Many would argue that drinking wine is among the best pleasures in an individuals life. And whilst the process of drinking something is kind of easy, there are a few procedures you need to follow so as to get the best out of your wine. There are various steps for red wine and white wine, so in this piece we're going to teach you the easiest way to drink red wine.
Firstly you'll 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 supermarkets, and there's no need to buy an expensive one as even the most simple corkscrew will accomplish the job! You want 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 softly lever the cork out of the bottle. If the wine is a few years old you need to take precautions not to damage the cork as this can tarnish 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 reduce drips from the bottle. Now comes the best part - the smelling and tasting!
Swirl the wine in the glass to disperse the smell into the air. Once you have swirled the glass a number of times, place your nose at the very top of the glass and smell the wine. If your wine is a shiraz, the aroma 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 that 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!
