Step one: Wine temperature: Traditionally, the temperature for drinking red wine is cool room temperature, between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, red wines of all vintages are in their best condition. A bottle of chilled red wine will have more pronounced tannins than a bottle of red wine at cool room temperature, so the taste will be astringent.

Step 2: Decant: A bottle of fine wine has usually been sealed for many years, and there will be a peculiar smell when it is just opened. At this time, it is necessary to "awaken" the wine, and then pour the wine into an exquisite decanter. After waiting for ten minutes, the odor of the wine will dissipate. The decanter is generally required to maximize the contact surface between the wine and the air. After the red wine is fully oxidized, the rich aroma will be revealed.

Step 3: Watch the wine: The red color of red wine is enough to seduce people's hearts. When pouring red wine, the basic requirement is to hold the glass horizontally and prevent the wine from overflowing. Place a red wine glass horizontally on a white paper in a well-lit environment and look at the edge of the wine to determine the age of the wine. Those with clear layers are mostly new wines, and those with even colors are a bit older. If they are slightly brown, it may be a bottle of old wine.

Step 4: Drinking: Before drinking the wine, take a deep sniff in the wine glass. At this time, you can already appreciate the fragrance of the red wine. Then swallow a sip of red wine and let the red wine stay in your mouth for a longer time. For a moment, roll the wine twice on your tongue to allow your senses to fully experience the red wine. Finally, swallow it all, and a delicate fragrance immediately lingers in it.

Step 5: Wine sequence: A wine tasting party usually tastes more than two or three red wines in order to achieve a contrasting effect. When drinking, you should follow the principle of putting fresh food first and old food last, and light food first and strong food last.
