Favorite Summer Wines

Quickly grabbing a bottle of wine before heading to the park or firing up the barbecue sounds easy. But as soon as you’re standing in front of the supermarket shelf, things can start to get a little dizzying. Fortunately, Albert Heijn makes it a lot more manageable with its AH Wine Market.

Summer wines

The supermarket has selected a number of summer wines that are on sale until Monday, June 5. But what we especially like are the guidelines they provide when buying wine. Are you looking for a wine for drinks, a picnic or a barbecue? With an easy-to-use chart, you’ll quickly find the right wine.

FavorFlav’s favorites

Our favorites? The Rueda (Verdejo) is floral and works well as an aperitif wine or with a salad. Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay has a typical Chardonnay flavor with oak aging and is delicious with barbecue. Especially for summer, AH developed the playfully named ZoMerlot in collaboration with La Tullipe. Juicy, with lots of red fruit, and easy to keep drinking—a perfect aperitif wine.

Your favorite

Use the chart to find out which one is your favorite. In the categories drinks, picnic and barbecue, three options are provided for each. Are you barbecuing and looking for a light wine? Or having drinks and looking for a fuller-bodied wine? Follow the arrows on the chart, and you’ll end up with the wine that perfectly suits the occasion.
