Wine tasting has always been a reflection of sophistication. Drinking wine according to etiquette has always been a status symbol and an expensive hobby. If you like the story of wines, here are some tips on how to drink wine the right way.
Look at the wine, especially around the edges
By tilting the glass to the side, you can notice how the color of the drink changes from the center to the edges. Try placing the glass against a white background such as a napkin, wall, or paper, as this will best see its true color. Pay attention to the shade and cleanliness. Intense, deep, and saturated colors are not always an indicator of quality. As they age, white wines become darker. Unlike red wines, which lose color by switching to brown in some variants. At this point, you can smell it after mixing it in a glass to smell or determine if the wine is spoiled.
Turn the wine glass over
The point of making small vortices in a glass is that a larger surface of the wine gets in contact with the air. That way, the scents and aromas from the glass will dissolve and reach your nose directly. When lowering the glass, pay attention to how fast the wine slides down the glass. Wines with a higher percentage of alcohol go down and calm down faster.
Smell the wine
First, hold the glass a few inches from your nose. Finally, keep your nose in the glass. Indulge in the pleasure of the scent.
