wine

Keep the wine cold: So that it cools down faster, wrap the bottle in a wet paper towel and place it in the freezer for ten minutes. If it's very hot or the wine is hot, let it sit for a longer time.
Never put ice in the wine glass. Instead, use frozen grapes to chill the wine already in the glass. That way, you will not reduce the drink with water.

How should I store a wine after opening?… Place the cork after serving a glass. When the wine is refrigerated, can last fresh from 3 a 5 days. Do not leave the bottle open if it is not necessary.

If you have not yet opened that special bottle of wine, remember: keep it lying down. In this way the cork stays moist. Once the optimum temperature and humidity have been reached, it is necessary to keep them constant. A sudden change in any of these variables can damage the wine.

If you are in a restaurant: It is preferable to order a bottle instead of a glass. Some restaurants sell the glass for what the bottle cost them and on the other side, Sometimes the wine served by the glass has been open longer than it should to maintain its qualities.

Has the wine stained your clothes?… If the stain is recent, pour some milk into it and let it dry. After an hour, the stain should disappear.

Wine aerators: Wine can take up to half an hour to oxygenate. But if you do it with an aerator, you can consume it almost instantly.

The best wine, not the most expensive: The truth is that the best wine is the one you like the most, but it is also true that there are a large number of wines with excellent value for money. Sometimes that a wine costs double does not mean that it is twice as good. There are many cheap wines that, in its range, they are excellent and many very expensive wines that are very good but maybe not so much to justify their price. So… Try, test and test! The only way to know about wines is by tasting. The more you try, the more you will realize how much you still have to learn. Wine will always surprise you.

Now you just have to enjoy a good glass of wine!
