The types of wine<\/a> that we enjoy depend on several factors \u2013 including the weather. The wine we drink in warmer months will differ from those we find palatable in the winter. So, if you are looking for the best autumn wine options, here are some ideas.<\/p>\n

Light red wines<\/h2>\n

During very cold weather, you might be inclined to pop the cork on a bold red. When it comes to autumn wine, however, you should opt for something a little lighter. You also want to serve this wine slightly cooler than room temperature. A light pinot noir is an excellent example of the perfect red wine for this time of year. Pinot meunier is another great option. Chill the bottle for about 20 minutes before drinking. If, for whatever reason, you chill the wine for too long, you can always allow it to warm up a little in the glass before drinking.<\/p>\n

White wine<\/h2>\n

If you are looking for a textural white autumn wine, you can serve chenin blanc or oily pinot gris are just what you want. A New Zealand pinot gris will especially tantalize your taste buds. With all those fruity and spicy notes as well smooth with a crisp finish.<\/p>\n

Off dry or bubbly<\/h2>\n

If you prefer something on the dryer side, you can serve a glass of riesling or prosecco. These are highly refreshing with enough acidity to balance out the sugars in these wines. The prosecco in particular is excellent if you are looking for an autumn wine to celebrate a specific occasion like a birthday or anniversary.<\/p>\n

Remember, when choosing any autumn wine, you also need to plan your menu accordingly. Different types of wine pair with different foods and it is important to have the right foods on your plate. If not, the wine could overpower the food or vice versa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
