The pain is that it always wants to drink a good wine, regardless of the euro course. But prices are growing, and the toad at the sight of the usual Chianti has already been stitching more and more. Our friends from Invisible wrote how to drink in a crisis and how wine to stockday on a black day.
Buy thoughtful
In each segment there are successful wines and not very, even among Bordeaux for 3000. So do not hesitate to learn all the shelves in the store, including the bottom - there are the most democratic bottles. And at the level of the eyes, it is necessary to sell faster, the price / quality ratio is not taken into account.Keep in mind : 500 rubles - Lower planka for foreign wines, and 300 - for Russians. Do not look at all that is cheaper - if it is not special or action. Need red - take the wine to 3 years, and white or rose is no longer older than you, they are better to drink fresh-young. And yes, pull the bottle from the far row, and not the one that has long stood under the lamps. Well, the Captain Council is an obviousness - google from the phone of wine in which you are not sure and read the reviews on it at Cellertracker.
Watch out for stocks
Sometimes networks like the "intersection" up to 50% reduce the prices of decent wine. In wine stores, there are also successful promotions and sales. Just check the appearance of the bottle and her year - suddenly you "merge" a dye white 5-year old or red with a semi-prestitious cork. If everything is in order and the Internet about this bottle reassured you - then the profit is right, take.
Remember about the new light
Wines of the new light brighter, cheer and like everyone, from Pankov to exemplary accountants. Bordeaux or Chianti is a brand, we overpay for it, while the local manufacturers are no longer always concerned. We are confident - the first reputation will save, and the demand will not weaken. The new light is manifested in good faith much more often that in combination with a gentle price tag is terribly pleased. Well, if you just want Europe, but the finances are modest - try the non -paph regions: for example, apuliation or brand in Italy and South West or Gascon in France.Take the wine box
If you have a favorite wine, take it immediately with a box (it's a case) - most shops will give him a decent discount, percentage of 15-25. Riding the box under the bed and whisper at night: "My Pre-E-Yelest".

Try Russian wine
First, it is really nice and interesting. In Russia and Europe, the ratio of good and not very wine is not much different, we are simply less than wine and we are at the very beginning of the road. And secondly, listen: Krasnostop Anapa, doves, Sibirtic - a tough, as the price (average level - 400-700 rubles.)
Drive notes
Swing the Vivino application and write there about wines, which are trying. What was not impressed, from what friends were singing, after which bottle you exceeded the work plan. So you will understand what wine you like, and you will spend more sight - and therefore avoid unnecessary costs. For the aesthetes and those who do not quotes gadgets, there are still Moleskine "Passions Wine Journal".Use connections
Make friends with someone who understands fault. Such a person will help, and even better - if he has acquaintances in the wine industry (that is, access to discounts, etc.). All these sales managers, of course, try to bother you that they are profitable, and your tastes do not worry. But the discount, if you already know what to take, always come in handy.
Go to visit
Wine. Just do not forget to give the owner at least a cake from Starbax - so as not to pour some "whisper of the monk".
Order in the restaurant with the mind
In the crisis, the bourgeois costume is removed into restaurants with their wild marquee. But if still listed - we take the Second Cheapest Wine in the map. Dear wines are overvalued, the cheapest next morning will be cursing, and the step is the other above there are quite decent options. Still, your goal is to drink food, and not fight in ecstasy.Be friends with rich and generous
Well, or with wine critics that all try for free.
