Many would disagree that drinking wine is amongst the best pleasures in an individuals life. And while the act of drinking something is sort of straightforward, there are one or two procedures you must follow so as to get the most out of your wine. There are several steps for red wine and white wine, so in this post we're going to teach you the best way to drink red wine.
First off you will need to open the bottle of wine, and the best tool to use here's a corkscrew. These are going to be available at most bottle shops and supermarkets, and you don't need to buy a dear one as even the most straightforward corkscrew will get the job done! You need to chop the foil that's sealing in the cork, and then you want 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 a couple of years old you need to take pains not to hurt the cork as this may taint the wine.
Once the bottle of wine is open the step after that 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 minimise drips from the bottle. Now comes the better part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass so as to break up the smell into the air. When you've swirled the glass a number of times, place your nose at the top of the glass and smell the wine. If your wine is a shiraz, the aroma should be powerful and bold when you smell it.
Now you need to taste the wine. Sip the wine from the glass, but before you swallow the wine, swirl it around your mouth so 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 going to get the maximum from your wine!
