Wine is different from other wines. It requires a lot of etiquette, especially at parties or cocktail parties. If you don’t know the etiquette, you will be laughed at. To become a wine guru, you need to know at least this
1. Buying Wine
There are many categories of wine, including dry red wines, semi-dry red wines, sweet wines, and semi-sweet wines. When choosing a wine, you must base your choice on your own tastes. Secondly, you should buy wine through the proper channels and not for cheap.
2. Wine Storage
You should store the wine you buy. The storage requirements for wine can be very demanding. You should avoid light, vibration, constant temperature and humidity, etc. A wine cellar is undoubtedly the most ideal space for storing wine. Wine should be stored diagonally, not upright.
3. Opening the bottle
The bottle is corked. Special care should be taken when opening the bottle. If you are not careful, the cork can be damaged or even fall into the wine, which can affect the taste of the wine. When opening the bottle, it is important to be gentle, to master the degree and to open the wine perfectly.
4、Decant the wine
The wine needs to be decanted before drinking. Decanting the wine is an extremely important process that should not be overlooked. Pouring the wine into a wine decanting vessel allows the wine to come into full contact with the air, revealing the wine’s own flavor and mellowing the taste.
5. Pouring
When pouring wine, make sure to put a towel on the bottle to prevent the temperature of your hands from affecting the flavor of the wine, then hold the bottom of the bottle and rotate the bottle to pour the wine, not exceeding half of the glass. Generally speaking, it is best to pour the wine at one-third of the time.
6、Hold the glass
When holding a wine glass, hold the wine by the glass holder or stem, not by the body of the glass, as the temperature of your palm will affect the quality of the wine.
7、Clink the glass
When drinking wine, we are used to touching the glass as a sign of courtesy. When touching wine, we should touch the belly of the glass and look at the glass.
8、Smell the wine
9、Tasting wine
Wine is not like white wine or beer. It is super cool. Wine needs to be tasted slowly. Don’t swallow it immediately at the entrance. Instead, you should feel the taste of the wine, sweet and sour, and bitter. First, put the wine in your mouth, chew and inhale it, and then stir it back and forth in your mouth. Remember, it’s around your mouth, on the sides of your tongue, on the back of your tongue, on the tip of your tongue, and extending to the base of your throat. This allows the flavor to disperse into your mouth. Once you have done this, you are ready to drink. In fact, it’s not as complicated as you might expect. As long as you understand this, you can even get started and basically have no problem handling various wine occasions.
