. The popularity of this drink led to the fact that many unfair producers instead of a quality product palm off on consumers a substitute. Therefore if you want that on your table there was only a good wine, it is necessary to know how it can be distinguished from a fake or the spoiled goods.
Instruction
1. You look at the price. If the bottle of wine costs little very much, then it is obviously not real drink. The cost of one bottle depends on a grapes grade, on the production technology, on the range of transportation and other factors therefore too low price has to guard. Most likely, such wine is produced from second-grade raw materials and in it there are various food supplements designed to hide poor quality of a product.
2. Buy wine only in the checked shops, specialized alcoholic supermarkets, wine boutiques. In such institutions usually care for the reputation therefore it isn't favorable to sell a fake to them simply. And conditions for storage are created the most suitable.
3. Give preference to a dry wine. Its production technology is so difficult that it is difficult and unprofitable to forge it. And here sweet and semisweet wines most often actually are cheap analogs. High concentration of sugar successfully masks contents in wine of collateral ingredients. And in this case to distinguish to taste the real drink from a fake happens very difficult, only if you don't know for sure what set of an organoleptical properties the concrete type of wine has to possess.
4. Buy wine in bottles. Use of a glass container increases the final cost of a product therefore it is more favorable to many unfair producers to use cardboard packing.
5. Pay attention to the label on a bottle. On it the full name of wine, endurance, a sugar content, a vintage or table wine who and where produced wine have to be specified. Also there has to be an inscription "100% natural wine" if it is absent, then before you wine drink.
6. Taste wine. It is good if you know what taste and color it has to be. It will be easier for you to define a fake. If you have no such knowledge, then consider that the real wine leaves behind aftertaste, after powder wine it is absent. Usually counterfeit wines more dark, than presents. Good wine has a fine and pleasant aroma, and collateral smells will demonstrate that before you either a fake, or the spoiled product.
7. It is possible to check wine for authenticity, without opening a bottle. Take a bottle and sharply turn it upside down. At the bottom there has to be a deposit. If also it isn't enough of it dense, then before you good drink. If the deposit friable and it is a lot of, then it is better to refuse acquisition of such wine.
8. Pay attention to a stopper when opening a bottle. If it shrunk which turned black has a stale smell, then wine before you the present, but it was stored in the wrong conditions. Therefore, most likely, drink is spoiled, and it is better not to drink it.
9. Add to a glass with wine couple of drops of glycerin. If it falls by a bottom and there will be colourless, then a wine real. If in drink there are any extraneous impurities, then glycerin will get a yellow or reddish shade.
