Any time of year, you should stock your cooler with an array of interesting wines to serve to company. This article will help you buy, store and serve wine more expertly.
Buy one wine bottle to try. Because your wine options are endless, you may fall in love with any number of them. It’s wise to try one bottle prior to getting the full case.
You should not drink reds and whites in the same glasses. White wines should go in narrow glasses to prevent excess warm air from penetrating their surface. Reds are better in a wide glass. This allows more air into your glass to let the wine warm and boost the flavor.
Not all white wines should be chilled when served. Not all white wines are similar in texture and they may have a different temperature for ideal servings. As an example, Pinot Gris is best served closer to room temperature.
Do not hesitate to experiment when shopping for wine. The best method of learning all about different wines is experimenting. Recommended wines by shop owners or even regional wines can be good. You never know when you may find a new favorite!
Champagne and sparkling wines should be served when they are very cold. The flavor is enhanced the colder it is, and it will not taste the same at room temperature. When you put the champagne in the fridge about 2 hours before it will be served, you will really notice the difference.
The right glasses make for a perfect wine experience. You have to have clean glasses which look great. If your current stemware is worn, cracked or chipped, think about buying a new set.
As discussed in this article earlier, choosing just the right wine can be hard because so many choices exist. With any luck, you should feel more confident enjoying fine wines. This information can help you navigate your local wine store with confidence.
