1, a year of watching red wine

Even in the same winery and brand, there are differences in red wine every year, depending on rainfall, temperature, lighting and so on. In summer, the temperature is higher and drier, and the grapes grow better. In addition, the alternation of dry and hot days in 10 and some humid weather provide good conditions for the growth of expensive rot, so the quality of red wine this year is higher.

2. Date of viewing red wine

The shelf life of red wine is generally ten years, but it is best to drink it within five years, because red wine has a decline period, and the longer it is left, the worse its taste (except for red wine with aging ability). It's best to drink at its peak, but it's hard to grasp at the peak, depending on various analyses. Some wines are named with the year. For example, the dry red wine in 2003 shows that it was produced in 2003, and the shelf life should start from 2003.

3. Look at the types of red wine

There are several classification methods of red wine, mainly introducing the classification method according to sugar content. Red wine is divided into dry wine, semi-dry wine, semi-sweet wine and sweet wine according to sugar content. When the sugar content in wine is less than 4 grams, it is dry wine, and the sweetness is not felt at the entrance, such as dry white wine and dry red wine. When the sugar content is 4-12g, it is a semi-dry wine with a slightly sweet taste, such as semi-dry red wine, semi-dry white wine and semi-dry pink wine. Semi-sweet wine, on the other hand, contains 12-50g of sugar, which is sweet at the mouth. Sweet wine contains more than 50 grams of sugar and has obvious sweetness at the entrance.
