While I was browsing some old magazine I found at home, I came across this article which I found interested. So, I decide to share it with you. This is about some tips on how served wine. Well, I found this tips easier to follow than learning on how to play poker (grin). So here it is.
Get the right glass. Each type of wine has an appropriate glass to serve with. You can buy a different style of glass for just about every type of wine. You have to remember that wide glasses are the best for red wine. They give you the room for swirling to release the wine aroma. The slender wine glasses are good for white wine, because they don’t need the extra space to breathe.
Let Red Wine Breathe. It is advisable to let the wines to breather, but do it in the glass not in the bottle. Uncorking a bottle and letting it sit exposes air to too little of the wine’s surface to make a difference. Instead, pour the wine, swirl it around the glass to aerate it, then sniff, sip and enjoy. As for decanting, save that for separating an older wine from sediment in the bottle.
Practice Proper Etiquette. Instead of grabbing the bottle by the neck and tilting it into the glass, position its mouth just over the top of the glass and lift the bottle’s lower half to pour. Have a napkin on hand to wipe off any spills and you’ll really impress your guest.
Don’t Fill It Up. Do not serve wine in a glass-full mode. Leave some room in the glass for swirling to release the aroma. Dip your nose into the glass (but don’t let nose touch the wine), to inhale the aroma of the wine. A glass that’s too full will spill with a swirl and get your nose wet.
