Many would argue that drinking wine is among the best pleasures in a people life. And while the process of drinking something is kind of easy, there are one or two procedures you need to follow so as to get the most from your wine. There are different steps for red wine and white wine, so in this piece we're going to teach you the best way to drink red wine.
First of all you will need to open the bottle of wine, and the most reliable tool to use here's a corkscrew. These will be available at most bottle shops and shops, and there's no need to buy a costly one as even the most simple corkscrew will get the job done! 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 gently lever the cork out of the bottle. If the wine is a couple of years old you need to take care not to hurt the cork as this will tarnish 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 1/2 way, and remember to twist the bottle at the end to minimize drips from the bottle. Now comes the best part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass so as to disperse the smell into the air. When you have swirled the glass a couple of times, place your nose at the very top of the glass and smell the wine. If your wine is a full bodied Shiraz, the smell should be strong and bold when you smell it.
Now you want 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 are sure to get the most from your wine!
