Fast plan

Pick a style lane before you pick a bottle.

A fast way to choose wine from a restaurant list by food, price comfort, and style clues.

1

sparkling for salty starters

Start here when you want the safest lane.

2

Sauvignon Blanc for herbs

Use when the meal, mood, or budget points this direction.

3

Pinot Noir for mixed tables

Use when the meal, mood, or budget points this direction.

4

Chianti or Rioja for tomato and roast meats

Use when the meal, mood, or budget points this direction.

Shopping cue

Ask for bright, dry, and food-friendly if unsure

Shopping cue

Choose the second or third cheapest bottle only if the region makes sense

Shopping cue

For spicy food, keep tannin low

Shopping cue

For steak, ask for structure

What to avoid

Avoid pretending price equals fit; a cheaper bottle in the right lane beats a grander bottle in the wrong lane.
