Shopping strategy

By-the-glass lists are about freshness, food fit, and avoiding the wrong style.

How to choose by-the-glass wine without overpaying or guessing blindly.

1

sparkling for starters

Start here when you need the safest lane.

2

Sauvignon Blanc for herbs

Use when the shelf makes this the stronger value.

3

Pinot Noir for mixed plates

Use when the shelf makes this the stronger value.

4

Chianti for tomato

Use when the shelf makes this the stronger value.

Inspect before buying

  • Ask what was opened today
  • Match sauce before protein
  • Keep tannin low with spice
  • Use sparkling for salty food

What to avoid

Avoid the biggest red by the glass if you are eating seafood, salad, spice, or cream.
