Many would disagree that drinking wine is one of the best pleasures in a people life. And while the act of drinking something is kind 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 easiest way to drink red wine.
First of all you'll need to open the bottle of wine, and the sharpest tool to use here's a corkscrew. These are available at most bottle shops and supermarkets, and there's no need to buy an expensive one as even the most straightforward corkscrew will get the job done! You need to cut 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 1 or 2 years old you want to take precautions not to damage the cork as this can 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 1/2 way, and do not forget to twist the bottle at the end to minimise drips from the bottle. Now comes the best part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass to dissipate the aroma into the air. Once 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 robust and bold when you smell it.
Now you need to sample 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 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!
