Step 1: Control the temperature of red wine. Traditionally, the temperature of drinking red wine is cool room temperature, which is between 18 and 21℃ (white wine is between 9 and 12℃). At this temperature, red wine in various years is in its best state.

a bottle of chilled red wine has more obvious tannin characteristics than red wine at cool room temperature, so it tastes astringent. The situation of white wine is just the opposite, it is to highlight the freshness and acidity, so it is suitable for drinking after being chilled. The correct way to drink is to hold the column of the goblet with your fingers instead of holding the cup with your hands, otherwise the difference in wine temperature will affect the coordination of the wine.

step 2: sober up. A bottle of fine wine that has been dusty for many years will smell when it is just opened. At this time, it is necessary to "wake up" this wine. Pour the wine into a beautiful decanter and wait for ten minutes, and the smell of the wine will dissipate.

generally speaking, a decanter requires that the contact area between wine and air be maximized. After the red wine is fully oxidized, the rich aroma is revealed. The process time can be extended, preferably one hour, resulting in an atmosphere full of wine fragrance.

Step 3: Watch the wine. The red color of red wine is enough to stir people's hearts. When pouring red wine, the basic requirement is that the glass is placed horizontally and the wine does not overflow. In the case of sufficient light, put the glass of red wine horizontally on the white paper and watch the edge of red wine. Those with distinct layers are mostly new wine, and those with even color are a little old. If it is slightly brown, it is possible to encounter a bottle of old wine.

step four: drink. Before you enter the wine, you should smell it deeply in the glass. At this time, you can appreciate the delicate fragrance of red wine. The fruity fragrance of the new wine is very heavy, while the old wine deeply restrains this flamboyant personality. Swallow a mouthful of red wine, let the red wine stop for a minute in your mouth, roll it twice on your tongue, take a deep breath to make your senses fully experience the red wine, and finally swallow it all, and a delicate fragrance immediately lingers among them.

step 5: wine sequence. When drinking, you should follow the principle that the new comes first, the old comes later, and the light comes first and the strong comes later.

Extended information

Classification

sweet sparkling wine

sweet sparkling wine is a sweet sparkling wine, which contains a certain amount of carbon dioxide to form bubbles. Carbon dioxide naturally forms sparkling wine with a sugar content of more than 5.1 g/L in bottles or large wine storage tanks through wine fermentation.

dry sparkling wine

dry sparkling wine is dry and sweet sparkling wine, because the wine contains a certain amount of carbon dioxide to form bubbles. Carbon dioxide naturally forms sparkling wine with sugar content less than 5.1 g/L in bottles or large wine storage tanks through wine fermentation.

noble wine is a very precious sweet wine originating from Hungary. It is made by the action of "aristocratic mold" attached to grape skins, hence the name "noble wine".

white wine

white wine is a wine made from white grape varieties, which are light yellow in color or peeled. The common white grape varieties are Chardonnay, SauvignonBlanc, Riesling, Pi Nuo, Sémillon and Qiong Yao pulp.

shelf life

The older the red wine, the better. The year on the red wine refers to the year's grapes. Most (99%) wines have no aging ability, and the best drinking period varies with different wines, generally between 2 and 1 years. Only a few particularly good wines have the ability to age. Some top French and Italian red wines have the ability to age for decades or even hundreds of years.

Many wines from top Bordeaux wineries can still be drunk even if they have been preserved for more than a century. Tannin (tannic acid) is needed for wine aging, and Cabernet Sauvignon (grape variety) is the most suitable for aging among many grape varieties because of geographical factors and its characteristics.

optimal temperature

generally, the optimal temperature for wine storage is 1 C. generally speaking, the temperature of 7-18°C will not be harmful. Try to avoid temperature fluctuation in the wine cellar: unstable temperature will have a certain impact on the quality of wine. It is necessary to avoid long-term storage of wine above 2°C and not below C, so that the wine will precipitate stones, thus reducing the acidity of the wine.

it is best to keep the temperature of wine constant, and it is necessary to avoid short-term temperature fluctuation as much as possible. Usually, the higher the temperature, the faster the wine matures; When the temperature is low, the growth of wine will be slower.
