Drinking etiquette on formal occasions: First, please clean your mouth before drinking, otherwise there will be lip prints on the cup. Second, do not touch the cup body when holding the goblet, and hold the slender part. 3. Don't drink wine without a toast. You can not abide by the above three points in Chengdu! Because no one cares! This is the most important thing at the bottom! The first purpose of eating vegetables with wine is to gargle and clean the aftertaste of the mouth. This is due to its astringency (wine, especially red wine)! To clean the aftertaste of the mouth, it is best to order a glass of kir or kir royal. The first glass of red wine is 15% of the glass capacity, and gently shake it to make the wine body hang-appreciate it. smell and taste is called "regarde la robe" in France. The action must be gentle! ! ! The French call this action "touchez une belle femme" and "like touching a lady". Whether in a bar or at a banquet, red wine, as a wonderful product for appreciation and evaluation, is gradually being respected and recognized by people. What red wine means is a realm of life. It's the most wonderful romantic moment to be able to sit down without distractions, taste the fine wine in the cup, and feel the purest life in the cup with both spirit and body. Appreciation of red wine, of course, should be based on sensibility. Every taste of wine, every gaze and every ear need to be fully integrated. Red wine will bring endless fun and enjoyment to people. In the wine storage rooms of restaurants and fashionistas, there are often some red wines that have been treasured by the owners for many years. These wines that are old enough or good years are the owner's love and also the symbol of the owner's taste and personality. When tasting a precious red wine with three or two confidants, the refreshing fragrance seems to be the short flute sound when Beethoven's symphony reaches its climax. The unique wine quality has become more mellow and flawless with the growth of years. The delicacy and elegance is not a glass of wine, but a culture and a fashionable life taste. The luckiest people are those who have a relationship with wine. "Born Liu Ling, named after wine", the wine of the ancients is firm but gentle moonlight, and the wine of today is full of romance. People often ask, why drink red wine? For fashion? Taste? Healthy? Or life? Can't other wines meet the needs? Let's listen to what the professional wine tasters say: Because of the differences in varieties, soil, brewing technology and climate, red wine produced in different places has its own unique flavor, which brings different visual, olfactory and taste feelings to everyone. Excluding the pursuit of high-priced wines just to show off or show off, there are three reasons for the high price of good vintage wines in some famous wineries or wineries: First, the good flavor and taste brewed by these wines have been the preference of many people for hundreds of years; Second, according to the principle of economics, the price of wine brewed in the same year will certainly rise when the supply is less than the demand; Third, these precious wines usually need to be stored for a long time to mature. As time goes by, the transformation becomes more and more perfect and the price becomes more and more expensive. Some experts or people with long wine tasting experience can really tell the year from the color of the wine, smell the grape varieties from the aroma, perceive the maturity of the grapes from the taste, and can describe the taste and taste with very appropriate adjectives. The whole wine tasting process is like playing with rare treasures, and it is played repeatedly. Drinking red wine is more to appreciate a little romantic interest, to relive a long-lasting feeling, and to recall the romantic stories that have been infiltrated by red wine for centuries: whenever a special day comes, a handsome and considerate gentleman always brings a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers to his long-cherished lover, and then the two of them drink wine and fall in love in the warmth of flowers and months, so some wine labels are specially designed as a red heart. This romance makes the beautiful red wine more poetic and picturesque beyond the world. Red wine is a living work of art, its magic is because it is full of fresh life juice, contains profound historical connotation and stretches the noble cultural accumulation. Tasting red wine, feeling joy and indulging in mystery are naturally a rare and wonderful artistic conception of life. How serene, peaceful, harmonious and elegant your heart is when you pick up a tulip cup with exquisite curves and crystal clear, gently sway it, listen to the sweet sound made by the collision between ice cubes and the cup body, and stare at the rosy wine juice flowing down the cup wall slowly, revealing the charming luster like jelly. As the wine glass swirls and raises the fragrance of wine, you hold your breath and gather together, relax your heart and take a deep breath of faint fragrance, and smell it again and again, and you can't bear to go down your throat for a long time; Then you gently sip a sip and put it in your mouth, so that the delicate and smooth nectar swings between your lips, teeth and tongue. The fragrance that lingers in your mouth still lingers around your mouth even after entering your throat, which makes people bow their heads and have a lingering aftertaste. At this moment, your thoughts and feelings will slowly float and swim anywhere you want-you will feel that wine is