Useful Info About Wine

A Guide To Wine

Wine is quickly becoming more popular in many drinking establishments as well as at home. People have moved away from jug wines and white wine spritzers, and are experimenting with a full variety of reds, whites, roses, and sparkling wines from various countries.

The world's most popular wines are produced in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, the United States (especially California, New York, Oregon, Washington, and Texas), Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand.

Wine is not as confusing as it may appear. Many have abandoned the old rule that white must be drunk with fish and red with meat. Use your imagination! If you come across a spicy red wine that complements a salmon dish, go ahead and drink it.

Focus on the characteristics of a particular region and variety of grape, and get creative.


A Simple Rule To Follow :


· Light wines go best with subtler, more delicate foods.

· Full-bodied wines go best with spicier, more robust foods.

· Learn for yourself how your palate responds to a dry or a sweet wine.

· White wine should be served at about 55^{0 F}

· Rose wines and Beaujolais red wines at about 60 F


The key is to avoid chilling a wine to the point where its flavors become masked.

Red wines should be served at room temperature and their flavors are enhanced when you remove the cork and let the wine stand in the bottle or in glasses before drinking. This permits it to 'breathe.'

When wines are aerated, its tannic or astringent flavors will soften and mellow. Generally, the older and better the wine, the more important 'breathing' becomes.
