Wine doesn't have to intimidate newcomers. Learning about wine is not complicated, but what matters most is enjoying it. Therefore, the process of discovering wine should include finding the tastes, wine types, and aromas that you personally like. I decided to blog about wines for beginners, thinking that this is something very useful and that you might appreciate it.

We were all beginners at some point, so remember how you felt when you started using wine? How did you learn about it? A lot of people don't know what to start with...

Wine is one of my favorite topics, particularly after I had my first glass of red at 23 years old. I wasn't feeling good the day before but decided to screw it, time to loosen up with some wine after work. The fact that I never got sick was a nice surprise, but the hangover the next day was not the prettiest sight to see. Thankfully, despite my wine-induced misery, I fell in love with wine.

The word about wine has been spreading worldwide for a while. Why is that? Simple. Wine is good for you! And if you don't believe that any longer, then I guarantee you will change your mind once you finish reading this article.

The following are some of the top wines in the US to try if you are just starting out.

1. White Wine

Everyone should be able to enjoy the simplicity of white wine, refreshing beverage. If you know about wine but feel a little intimidated to try something new then white wine is a perfect start. Perfect for celebratory occasions, casual meals, and everyday dinner, these crisp and refreshing white table wines are sure to please any wine lover no matter their experience level. White wine is a great way to discover new flavors.

2. Dessert Wine

This wine is perfect for newbies to the dessert wine category. Backpackers, campers, and anyone else who wants an accessible wine will love this one. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet, fruity, spicy, rich, or delicate, dessert wines are sure to please. With flavors ranging from caramel and butterscotch to honey, apricots, and pears, dessert wines are sweet on the palate, rich with flavor, and designed to be enjoyed with desserts.

3. Red Wine

For the person who wants to begin exploring wines (and doesn't know where to start), the red wine is perfect for you, This wine has a lightness that makes it perfect for anyone looking to explore the world of reds, yet its flavors and complexity will be satisfying.

4. Sparkling Wine

The sparkling wine is perfect for beginners, and is equivalent to many expensive wines. Sparkling wine is the least complicated option for absolute beginners. If you are looking to taste sparkling wine without its extra sugar, be ready for an aggressive aftertaste. However, it has a short life. This kind of wine is made with the carbonic process and is also known as champagne. Most use sparkling wine for special occasions, yet it doesn’t have to be that way. Sparkling wine can be exciting, easy to drink, and budget-friendly. Sparkling wine provides what most people want in a glass of wine, making it great for beginner drinkers.

5. Fortified Wine (Sherry)

Many people worry about drinking wine, or drinking it to excess, but the truth is that there is no need to consume an entire bottle every night. Fortified Wine is just as delicious, and can be just as healthy if consumed in moderation. It's often the first type of wine that people try outside of France or Italy where it originated. That's because it's sweeter than other types of wine, making it less daunting to beginners. So next time you are at your local wine shop you may want to consider what could be one of the most perfect wines for beginners.

Conclusion:

When you've tried each of these five wines, you'll have enough experience and context to branch out and try new things. Its endless variety makes it a great place to explore. I Hope You Enjoy It. In the end, learning about wine by tasting is the first and best step to beginning your journey!