a romantic poem, burning gently in your life. This is the fun of wine tasting! Nowadays, many people don't really understand red wine. Most people drink ordinary red wine with sprite and lemon, and they shake a small handleless wine cup to compare the amount of alcohol. People who really know wine think that "drink less, but better" is an immortal proverb for drinking red wine. Because red wine is a perfect combination of nature and time, it needs the patience of drinkers. Although western food and red wine are imported, they have been handed down from generation to generation and have a commendable tradition. Tasting red wine is actually a good way to slow down the pace of life. From aperitif to wine for dinner and dessert, there is a process, just like bloom flowers falling, which is orderly. Indeed, when there are pianos and wonderful singers who specialize in jazz singing for you, and comfortable seats surround your tired body, why not take a vacation for yourself and let the fragrance in the cup bring you the beauty of a vineyard? If you were allowed to taste a red wine as old as you, you wouldn't be so careless. The elegance and preciousness of red wine lies in that it represents the condensed time, and the labor of people decades ago is held in the cup. At that moment, it is inevitable to be touched. If you are a good friend, it will be enough for you to get drunk first if you bring that very old red wine that you have treasured for many years. It is speculated that as early as 7500 BC, grape varieties used to brew most modern wines have appeared in the Caucasus, which is now Armenia and Georgia. In ancient times, almost all Mediterranean countries planted grapes that could be used to make wine. The murals of the Egyptian Pharaoh's mausoleum in 2000 BC describe in detail every step of making wine in ancient Egypt. Wine is an inseparable part of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Vineyards in the Loire Valley in France appeared in succession in the 4th and 5th centuries, and now France has become the most famous wine producing area. For centuries, the French have brought the exquisite craft of brewing wine into the realm of art, and made many wine regions in China famous for producing fine wine. This is not only because the French people's wine-making level is superb, but also because France has a unique climate and soil conditions, thus producing a variety of grapes, and then brewing a series of world-famous red and white wines, champagne and cognac, which make many drinkers infinitely intoxicated. The weather in France is cooler, so the ripening period of grape planting is longer, and grapes can get more and richer flavors. French wine is elegant, noble and complicated, but not everyone can appreciate it. In Bordeaux and its surrounding areas, there are some manors specializing in wine making, which are usually called "wine castles" or "wineries". In such a manor, castles are often located in endless vineyards. Although the main buildings have different styles, they are mainly Renaissance and 17 to 18 century architectural styles. Bordeaux wine is famous for its smoothness and mellow, deep purple and bright color, strong fragrance and strong tangy fragrance. The quality of the wine is natural, pure and flawless, and it is known as the "queen of French wine". Bordeaux has a unique climate and geographical conditions: it faces the Atlantic Ocean, has a mild climate and many soil forms, and is crossed by the gironde River, where vines grow best. Bordeaux is the largest producing area of good wines in the world, and almost all kinds of wines can be produced: red wines with mellow flavor, white wines with spicy or sweet taste, and rose wines, ranging from fine wines to ordinary table wines. The brewing process of wine is serious and rigorous: the first step is the so-called stem removal, that is, the grapes are removed from the comb-shaped branches. Because the branch contains a lot of tannic acid, it will cause an unpleasant taste in the wine. The next step is to squeeze the fruit. To brew red wine, the process of grape pulp fermentation is absolutely necessary. Because the red pigment contained in fruit acid is released during this time. Next is juicing and fermentation. After juicing, you can get the raw material of wine-grape juice, and with the wine juice, you can make good wine. Wine is the product of fermentation, which shows that fermentation plays a very important role in the process of wine brewing. Fermentation is a chemical process that works through yeast. After this chemical action, the sugar contained in grapes will gradually turn into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Therefore, in the process of fermentation, sugar is getting less and less, while alcohol content is getting higher and higher. Through the slow fermentation process, the wine with fragrant and delicate taste can be brewed. Although this has been done, the work of the winemaker is still unfinished. After about 3 weeks of fermentation, the new wine must be precipitated for the first time and changed into barrels. The second precipitation takes 4 to 6 weeks. Wine can be bottled after it has been stored in barrels for 3 to 9 months or even longer. The wine bottle is sealed with a cork, so let the wine wait quietly for the romantic moment in the sealed space. What wine should I drink tonight? There may be a way to help you make a decision: try to conceive a long night as a drama. What kind of night will it be? The characters, scenes, lights, props, music, plot and food on the table are