With so many options, choosing a label or varietal at your local wine store can be a daunting process. Luckily, the staff at Universal Discount Package Store has a few tips to help you navigate the aisles. Based in Norwich, CT, the store is the area’s go-to source for an eclectic array of wine and spirits. 

Below, the Universal Discount Package Store team shares four tips to find the perfect bottle at a wine store:

• Consider Your Tastes: If you’re not sure where to start, think about what wines you’ve liked in the past. Feel free to write down names, so you remember, adding to the list when you find a new favorite. The staff can use this information as the basis for helping you pick a wine suitable to your tastes. 
• Think About the Occasion: How you plan to use the wine should also factor into your purchasing decision. For example, when pairing wine with meals, light crisp varieties are good palate-cleansing Apéritif while full-bodied wines are often served as sweet accompaniments to light desserts. Red varieties work well with red meat and pasta dishes while crisp whites accentuate the flavors of poultry and fish. 
• Try Something Different: When shopping for wine, don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. You won’t know if you like an unfamiliar wine until you’ve tried it! If you are naturally attracted to dry varieties, tickle your taste buds with something sweet. 
• Ask the Experts: You can always rely on the staff at your local wine store to provide advice. They are eager to tell customers about the latest wines on the market, and they’ll help you find the perfect wine.
