Red wine is a kind of wine. The ingredients of red wine are quite simple. It is a fruit wine brewed through natural fermentation, and the most contained is grape juice. Proper drinking of wine can bring many benefits, but there are also some things to pay attention to.
Although many people like to drink red wine in life, not all of them can drink red wine. When we usually drink wine, we should pay attention to avoid the following four habits, so as not to waste the delicious wine in our glass.
Don’t care about the serving temperature
When drinking wine, you must pay attention to the serving temperature. Generally speaking, white wine needs to be chilled, and the serving temperature of red wine should be slightly lower than room temperature. However, there are still many people who freeze wine excessively, or hold the belly of the glass when drinking wine, which makes the temperature of the wine too high and affects its flavor.
When drinking red wine, you must sober up first, because wine is alive, and the oxidation degree of tannin in wine is very low before opening the bottle. The aroma of the wine is sealed in the wine, and it tastes sour and fruity. The purpose of sobering up is to make the wine breathable, absorb oxygen, fully oxidize, release charming aroma, reduce astringency, and make the wine taste soft and mellow. At the same time, the filter sediment of some vintage wines can also be filtered out.
For young red wines, the aging time is relatively short, which is the most need to sober up. After the action of micro-oxidation sobering up, the tannins in young wines can be made more supple. Vintage wines, aged port wines and aged unfiltered wines are decanted in order to effectively remove sediment.
In addition to red wine, white wine with high alcohol content can also be sobered up. Because this kind of white wine is cold when it comes out, it can be warmed up by decanting, and at the same time it will emit a refreshing fragrance.
In addition to red wine, white wine with high alcohol content can also be sobered up.
Generally, young new wine can be served about half an hour in advance. More complicated is the full-bodied red wine. If the storage period is too short, the tannin taste will be particularly strong. This kind of wine should be opened at least two hours in advance, so that the wine liquid can fully contact with the air to increase the aroma and accelerate ripening. Red wines that are just in the ripening period are generally half an hour to an hour in advance. At this time, the wine is full-bodied and full-bodied, and it is the best tasting time.
Generally speaking, a standard glass of wine is 150 ml per glass, that is, a standard bottle of wine is poured into 5 glasses. However, due to the different shapes, capacities and colors of wine glasses, it is difficult to reach the standard 150ml.
According to the rules of using different cup types for different wines, experienced people have summed up more simple pouring specifications for reference: 1/3 of the glass for red wine; 2/3 of the glass for white wine; , should be poured to 1/3 first, after the bubbles in the wine subside, then continue to pour into the glass until it is 70% full.
The phrase “eat meat with a big mouthful and drink with a big mouthful” is often used to describe the heroic heroes in Chinese film and television or novels. But be sure to drink slowly when drinking wine. You must not hold the attitude of “everyone does everything cleanly and never gets drunk”. If that is the case, it would be too contrary to the original intention of drinking wine. Drink a little bit of wine, taste it slowly, let the aroma of the wine fill the whole mouth, and savor it carefully.
When the wine enters the mouth, close the lips, lean the head slightly forward, use the movement of the tongue and facial muscles to stir the wine, or open the mouth slightly, and inhale gently. This not only prevents the wine from flowing out of the mouth, but also allows the wine vapors to enter the back of the nasal cavity. At the end of the taste analysis, it is best to swallow a small amount of wine and spit out the rest. Then, lick your teeth and the inside of your mouth with your tongue to identify the aftertaste.