all organized, and you will know what kind of wine to put on this stage. A Jing Ya atmosphere The indoor light should not be too strong, and there should be no noise, including strong music and sound. The air is fresh, and the walls should be light-colored to form a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, wine tasting should be carried out in a state of empty stomach, sensitive senses and good spirit and mood. B The red wine cocktail party selected by tablecloth will show different colors depending on the origin and age of wine, which can be violet, ruby red and so on. In order to make their beautiful and pure colors appear, the choice of tablecloths is not casual. Dark tablecloths will affect the feeling of wine color, so white and pink tablecloths are appropriate. C Ideal wine temperature Every red wine has its ideal drinking temperature, and the drinking temperature of red wine is 18℃ to 24℃. Red wine must be drunk at the temperature that can best reflect its value, because the temperature when drinking red wine has a great influence on the aroma and taste. Too low temperature will suppress the fragrance and aggravate the acidity and astringency. If the temperature is too high, the wine will lose its freshness, and there is a danger of producing improper aroma compounds. The most convenient way to reduce the temperature of room temperature red wine before drinking is to put the wine bottle in an ice bucket with half ice and half water. After 15 to 20 minutes, the temperature will drop from more than 20 degrees to about 10 degrees. If you want the temperature to drop faster, you can sprinkle a handful of coarse salt in the ice water, which can give full play to the best characteristics of red wine. D wine tasting apparatus The wine glass is an important tool for catering, which has a decisive influence on the overall aesthetic feeling of the dining table, especially on the drinking taste, so the wine glass for drinking red wine is quite particular. In terms of material, the glass used for drinking red wine must be light and transparent enough to show the true colors of the wine. Clever drinkers play with glasses gracefully, and it is also an important way to judge the quality of red wine by appreciating the color of red wine in the glass. Therefore, the wine glass should be made light, so that it will not fall when picked up; Only by making it thin can you clearly see the color of the wine. Of course, the top-grade wine glasses are made of crystal glass. This kind of wine glasses has very high transparency and small refractive index, which is much higher than ordinary goods. In terms of appearance, drinking red grape wine is a variety with a narrow mouth and a wide belly. The narrow mouth is to make the aroma of wine gather at the mouth of the cup, which is not easy to escape, so as to fully taste the aroma of wine and fruit. Wide belly is to make red wine fully contact with the air. In the past, the popular wine glasses were small and exquisite, but now the big belly cup is fashionable, which is more magnificent when held in the hand, and at the same time, it makes red wine contact more space in the cup. When tasting red wine, you should hold the high part of the glass and avoid touching the glass body to raise the temperature. The correct pouring method is to pour the red wine into the glass about 1/3. On the one hand, it can sober up and on the other hand, it can avoid the embarrassment of wine overflowing when swinging the glass. E pouring method There are a lot of red wine red tape on the table. If you don't need to learn western table manners, then a bottle opener, a proper wine temperature and a proper cup will be enough. However, in order to avoid encountering special circumstances and missing good wine, it is safer to know more details. A. Breathing In order to make the red wine smell more mellow and taste more supple when drinking, you can open the bottle in advance to let the wine breathe and breathe for a while. Its function is to make the wine slightly oxidized, and contact with air can release its fragrance better. Generally speaking, the breathing time of red wine should not exceed 3 hours, and it is best to open the bottle when drinking the aged wine for many years, so as to avoid the unique aroma of the aged wine from escaping when opening the bottle in advance. B. opening the bottle is an elegant and skillful action. Generally, the wine should be shown to the guests first, and the origin and year of the wine should be stated. The display surface should make the guests see the label of the wine intuitively. The most commonly used bottle opener is an auger with a wooden handle, a lever bottle opener and a butterfly bottle opener. When opening a bottle, first cut the seal with a knife from the convex part of the bottle mouth and remove the upper part. Then aim at the center and slowly screw the spiral cone into the cork, then fasten the bottle mouth, and then slowly pull up the handle smoothly to pull out the cork; When the cork is about to leave the bottle mouth, gently pull out the cork so as not to make a loud noise-try to keep quiet during the whole opening process. Open the bottle and take out the cork, let the guests see if the cork is wet. If it is wet, it proves that the bottle of wine has adopted a more reasonable preservation method, otherwise, the bottle of wine is likely to deteriorate due to improper preservation. Guests can also smell the cork, or try to drink it to further confirm the quality of the wine. Only after it is confirmed that it is correct can the