FAQs about buying wine in Hong Kong
Is expensive wine worth it?
You can expect that a $300 bottle of wine will taste better than a $100 bottle of wine, but when it comes to really expensive wine, sometimes it’s hard to tell which bottle of wine tastes better. For really expensive wine bottles, sometimes you need to truly be a wine enthusiast to appreciate the price differences.
What are the 5 most popular easy-drinking wines?Â
– Chardonnay: This is the number one selling white wine in the world. The taste itself is buttery. The grapes themselves are relatively easy to grow. They are low maintenance and adapt well to various climates; all this means that the price of chardonnay is relatively low.
– Pinot Grigio: Very popular dry white wine. The wine has acidic flavors such as lemon and lime—refreshing white wine; perfect for a hotel summer day.
– Pinot Noir: dry-lighted bodied red. The wine is very versatile. Light enough to be eaten with grilled fish but complex enough to be consumed together with heavier food.
– Rosé: rose can be produced in different ways, and it may taste dry or sweet. Many roses are a blend of more than one grape. Served chilled and best eaten with lighter food such as Asian food, seafood, or chicken.
– Cabernet Sauvignon: full-bodied red with a medium level of acidity. Dry and not sweet. You might taste vanilla as a result of the wine aging in oak barrels.
How do I close a wine bottle without a cork?
Thrown the cork away by accident? Got too ambitious and thought you’d sup the whole bottle before bed? There are solutions to preserving wine once the bottle is open and prevents that vinegary flavor from developing.
Where can I buy Boones Farm Wine in Hong Kong?
Americans may know about Boones Farm Wine, for better or worse. It’s not the type of wine we go for here at SavvyinHK, but we did some looking into it since it does come up. It turns out it’s not available here in Hong Kong. Your liver will probably be thankful! Invest in some good wine and get boozy with a decent taste instead!
What’s the most popular wine by the glass in Hong Kong? Â
It’s hard to give a definitive answer on this, but according to Mathieu Marchal, Head Sommelier, Gourmet Dining Group Limited, people in Hong Kong prefer Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay for white wine. For red wine, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are popular. Â
How do I open wine without a corkscrew?
The simple answer here is to refer you back to an earlier question! The Coravin system opens and seals your wine bottles for you; no corkscrew required ever again. The alternative ways are rather violent, such as smashing the bottle, so if you know you’ve not got a corkscrew at home, it is better to buy a screw-top wine for now. Check out this well-designed corkscrew from Alessi if you need to find a good one.
