When it comes to wine, a lot of people in the know will already have their preferences and so it can be difficult to work out what is right for you.
And while the best way to find out is tasting a bit of this and a bit of that, an expert has revealed a little-known label detail that could inform your choice.
Carlos Santos, the Wine and Operations Manager for Humble Grape, told the Mirror to look out for the country the wine comes from - and that it's worth avoiding established names.
The expert explained: "So regions of wines to look for... I would initially skip the famous regions if you don't know them really well, such as Bordeaux or Burgundy, but I would definitely look out for up-and-coming regions, such as Eastern Europe.
"It's also worth looking at wines made a little closer to home, in places such as Portugal.
"Portuguese red wines, especially those from central Portugal, tend to be absolutely delicious and are often great value for money because the region isn't so famous that they don't have to command a higher price."
The expert also warned people not to be taken in by 'celebrity wines', assuming they are better because they have a big name behind the drink.
"Celebrities getting their own wine brands is fun and if you get the chance to drink a wine made by one of your favourite celebrities, that's great - but is it better?" the expert asked.
"It doesn't really matter, because the best one is the one that you like, so if you have fun drinking those wines, please go ahead and do that. But having a celebrity name behind wine is not necessarily a sign of quality."