wine be officially poured. C. pouring skills when pouring wine, you should first pour wine to the guests from the host's right, and pay attention to the ladies and the elderly. When pouring wine, everyone should be able to see the label of the wine. The wine glass is always placed on the guest's right, so the wine is poured from the guest's right. When pouring wine, white wine is poured into 2/3 of the glass, and red wine is poured into 1/3 of the glass. If the wine is too full, it will be difficult to raise a glass, let alone watch the color and smell the fragrance. We should leave a certain space for the fragrance of the wine gathered at the mouth of the cup, so that the fragrance of the wine will linger here. F The choice of wine to match with a menu depends on many factors, such as the wine stored in the cellar, regional traditions, personal tastes, etc. In any case, red wine should not be consumed in excess in one meal. The drinking order of red wine will affect the tasting of their quality. In order to reduce the interference caused by the first-class wine to the second-class wine, when arranging the order of tasting, it is best to arrange the lighter wine in front, and try to stay behind the slightly heavy and sweet wine. So usually white wine comes before red wine, sweet wine comes after dry wine, new wine comes before old wine, and high-alcohol wine comes after low-alcohol wine. In foreign countries, there are pre-dinner wine, table wine and after-dinner wine. Some appetizing vermouth and cocktails can be prepared for pre-dinner wine. Table wine varies from dish to dish, and dry red or white wine and champagne are generally used; After dinner, sweet wine, brandy and whisky are selected. The collocation of wine and dishes is quite particular: sweet white wine with dried goose sauce; Dry white and semi-dry white wine with fish, seafood and white meat chickens and poultry; Red wine with red beef, mutton, etc. It can also be simplified as "white wine with white meat, red wine with red meat". This is because the "acid" in white wine can increase the refreshing activity of the taste, and as far as seafood is concerned, it has the function of removing fishy smell. "Tannin" in red wine can soften the fiber and make the meat feel more tender. In this way, the dishes and wine complement each other, which not only appreciates the unique taste of the dishes but also highlights the flavor of the wine. Of course, you can also use your imagination to create new collocation methods. Unusual combinations are sometimes very attractive, especially when French wine is paired with dishes from other countries such as China and Japan. People who advocate higher taste and interest in life are often interested in things that are unfamiliar to ordinary people, because this often requires a higher level of vision and experience background. Just like people who are really addicted to red wine will distinguish its color, smell and even the cups they drink. The grade of wine is measured by the year it is preserved. The higher the grade of red wine, the more complicated its taste, so it can only be described by the word good wine. Different kinds of red wine have different drinking years. Generally speaking, red wine with high reputation and unique personality can only appreciate its flavor after a long period of maturity, while most white wines just want to taste its fresh fruity flavor, so its drinking period should not be too long, so it should be drunk as soon as possible. Someone said, "The difference between wine tasting and drinking is thinking." In the west, wine tasting is regarded as an elegant and meticulous taste, and appreciating red wine is even more elegant for the leisure class. Wine tasting can be divided into five basic steps: watching color, shaking, smelling wine, tasting and aftertaste. As long as you have a keen sense and spirituality, and pay the corresponding patience and time, you can certainly appreciate the mystery and leisure. A Watching and tasting red wine begins with the eyes, because the appearance of red wine is an important indicator of its health, quality characteristics and the degree of brewing. First of all, we should look at the bottle packaging to see whether the international bar code on the label on the back of the bottle starts with 3 words, and whether the French international code is 3, and whether there is a Chinese logo on the label on the back of the bottle; Open the bottle and see if the words on the wooden wine stopper are the same as those on the bottle label. In France, both wine bottles and wine stoppers are dedicated. Drinking red wine, that wine label is equivalent to the wine ID card. The wine label usually includes the name of the winery, the name of the wine, the variety of the wine, the capacity of the wine, the alcohol content, the country of production, the year of growth, and where to package it in bottles. For experienced customers, this information is very important. For example, through the growth year of grapes, we can know whether the growth process is perfect or not, and we can also decide whether it is better to drink them immediately or to store them for a few more years. There are also distinctive patterns on the wine labels. In the past, these were mostly the signs of wineries, even the noble signs, royal signs or the scenery and buildings of wineries handed down, all of which were unique charm. In addition, because every year's wine will be printed with the year, many drinkers will keep the particularly beautiful vintage wine labels for aftertaste