Will you be headed to the “wine wall” at your favorite retailer to select some wines for your holiday meals? Are you overwhelmed with all of the selections?
Over the centuries, major wine districts in France and Germany have developed unique bottles to help consumers recognize the grapes and wines grown in their regions. Contemporary wine producers everywhere use those same colors and shapes for wines made in traditional European styles. This means a bit of bottle savvy can help a shopper select a perfect wine from among the myriad of options offered on a typical retail shelf.
