How to Choose Wine at a Wine Bar
Walking into a wine bar always feels special- soft jazz in the background, warm golden lights, and shelves full of sparkling bottles.
But when you pick up the menu, confusion hits: red, white, rosé, sweet, dry… where should you start?
At Cáliz, we believe choosing wine shouldn’t be stressful- it should be a fun, personal, and emotional experience.
Here’s a quick tip & guide to help you pick the “right” glass every time you visit a bar- even if you’re not a wine expert.
Cáliz: nơi chọn rượu vang trở thành một trải nghiệm nhẹ nhàng và đầy cảm xúc
Choose Wine by Your Mood
Forget rigid rules- wine is all about how you feel tonight.
Feeling happy and chatty? Go for a sparkling wine or a light, crisp white- refreshing, easy to sip, easy to smile.
Want a romantic, relaxing evening? Try a soft red like Pinot Noir or Merlot.
Feeling “deep chill” and craving something bold? Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah are perfect.
Tip: At Cáliz, our wine menu is curated to match every vibe. Just say: “I want a light chill tonight”- we’ve got the rest covered.
Chọn vang theo mood: sủi cho sôi nổi, trắng nhẹ cho tươi mát, đỏ mềm cho lãng mạn, đậm cấu trúc cho những đêm “deep chill”.
Ask the Bartender or Sommelier
A wine bar isn’t just about the wine- it’s also about the people behind the bar.
A knowledgeable bartender can guide you naturally without judgment, helping you discover your own taste.
Sometimes, simply describing a few preferences- like liking a light, low-tannin wine or enjoying fresh fruity flavors with a smooth finish- is enough for them to recommend the right wine.
They may also ask subtle details: do you want a wine with lower alcohol to sip longer, or one with more structure to pair with food?
At Cáliz, we don’t just serve wine- we help you understand why you love a certain glass.
Even a small tip from a bartender can open up a whole new world of flavors.

Start with Wine by the Glass
If you’re unsure, begin with by the glass options.
It’s a perfect way to explore multiple flavors without committing to a whole bottle.
At Cáliz, our by-the-glass list changes frequently, featuring exciting selections from Chile, France, Australia, and more.
Each glass is an experience- light, fun, and pressure-free.
Tip: Try two different wines in one visit- for example, a crisp white and a richer red- to notice the contrast in structure and aroma. A mini tasting that’s both chill and refined.

Notice Color, Aroma, and First Sip
You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy wine- just slow down a bit.
Raise your glass, swirl gently, inhale deeply.
Observe the color- deep red, pale yellow, or blush pink. Smell the aromas- fruit, flowers, or a hint of oak.
Take a small sip.
If it makes you smile- that’s your wine.
At Cáliz, wine is for feeling, not analyzing.
We’re here to help you trust your senses rather than follow any “rules.”

Trust Your Taste
Don’t worry about choosing “right” or “wrong.”
If it tastes good to you, it’s the right choice.
Some nights call for a fancy glass, some nights just something light and chill.
What matters isn’t the bottle- it’s who you’re with, the vibe, and how long that feeling lasts.
💬 At Cáliz, we believe there’s no perfect wine- only perfect moments.
Nhìn màu, ngửi hương, nhấp ngụm đầu - nếu khiến bạn mỉm cười, đó là ly “đúng”.
Stay Curious and Try New Things
Wine is a journey without end.
The more you try, the more you discover what you like.
Next time you visit a wine bar- especially Cáliz- try something new, ask the bartender, and let curiosity guide you.
Because in the end, wine isn’t about choosing “right,”
it’s about enjoying every moment- every sip, every vibe 🍷