and even to show off to their friends. Slowly, collecting wine labels has become a pleasure for drinkers. After examining the appearance, you can gently pull out the cork, be careful not to shake the bottle, and pour a small amount of red wine into a clear and transparent tulip-shaped glass until it is about 5 cm away from the foot of the glass. In bright light, hold the cup foot or bottom, tilt it at 45 degrees, and observe the appearance and color of the wine against the white background. To evaluate the appearance of red wine, there are mainly factors such as color, clarity, concentration and luster. For good quality red wine, its clarity, brightness and luster are the first impression and the basic quality of good wine. The color of the new wine is clear and bright, and the old wine is slightly yellowish brown. When the glass is tilted at 45 degrees, there is a layer of water at the joint between the wine and the glass wall. The wider it is, the higher the alcohol content of the wine is. Different colors can appear at the junction of water body and wine body, thus showing the age of wine. Blue and lavender are equal to 3 to 5 years of wine age; The color of red brick is equal to 5 to 6 years; Amber is equal to 8 to 10 years; Orange means it has expired. Under most normal conditions, the color of dry red wine is bright red, which means that the wine is quite young, usually between 1 and 4 years old; The color of dry red wine is purple, which means that the wine has reached middle age, about 4 to 8 years old; When the color of dry red wine is brown, it means that the wine has reached maturity or old age, usually over 9 or 10 years old. Different liquor-making procedures and styles have different effects on the color change of liquor. B shake the bottom of the glass and keep shaking the wine in the glass to hang the wine on the glass wall. The shaking will release the esters, ethers and acetaldehyde in the wine, make the oxygen fully integrated with the red wine, and release the unique aroma of the red wine to the greatest extent, so that the taster can judge the quality and characteristics of the wine according to the aroma of the wine. From the horizontal direction of the right side of the glass, shake the glass and see the speed of the wine flowing down from the glass wall evenly. The thicker the wine, the slower it flows, and the better the quality of the wine. C smelling nose is the most sensitive organ when we try wine. In fact, the smell of nose is closely related to the taste of mouth, and the feeling of mouth will confirm the experience of nose smell. When you smell the wine without shaking it, the perceived smell is the "first smell" of the wine, also called "qianxiang". Before smelling the wine, it is best to take a breath of fresh outdoor air, then hold the cup foot tightly, tilt the cup at 45 degrees, and probe the tip of the nose into the cup to smell the original smell of the wine. At this moment, the delicate and pleasant, elegant and rich aroma will come to the nose. Take a few short sniffs, but don't take a long deep breath, because the sense of smell is easily blunted, especially when you want to taste several lighter and tender red wines. Ask yourself if you like this smell, is it light? Is it fresh? Is it sour or sweet? Thick or sweet? Is it strong or graceful? After the wine glass is rotated and shaken, you can smell the smell released from the wine quickly, which is the "second smell" of the wine, also called "after fragrance". Remember, the smell of red wine, like color, can reflect the variety of red wine and the maturity of red wine itself, partly due to the brewing method. The new wine will release the unique "extraordinary fragrance" of the grapes used in its brewing. "Extraordinary fragrance" traditionally refers to the smell people smell from light tender red wine, and the word "mellow" is usually used to brew red wine. For Tibetan red wine, its aroma is long-lasting and rich, including flowers, fruits, earth, oak, fur, barbecue and many other flavors. D don't eat sweet food before tasting red wine, otherwise it will feel sour, bitter and astringent. For most people, wine tasting means taking a sip of wine and swallowing it quickly, but it's not called wine tasting. Tasting wine is a thing to do with taste buds. Remember, let the wine spread around your mouth, on both sides of your tongue, on the back of your tongue, on the tip of your tongue, and extend to the bottom of your throat. The taste buds on the tongue can distinguish four basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The tip of the tongue tastes sweet, the edges on both sides of the tongue taste salty, the upper sides of the tongue taste sour and the root of the tongue tastes bitter. Simply put, a good wine should have the following characteristics: the fragrance is moderate, rich and complex enough; The taste of wine should also be rich and complicated enough; The aftertaste should be long enough; The taste of wine and oak should be balanced. The above four points are the basic conditions of good wine, and they are indispensable. Sip the wine into a small mouth and put it in the front of the mouth, let the tongue and related parts warm the wine, so that all kinds of flavors can slowly escape and get better. Usually, you will feel that the following flavors are mixed together: the sweetness is not sweet, which is called "dry". The wine that terminates fermentation in advance will leave some natural sugar. If the tongue obviously feels sugar, it belongs to slightly sweet to very sweet wine; Sour taste