Flavours

With all the many different wines available to us today, it can be a daunting task to decide which one to buy. However, although packaging, price and reputation are all factors in making a choice, when it comes down to it, you need to buy a wine for its flavour.

We've divided up the thousands of flavours found in wines into 12 broad style categories, from crisp, neutral whites all the way through to fruity, juicy reds. So, even if you don't know anything about grape varieties or wine regions, you can simply choose a wine style, and we'll guide you through the types of wine that are available to you.

This is also a chance for you to try something new; if you currently only buy toasty, buttery Chardonnay, you might like to branch out and try something from the perfumed, exotic whites, such as spicy Gewurztraminer. Keep coming back to this flavour guide whenever you fancy trying something new ...
