Red wine waking methods are as follows:

1, bottle waking: only need to open the wine cork, standing, so that a small area of the bottle mouth part of the contact with the air, this way is called "bottle waking". Bottle waking softens the tannins and releases the aroma effect more slowly, but it can make the reducing odor evaporate, but the disadvantage is that it can't remove the tartaric acid precipitation of the old wine. This method is generally used for new vintages or wines with off-flavors.

2, wine sobering: the wine is transferred from the bottle to the sobering vessel, so that the wine in the sobering vessel and the full contact with the air, the tannins soften and the aroma emanation of the speed of faster than the "bottle sobering" way much faster. Winemaker is the most ideal way to wake up wine, not only can perfectly and quickly soften the tannins, release the aroma and remove the odor, but also remove the precipitation of the old wine.

3, cup sobering: Pour the wine into the cup, and make full contact with the air to sober up. Because the contact surface between the wine and the air is very large, the speed of waking up in the cup is very fast. Disadvantages: It is difficult to taste the various changes in the process of waking up wine, and it is difficult to experience the peak of wine quality; a bottle of wine needs to be woken up for many times, which is too much trouble; the sediment in the wine cannot be removed.

Purpose of Wine Wakeup

1, moderate oxidation: it can make the rough tannins become softer. When tannins come into contact with air, they undergo a series of oxidizing reactions, thus becoming smooth and delicate.

2, aroma recovery: some wines, when young, the aroma will present a hermetic state, and after contact with the air, the aroma slowly take off the veil, and gradually emit.

3, remove precipitation: Wake up and change the bottle can remove the accumulated precipitation of old wine over the years, to avoid the residual tartaric acid precipitation in the wine, which affects the taste.

4, remove the odor: some wines in the brewing process will add excessive sulfur dioxide, which is easy to form reductive sulfur odor, rotten egg flavor, etc., in the process of waking up, this unpleasant taste will quickly disappear.
