Many would disagree that drinking wine is among the best pleasures in a people life. And while the activity of drinking something is sort of straightforward, there are 1 or 2 procedures you need to follow so as to get the most from your wine. There are various steps for red wine and white wine, so in this piece we're going to teach you the right way to drink red wine.
First off you're going to need to open the bottle of wine, and the most reliable tool to use here's a corkscrew. These are going to be available at most bottle shops and shops, and you don't need to buy an expensive one as even the most simple corkscrew will accomplish the job! You want to cut the foil that's sealing in the cork, and then you need to insert the corscrew into the cork by turning the corkscrew. Once the corkscrew is in the cork, use the corkscrew to gradually lever the cork out of the bottle. If the wine is 1 or 2 years old you need to take pains not to break the cork as this will taint the wine.
Once the bottle of wine is open the next step is to pour it into a wine glass. Fill the glass up about halfway, and don't forget to twist the bottle at the end to minimize drips from the bottle. Now comes the better part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass to break up the aroma into the air. When you have swirled the glass a few times, place your nose at the very top of the glass and smell the wine. If your wine is a full bodied Shiraz, the aroma should be robust and bold when you smell it.
Now you want to sample the wine. Sip the wine from the glass, but before you swallow the wine, swirl it around your mouth so that your tastebuds can capture all the flavours. After swirling it in your mouth, swallow the wine and then wait for the aftertaste to linger on the tongue. If you follow these steps you're sure to get the maximum from your wine!
