Light red wine is everywhere right now\u2026 and that\u2019s no coincidence. Fresher, easier to drink, and truly versatile, it appeals to red wine lovers as well as those who usually swear by white wine. <\/p>\n\n

With the arrival of Nordiq Camp de Base<\/a> at the SAQ\u2014the ultimate<\/em> light red\u2014here are five good reasons to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n

1. Yes, it’s best served chilled.<\/p>\n\n

Well… almost.<\/p>\n\n

Let your bottle chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. A light red wine, when well chilled, becomes even more vibrant, fruitier, and frankly more refreshing. <\/p>\n\n

2. White wine lovers love it.<\/p>\n\n

If you often find red wines too heavy, start here.<\/p>\n\n

This light red wine offers the berry aromas of a red wine, combined with the freshness and smoothness we love so much in a good white wine.<\/p>\n\n

3. It’s the king of chords.<\/p>\n\n

Pizza, grilled chicken, Asian cuisine, mildly spicy dishes\u2026 even sushi.<\/p>\n\n

Since it is low in tannins, this light red wine complements dishes without ever stealing the show.<\/p>\n\n

4. That’s what Quebec is for.<\/p>\n\n

Our climate naturally produces fresh, light, and delicious red wines. This is a style of wine in which Quebec winemakers excel, and one that beautifully expresses our northern terroir. <\/p>\n\n

5. The SAQ has even created a category for it.<\/p>\n\n

Look for \u201cRed wines to serve chilled\u201d in stores or on the SAQ website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

It’s a great way to discover this new generation of red wines, whether they come from Quebec, Austria, Germany, Spain\u2026 or elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n

In short, if you think you don’t like red wine, there’s a good chance you’ve simply never tried a light red. And if you’re looking for a place to start, we just happen to know a certain “Base Camp” \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
