Enjoy Your Wines Better By Following These Tips

By Bill Bridges


There is no doubt that wine is an enjoyable beverage, but not all people are aware of certain guidelines that will help make the wine drinking experience even better. Learn more about these guidelines by reading through this article.

It is common to think that the colder a drink is, the better it will taste. This is not true when it comes to drinking wine. There are specific temperature ranges that certain wines are to be chilled at for them to be enjoyed better. All wines contain tannins, which are substances that are found in the grapes used in making wines. Some wines contain more tannins than others. The darker a wine is, the higher the level of tannins. Tannins cannot be chilled too cold because they will taste bitter. Red wines should be chilled at a different temperature compared to white wines and champagnes. Most red wines are good when chilled to around 62 degrees. You can use a wine thermometer in order to make sure that your wines are chilled to the right temperature.

How good your wine drinking experience is also depends on the glass you use. Choose the right type of wine glass for your wine. The wine glasses on the market come in various sizes, shapes, and materials that they are made of. The best wine glasses for wines are crystal wine glasses. Choose wine glasses that are lead-free.

Wine glasses come in various shapes and sizes because the features of a wine glass can potentially maximize your wine drinking experience. The shape of the wine glass can determine at which part of your mouth the wine will first touch. Wines vary in flavor and aroma and certain wines will be best enjoyed only if certain taste buds are stimulated. Choose the right wine glass for the right type of wine.

For example, oval wine glasses are best for white wines, while red wines are best drunk from narrow-rimmed wine glasses that have round bottoms. Bubbly wines are best served in long, narrow wine glasses, because the shape prevents the bubbles from escaping.
