Pop A Cork - Wine [334]
Which wine is best to choose?
Advice for men:
Do not offer women red wine as their first drink; they prefer white, dry or semi-sweet wines.
Advice for women:
If you want to impress the man who is inviting you, ask for a dry red Bordeaux. If I were you I would choose at least cru bourgeois.
Why such wine?
First of all, you'll astonish the guy.
Secondly, only 249 Chateu is entitled to call itself cru bougerois (of approximately 30,000 chateaus in Bordeax). This means that these wines are of guaranteed high quality and are produced and bottled in the Chateau but are not Grand Cru 1855 which are usually unaffordable.
In this way, you will certainly arouse delight or at least interest in the person inviting you. Time to try it out next time.
