Wine, in all its forms, is an essential companion in meetings and celebrations. Although it is more accessible today than ever, with options ranging from boxes to cans, this does not mean that traditional tasting conventions should be forgotten.
Holding a wine glass properly Not only does it add to the taste experience, but it also shows respect for the drink and those who enjoy it.
according to Live SouthThe correct way to hold a wine glass may seem like a minor detail, but it’s actually a significant effect on temperature and, therefore, in the taste.
The basic rule is that you must Hold the glass by the stem, not the calyx. This not only prevents the heat of your hand from changing the temperature of the wine, but also prevents fingerprints being left on the glass.
To hold the cup properly, the leg should be pinched between the thumb, index and middle finger, allowing the other fingers to rest gently on the bottom. This method, although it might be a little uncomfortable at first, guarantees that the wine stays at the best temperature, which is particularly important in terms of white wine and rose, which are served cold.
Red wine, for them, They should be served just below room temperature, and the correct grip of the cup helps to maintain that delicate difference.
In addition to how to hold the cup, it is important to know some basic rules about it how to serve different types of wine. At formal gatherings, white wine is served before red, and sparkling or dessert options are presented last, each with its own set of service expectations.
However, in more casual events, a open bar where guests can choose their wine the choice is completely acceptable.
Another point to consider is protocol for serving wine to a guest. Although it may be a safe and common choice, it is important to present it in a way that suggests that it is a gift to be enjoyed at another time, and it is not obliged to be opened during the evening. A good strategy is to bring two bottles: one to enjoy on the occasion and one as a gift.
These rules of etiquette are not only add to the wine experiencebut also showing knowledge and respect for this ancient tradition.
