Many would argue that drinking wine is among the best pleasures in an individuals life. And while the activity of drinking something is quite simple, there are a few procedures you need to follow so as to get the most out of your wine. There are several steps for red wine and white wine, so in this article we're going to teach you the right way to drink red wine.
Firstly you're going to need to open the bottle of wine, and the best tool to use here is a corkscrew. These will be available at most bottle shops and shops, and there's no need to buy an expensive one as even the simplest corkscrew will get the job done! You want to chop the foil that is 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 a couple of years old you want to take precautions not to hurt the cork as this can 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 best part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass so as to disperse the aroma into the air. When you have swirled the glass a couple of times, place your nose at the top of the glass and smell the wine. If your wine is a shiraz, the odour should be strong 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 of 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 most from your wine!
