Drinking wine is not difficult, but if you want to drink wine correctly, you need to learn a little bit.
First let’s talk about how to open the bottle. When you get a bottle of wine, you can see that there will be a lead seal around the mouth of the bottle. This lead seal originally existed to prevent insects from eating the cork. We need to remove the lead seal before taking out the cork. We should not directly use the auger. Drill through the lead seal into the cork; the auger should not drill through the cork, as drilling through the cork will cause wood chips to fall into the wine.
The wine glass cannot be ignored when drinking wine. We all know that wine glasses are tulip-shaped. The tulip-shaped cup has the following characteristics: a large belly, a gathered mouth, a long stem, and a round holder at the bottom. The cup belly is large to facilitate shaking, the cup mouth is narrowed to gather aroma, and the cup stem is to prevent hands from holding the cup belly, thus affecting the optimal drinking temperature of the wine. The professional way to hold it is to hold the cup stem or cup holder with your hands.
Crystal wine glass VS glass wine glass
Wine glasses of different shapes will give people different feelings about the same wine, especially crystal wine glasses. Compared with glass wine glasses, crystal wine glasses are more translucent and have thinner walls. From a microscopic perspective, crystal wine glasses have multiple facets and are not as smooth as glass. The advantage is that aroma molecules can be better absorbed when shaking the glass. Release it.
Correct serving temperature of wine:
Rich red wine (long storage) 15-20 degrees Celsius
Light red wine (fresh drink) 12 degrees Celsius
Dry white wine and rosé wine 10-12 degrees Celsius
Champagne and other sparkling wines 6-8 degrees Celsius
Tips: If you order white wine but Without pre-chilling, to reach the optimal drinking temperature in the shortest time, we can use an ice bucket (50% water and 50% ice) which is the fastest way to cool down.