can be felt on both sides of tongue and jaw; Astringent taste, red wine has the highest tannic acid content and a strong sense of dryness; The smell of alcohol, when the wine flows into the throat, will be filled with a warm air. The more alcohol, the stronger the warmth. What you feel when you taste red wine is the stimulation to your mouth and the texture of your mouth. Different wines have different brewing methods, some are smooth, some are strong, and some are charming ... It's true that wine is like people, and people are like wine. Only by careful tasting can you appreciate it. E aftertaste at this moment, the taster can quietly experience the wonderful wine aroma, taste and characteristics: harmonious, mellow, sweet, delicate, plump, continuous and pure ... The real good wine is mellow and flawless, which makes people memorable. Is the wine light, moderately rich or relatively rich? Is the red wine tannic acid too strong or too astringent? Is it pleasant? How long does the aftertaste last? The most important thing is whether you like this bottle of wine or not. After tasting the fine wine, it gives people a wonderful and warm feeling. A good red wine is like a perfect and harmonious symphony, with every note and tone clearly recognizable. Good red wine is indeed a brilliant artistic treasure in the wine world. In order to fully taste the flavor contained in red wine, regardless of its purchase price, it should be stored in a proper environment before drinking. If it is only a small collection, just pay attention to avoid light and heat. At present, there are electronic wine cabinets in the market, which have the functions of constant temperature and humidity. Putting red wine with exquisite and beautiful bottles is a charming landscape in family decoration. If you like to collect a lot of red wine, you should have a wine cellar with constant temperature and humidity. Traditional wine cellars are mainly made of wood, because wood is a natural material and can be placed for more than a hundred years. The wine cellar can't be built by the wall, and it needs to keep a distance of 3 to 4 cm from the original room wall, so that it is not easily affected by the outside temperature and humidity, and the red wine will be oxidized and deteriorated. The following provides the best conditions for wine storage, so that you can preserve your love wine. A temperature wine can't be placed in too cold place. If it is too cold, it will make the wine grow slowly, and it will stay in the frozen state and will not continue to evolve, which will lose the meaning of storing wine. It is too hot, the wine matures too fast, and it is not rich and detailed enough, which makes red wine excessively oxidized or even deteriorated, because it takes a long time to develop a detailed and complicated wine flavor. The most important thing is that the temperature of the wine cellar should be stable for a long time, preferably between 1 1℃ and 14℃. B Humidity The ideal humidity is 70% to 80%. If it is too dry, put a plate of wet sand for adjustment. The humidity of the wine cellar should not be too low, because insufficient humidity will make the cork lose its elasticity and cannot seal the bottle mouth tightly. The dry shrinkage of the bottle stopper will lead to the invasion of the outside air, so that the quality of the wine will change and the wine will evaporate through the cork, resulting in the so-called "empty bottle" phenomenon. Even if the wine doesn't go bad, the dry cork is easy to break when opening the bottle, and the sawdust falls into the wine, which will greatly affect the quality of the wine. But the humidity should not be too high, which will easily make the cork and wine labels moldy and rotten. It is best not to have any light in the C-photometric wine cellar, because light is easy to cause the deterioration of wine, especially fluorescent lamps and neon lights are easy to accelerate the oxidation of wine and give off a strong and unpleasant taste. The best place to store wine is north. Besides avoiding light, don't get close to objects with strong smell. Doors and windows should be made of opaque materials. D it is best to ventilate in the ventilated wine cellar to prevent the musty smell from being too strong. Red wine, like a sponge, will suck the surrounding flavor into the bottle, so you should avoid putting strong things like onions and garlic with wine. E the damage of vibration to wine is purely physical. The change of red wine in a bottle is a slow process, and the vibration will accelerate the ripening of red wine and make the wine rough. So try to avoid moving the wine around or placing it in a place where it often vibrates, especially the old red wine. Because it takes 30 to 40 years or more to store a bottle of vintage red wine, not just three to four weeks, it is best to keep it "asleep". F The traditional way of placing wine is to put the wine flat, so that the red wine can contact the cork to keep it moist. The wet cork has enough elasticity to plug the bottle mouth firmly. On the contrary, when the bottle is placed vertically, the cork does not have enough moisture to keep it moist. The bottle can be set at 45 degrees, so that the cork can contact with the red wine and the air in the bottle at the same time. It can be seen from the above points that the best place to preserve red wine is the wine cellar, which has a certain depth to ensure constant temperature, humidity, light and vibration sources. Of course, if the temperature is not suitable, temperature control equipment can be installed.
