Red wine appeared in southern France between 1000 and 500 BC, and then began to spread throughout most of the Mediterranean basin. In the early days, red wine was always regarded as a noble drink that could only be enjoyed by nobles, and it was also a sacrificial item used to worship Bacchus, the god of wine.

Red wine also represents the blood of Jesus Christ in the hearts of Christians around the world. This has promoted the popularization of red wine, giving ordinary people the right to drink delicious red wine.

Extended information

Note on red wine: The older the vintage, the better. The vintage on the red wine refers to the year it was brewed. Most (99) wines do not have the ability to age, and the best drinking period varies depending on the wine, generally between 2 and 10 years. Only a small number of particularly good wines have the ability to age.

It is best to keep the temperature at which wine is stored constant, and short-term temperature fluctuations need to be avoided as much as possible.

Usually the best temperature for wine storage is 10°C. Generally speaking, temperatures between 7 and 18°C ??will not cause damage. Try to avoid temperature fluctuations in the wine cellar: unstable temperatures will have a certain impact on the quality of the wine. Try to avoid long-term storage of wine above 20°C, nor below 0°C.

Wine tasting knowledge

Tilt the wine glass 45 degrees in front of a pure white background to distinguish the hue and intensity. The area of ??wine close to the outermost edge of the glass wall is called the rim. Generally, the thicker the wine, the narrower the rim, and the lighter or older the wine, the wider the rim. This is especially noticeable with red wine.

After the wine is in our hands, in order to increase the contact surface between the wine and the air and fully distribute its aroma, we should shake the wine glass in our hands and rotate it in a circle parallel to the tabletop. As for whether it should be clockwise or counterclockwise, it depends on personal preferences and habits. The wine after shaking the glass will leave traces of wine on the inner wall of the wine glass. The denser, thicker, longer and more lasting they are.
