Weimin is the most decent wanton for adults

Life has its gravity and often makes people fall. In a successful and depressed city life, people have been trying to find elements that can rise for a while. They can be literature or music, and wine is of course counted.

Especially in the evening of the summer, after a day of work, I appreciated a glass of iced wine (maybe it is a cup of NOBLE ROT Wines). The graceful taste starts from the tongue. The joy it releases is enough to fill your thoughts, and even these joy can make you forget the dullness at the moment, and you can't help but jump in your heart.

It's rare for a moment, you should understand the relevant wine knowledge yourself. For example, how to choose wine? How can I save the wine that is not finished? Which wines can be aged, and which are not necessary?

10 tricks:

Choose a bottle of correct wine

1. Try to avoid which wines stored in strong light, such as wine near the store window or heat source. Light and thermal source can make the wine lose fruity and freshness

2. Find the wines that are as close as possible to the origin of the bottle of bottle. If the manufacturer is not the same, the wine labels of all wines need to be marked with the address of the bottle, at least there must be zip code.

Pay attention to this situation: a bottle of New Zealand wine, but bottle in the UK. Indeed, more and more wines are transported worldwide. From the perspective of ecological industry, this is desirable to those less expensive wines, but truly serious wine producers will still adhere to their own bottle.

For example, find French wine with the words "MIS EN BOUTEILLE AU Domaine/Château".

3. If a bottle of wine uses a cork, choose those wines stored flat, which will ensure the humidity of the cork and block the oxygen outside.

4. Check the liquid surface at the bottleneck. It is best not to buy wine with more than 2 ~ 3 cm when the wine is placed upright, because this may convey a signal: too much harmful oxygen has been in contact with the wine.

5. For boutique wines, remember that the good years of each production area are extremely difficult. My "5 -point rule" may be a shortcut: since 1985, all years that can be removed by 5 are good.

6. Pay attention to the information on the back of the wine bottle. If it describes the flavor of the wine finely, it is recommended to match what foods are recommended, and it may imply too much marketing color. The information I personally tend to see is describing how this bottle of wine is made.

7. Bring your smartphone in order to view the ratings of wine, critic's point of view, and other wine enthusiasts.

8. Go to those independent wine retailers to find suggestions. If their suggestions are not appropriate, try to find another one until they find satisfactory.

9. For cheap white wine, especially peach red wine, choose the latest year.

10. If a bottle of wine is a special wine, ask the reason. Sometimes, the wine is cheap because the condition is not good or too old.

How to store wine

Old -style store shelves are not suitable for storing wine. The kitchen designer may recommend storing wine in the kitchen, but this is not a good idea, because the temperature of most kitchen fluctuates greatly and is not suitable for saving wine. Wine is something that requires suitable storage conditions, fragile, and vitality.

Here are some storage conditions in important order.

Temperature: low temperature, 135 is the ideal temperature, and it can also be between 10 ° C and 20 ° C. But the higher the storage temperature, the faster the wine is old. The temperature should be as constant as possible, and the wine does not like too much changes.

Light: It is very unfavorable to wine, especially for brewing wine. We must avoid light as much as possible.

Strong odor: It should be avoided as much as possible and may contaminate wine.

Humidity: The ideal humidity should be 75%relative humidity. If the air is too dry, the cork will become dry and shrink, and the air will come in; if the humidity is too high, the wine will not be affected, but the label will be moldy.

These factors mean it is difficult to find a suitable storage place. The wine cellar is the most ideal. The bedroom closet that is rarely used is another reasonable alternative option. Storage with the cottage in the courtyard, the wine may be risked by frozen.

There is a company called Spiral Cellars that can install a series of specific shape bricks to form a spiral staircase. The open space can be placed in the open space. I also set up one in my garden courtyard, but the root of the tree pierced the outer rubber cover, which caused its environment to become very humid.

There is also a relatively safe, but a lot of inconvenience is that the wine is stored in a professional place for wine. You can pay for the box or year -on -year, and then re -calculate the price when you are transported into or out of the wine. Such professional places can help you record the data of this remote wine cellar.

03

Which wines need aging

We usually think that wine will become better due to aging, but this is only suitable for less than 10%of all wine today.

Most wines, especially peach red wines and most white wines, and even basic red wines, that are these wines sold in the mass market, they are drank within one year after the installation bottle.

Only those special, most expensive wines, especially wines from France and Italy, are designed to store for many years after buying or even aged for decades. Even these wines may have been in their adolescents when drinking, because people tend to keep these wines and wait for a special occasion or special talent to enjoy. Most of the interesting wines in the world can get more complexity and fun in the bottle for a period of time.

In short, those wines that need to be aged in the bottle are usually because of the bottle during the bottling process, so it takes 1 to 3 months of "recovery" to show its true expression. Young white wines will look too dry in the first few months, while young red wines often converge too much in the early days, and tannin feels too strong.

There is a common rule, the more expensive the wine in a specific species, the more worthy of aging. This is the reason why the most expensive bottle in the store is not the most reasonable to choose the most reasonable choice if you want to choose a bottle of wine that are consumed immediately. But there is an obvious exceptional exception. It is the perfect model of heavy wine made by Viognier with Viognier. The price is not cheap, but it is generally not necessary to continue aging.

On the other hand, in addition to extremely professional consumers, once a person thinks that a bottle of wine is worth retaining, he is not willing to open it. Therefore, this bottle of wine will always be placed, and it is often placed in a less suitable environment until it misses its best drinking time.

Therefore, many people who buy cheap wines do not realize that these wines should drink when the wine is young, so in fact, more wine is too late, not too early.

Have you drank a lot of wine, but do you still don't understand it? Have you also read some books, check some materials, and take some lessons, but do you still drink a bottle of wine? Do you don't know how to choose a reliable wine entry guide?

The British Queen's wine cellar consultant, the top of the wine list of the wine power list, one of the three major wine critics in the world, Jessis Robinson came to your living room and teach you to understand a bottle of wine. Seeing the queen of wine, how to make it simplified, let you turn into a top wine master in the 24th lesson.
