Make Sure You Drink Wine With The Correct Glass!

Published by ama at 1:05 am under types wines

The type of glass you use to drink wine can make a real difference; large wine glasses can really make a cheap bottle of wine taste like an expensive bottle. It is important to make sure the glass is right before you try and anything else and this is the most important element.

When selecting a glass that you want to enhance flavour look for a glass which is large and round with a very wide rim. It adds a psychological element by making it seem like an occasion, something special is happening while drinking the wine. This design of glass increases the flavour when the wine hits the mouth and also boosts the smell of wine due to wide rim.

The tips I would advice to get the most out of your wine is to make sure you decant it, warm the wine glass you use and eat salty snacks before you drink.

Doing such a simple thing as using decanters can make a serious difference to the taste. You should decant a bottle of wine for few hours before serving and definitely do not refrigerate, the wine should be room temperature.

Having a warm glass is simple thing but often overlooked. It is important to have the glass the same temperature as your wine room temperature. If your glassware is cold you can warm it up by running it under a warm tap for a minute.

Something a little different but does make a difference is adding salty snacks. If you’re having a dinner party and serving wine with your food then salty snacks are perfect for a pre meal food and also preparing your taste buds for the wine.

Please do try these tips out when you next have a dinner party as I have found them to be really useful and they only require a little effort.
