Best Phuket Wine Restaurants

Phuket wine is now becoming a major trademark in many of Phuket’s top dining locations.

We love to enjoy good wine with a fine meal, but I often get intimidated by the wine list when it’s presented to me, why? When the waiter hands me the leather bound wine list with about 20 – 30 different types of wine from various countries with varied price tags this can get confusing.

So how do we order wine for our table? Most restaurants that have decent wine lists also have a trained staff to help you in your quest for the best wine for your meal. We often ask what wines are the best sellers and which wines partner up well with the cuisines we are leaning toward and of course which wines are in our price range.

Here is another tip. A well written wine list will include the vintage, wine producer country of origin, specific tasting notes and offer some good suggestions for ideal food pairing.

There are many other methods for choosing the best wine; these are just a few basic ones to get you going.

If you’re looking for a good selection of Phuket wine, here is a list of some Phuket dining locations that have been awarded the prestigious Wine Spectator awards.
