Usually, red wine is placed horizontally, and the cork will decompose and produce sawdust when soaked for a long time. Stand up the day before drinking and let the sawdust settle on the bottom of the bottle.

Red wine can't be drunk with ice, nor can it be put in an ice bucket like champagne. The optimum drinking temperature is 15- 17℃. Zhuhai can drink it directly in winter; In summer, it is best to put it in the freezer first, take it out one to half an hour before eating, open the bottle first, put it aside and slowly sober up to let the temperature rise.

Second, the four steps of wine tasting

After opening a bottle, red wine will "breathe" for a period of time and be oxidized to reach the drinking stage. After that, the waiter will pour about a sip of wine into the cup What needs to be done at this time is "wine tasting", and the process of wine tasting is:

Smell the cork: the waiter takes out the cork and lets you smell it. The fruit aroma is rich, the wine aroma is rich, and there is no peculiar smell, which can further confirm the quality of the wine. At the right time, you can ask him to pour the wine.

Wine viewing liquid: The periphery of mature wine is brown, while the wine inside is dark. Immature wine is mostly purple, but brick red is not right.

Smell the wine: Young wine still has the taste of fruit, while old wine has a compound aroma.

Tasting: Take a sip of wine and spin around your tongue. Young red wine tannins are new and astringent, and will soften with time. When using wine in a restaurant, if the test results are satisfactory, you can signal the waiter to continue pouring wine. If you are not satisfied, you can say no to the waiter.

Third, don't pour the last drop of wine.

There must be sawdust at the bottom of the old wine bottle, even if it is three or five years old, some of them also have sawdust. Therefore, be careful when pouring wine. In addition to not shaking the bottle, leave a little on the shoulder of the bottle when you finish pouring it. It is not right to turn the bottle upside down and try to pour the last drop of wine.

Fourth, it is very important to sober up.

After the red wine is opened, let it stand for 15 minutes to 1 hour according to the type, quality and maturity of the wine, and let it "breathe" with the air for chemical interaction. If you pour it directly into a glass (no more than one-third of the glass capacity), you can shake the glass to speed up the chance of wine contacting with air. When ordering food in a restaurant, it is suggested to order wine first, so that the waiter can wake up first, read the menu slowly, eat the first bowl, drink soup, and almost wake up when the main course is served.
