How do you define your wine buying habits?

How do you choose a wine from the wine shop or the restaurant wine list? Are you looking for a brand name you recognize,a reasonable price or a particular varietal? Perhaps you’re looking for a wine to pair with tonight’s dinner? Are you an adventurer who is seeking a new experience with a new wine – whether it be a wine from a winery you have never heard of before, or a varietal grape or fruit wine you’ve never tried before. Perhaps you may want to try a wine from another area of the world you haven’t tried before or perhaps from a wine in your local area. Think of the “drink local movement” that is gaining popularity. For “drink local” fans, do you want a wine produced in the local area with grapes sourced from anywhere or a wine produced in the area with local grapes? There is a lot you can consider when buying a bottle of wine.

What it all comes down to is “what do you want from your bottle of wine?”
