How to drink red wine is correct.
First, the preparation work before drinking red wine
Generally, red wine is placed horizontally, and the cork will decompose and produce sawdust when soaked for a long time. Stand up the day before drinking and let the sawdust settle on the bottom of the bottle.
Red wine can't be drunk with ice, nor can it be put in an ice bucket like champagne. The optimum drinking temperature is 15- 17℃. Zhuhai can drink it directly in winter; It is best to put it in the freezer in summer, take it out one to half an hour before eating, open the bottle first, put it aside and slowly sober up, so that the temperature can rise together.
Second, the four steps of wine tasting
After opening a bottle, red wine will "breathe" for a period of time and be oxidized to reach the drinking period. In the future, the servant will pour about a sip of wine into the cup. What we are going to do now is "wine tasting", and the process of wine tasting is as follows:
Smell the cork: the servant takes out the cork and lets you smell the cork. The fruit aroma is rich, the wine aroma is rich and there is no peculiar smell, which can further confirm the quality of the wine. When it's correct, you can let him pour the wine.
Wine viewing liquid: the wine outside the mature wine is brown and the wine inside is dark. Inexperienced wines are mostly purplish red. If they are brick red, it is wrong.
Smell the wine: Young wine still has the taste of fruit, while old wine has a compound taste.
Tasting: Take a sip of wine and spin around your tongue. Young red wine tannins are new and astringent, and will soften with time. When wine is used in a restaurant, the results of wine inspection are satisfactory, which can imply that servants continue to pour wine. If you are not satisfied, you can show the servant that you don't accept it.
Third, no, pour the last drop of wine.
There must be sawdust at the bottom of the old wine bottle. Even after three or five years, some of them have sawdust. Therefore, be careful when pouring wine. In addition to not shaking the bottle, leave a little on the shoulder of the bottle when you finish pouring it. It is not correct to turn the bottle upside down when trying to pour the last drop of wine.
Fourth, it is very important to sober up.
After opening a bottle of red wine, let it stand for 15 minutes to 1 hour according to the type, quality and complexity of the wine, and let it "breathe" with the air for chemical interaction. If you pour directly into the glass (not more than one third of the glass capacity), you can shake the glass to speed up the probability of wine contacting with air. It is recommended to order wine before ordering in a restaurant, and let the waiter open the wine to sober up. You can read the menu slowly, eat the first bowl and drink soup, and when the main course comes, the wine will soon wake up.
Health preservation method of red wine
Wine nourishes five zang-organs
Yin-yang and five elements are one of the theoretical foundations of traditional Chinese medicine. There are gold, wood, water, fire and earth in nature, and the human body corresponds to the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney; Because man is a part of nature, he should also follow the laws of various transformations of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
There are many kinds of wine with rich nutrition. It has nourishing effect on five internal organs, mainly entering spleen, lung and kidney. The normal governance and regulation of human body depends on the healthy function of lung. According to Huangdi Neijing, the essence of what people eat goes to the lungs first, and then the lungs transport these substances to the five internal organs and limbs, which benefits the whole body. Kidney is more important. Because the kidney hides human essence and vitality. Essence is equivalent to the nutrients and the most essential things in blood, and blood sends these essence to all parts of the human body; The importance of vitality is even clearer. You have to have vitality if you are alive. Spleen, lung and kidney regulate the whole human body and control the quality and transportation of blood.
Among the five internal organs, the kidney is the root of yang and the spleen is the source of yang biochemistry. People with this constitution can drink alcohol to replenish qi and blood, regulate mood, relieve neurasthenia and resist fatigue. Especially women who drink red wine for a long time can get rid of the trouble of palace cold.
Drinking red wine often has many benefits, such as delaying aging, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, preventing cancer and beautifying. Among them, the latter is the most concerned by women. Grape pulp for brewing red wine contains super antioxidant, in which SOD can neutralize free radicals produced by the body, protect cells and organs from oxidation, and restore skin whitening and luster. The SOD activity extracted from red wine is particularly high, and its antioxidant function is much higher than that extracted directly from grapes. Grape seed is rich in polyphenols, and its anti-aging ability is 50 times that of vitamin E and 25 times that of vitamin C. The low concentration of fruit acid in red wine also has the effect of anti-wrinkle and skin cleaning. Red wine contains more antioxidants, which can eliminate or fight oxygen free radicals, so it has the functions of anti-aging and disease prevention, and it can also prevent Alzheimer's disease if it is drunk frequently.
Grapes of different colors have different effects, among which black grapes have the greatest effect. Grape and grape seed have different main functions, but they can soften blood vessels together, which is beneficial to the health care of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and can also protect liver and kidney and delay aging. Red wine uses the principle that resveratrol and other substances can only be dissolved in alcohol, so that all the nutrients in grapes can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body.
Although Chinese medicine emphasizes that health preservation varies from person to person, eating fruit is the best way to supplement nutrition for people of any physique. But you may find that when it comes to fruit, eating apples is the first. This is because apples are flat, neither cold nor hot, and people of any physique can eat them. In fact, grapes are much more valuable than apples and have a therapeutic effect on diseases. And grapes are flat, no matter whether you are yang deficiency or yin deficiency, anyone with any constitution can eat them. The biggest feature of grapes is that they enter the spleen, lungs and kidneys, nourish the liver and kidney, are not affected by cold and heat, and can be supplemented in all seasons, so the whole human body benefits. Red wine brewed from grapes can ensure that people can drink it every day, and the method is simple. Wine is undoubtedly the best healthy drink of this era. It can not only clean up the garbage in blood vessels, stay away from the three highs, resist aging, but also regulate mood and balance emotions.
Wine can dredge meridians, nourish blood and soothe the nerves, strengthen the spleen and moisten the lungs. If you are not allergic to grapes and alcohol, try it!
