? 1. Drinking wine needs the atmosphere of Jing Ya, and the tablecloth should be selected appropriately:

The indoor light should not be too strong, there should be no noise (including strong music and sound), the air should be fresh, and the walls should be light-colored to form a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, wine tasting should be carried out in a state of empty stomach, sensitive senses and good spirit and mood.

Red wine will show different colors depending on the origin and age of the wine, such as violet, ruby red and so on. In order to make their beautiful and pure colors appear, the choice of tablecloths is not casual. Dark tablecloths will affect the feeling of wine color, so white and pink tablecloths are appropriate.

2. Tasting utensils and ideal wine temperature:

The wine glass is an important tool for catering, which has a decisive influence on the overall aesthetic feeling of the dining table, especially on the drinking taste, so the wine glass for drinking red wine is quite particular. In terms of material, the glass used for drinking red wine must be light and transparent enough to show the true colors of the wine. The top-grade wine glass is a fine product made of crystal glass. This kind of wine glass has very high transparency and small refractive index, which is superior to ordinary glass wine glasses. In terms of appearance, drinking red wine is a variety with a narrow mouth and a wide belly. The narrow mouth is to make the aroma of wine gather at the mouth of the cup, which is not easy to escape, so as to fully taste the aroma of wine and fruit. The purpose of wide belly is to make red wine fully contact with air, and at the same time make red wine contact with more space in the cup. When tasting red wine, you should hold the high part of the glass and avoid touching the glass body to raise the temperature.

Every kind of red wine has its ideal drinking temperature. The drinking temperature of red wine is from 18℃ to 24℃. Too low temperature will suppress the fragrance and aggravate the sour and astringent taste. Excessive temperature will make the wine lose its freshness. The drinking temperature of liquor is lower, usually between 8℃ and 12℃. In this temperature range, its fresh and floral characteristics can be fully highlighted.

3. Opening the bottle and etiquette Opening the cork is an elegant and skillful action. Generally, the wine should be shown to the guests first, and the origin and year of the wine should be stated. The display surface should make the guests see the label of the wine intuitively. The most commonly used bottle opener is an auger with a wooden handle, a lever bottle opener and a butterfly bottle opener. When opening a bottle, first cut the seal with a knife from the convex part of the bottle mouth and remove the upper part. Then aim at the center and slowly screw the spiral cone into the cork, then fasten the bottle mouth, and then slowly pull up the handle smoothly to pull out the cork; When the cork is about to leave the bottle mouth, gently pull out the cork so as not to make a loud noise-try to keep quiet during the whole opening process. Open the bottle and take out the cork, let the guests see if the cork is wet. If it is wet, it proves that the bottle of wine has adopted a more reasonable preservation method, otherwise, the bottle of wine is likely to deteriorate due to improper preservation. Guests can also smell the cork, or try to drink it to further confirm the quality of the wine. Only after it is confirmed that it is correct can the wine be officially poured. In order to make the red wine smell more mellow and taste more supple when drinking, you can open the bottle in advance to let the wine breathe and breathe for a while. Its function is to make the wine slightly oxidized, and contact with air can release its fragrance better. Generally speaking, the breathing time of red wine should not exceed 3 hours, and it is best to open the bottle when drinking the aged wine for many years, so as to avoid the unique aroma of the aged wine from escaping when opening the bottle in advance.

4. Wine pouring skills and etiquette:

When pouring wine, the guests should be poured from the host's right first, paying attention to ladies and elders first. When pouring wine, everyone should be able to see the label of the wine. The wine glass is always placed on the guest's right, so the wine is poured from the guest's right. The correct pouring method is to pour red wine into the glass about 1/3, which can achieve the effect of sobering up on the one hand and avoid the embarrassment of wine overflowing when swinging the glass on the other.

5. Key points of table matching:

The drinking order of wines will affect the tasting of their quality. In order to reduce the interference caused by the first-class wine to the second-class wine, when arranging the order of tasting, it is best to arrange the lighter wine in front, and try to stay behind the slightly heavy and sweet wine. So usually white wine comes before red wine, sweet wine comes after dry wine, new wine comes before old wine, and high-alcohol wine comes after low-alcohol wine. Some appetizing vermouth and cocktails can be prepared for aperitif; Table wine varies from dish to dish, and dry red or white wine and champagne are generally used; After dinner, sweet wine, brandy and whisky are selected.
