The art of wine: sommelier Eva’s top 3 tips
Meet Eva, a passionate sommelier who has spent years perfecting the art of wine tasting. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just enjoy the occasional glass here are three simple yet essential tips to elevate your experience.
Time to enhance your tasting experience
- Temperature matters
Serving wine at the right temperature makes all the difference. White wines should be chilled but not too cold (around 10°C/50°F), while reds taste best slightly below room temperature (16-18°C/60-65°F). Too cold or too warm and the flavors won’t shine.
- Let it breathe
Red wines, especially full-bodied ones, benefit from aeration. Let your wine breathe for at least 15 minutes before drinking. This allows the flavors to develop and the tannins to soften.
- Choose the right glass
The shape of your glass affects how wine interacts with air and your taste buds. A larger bowl is ideal for reds, while whites do best in a narrower glass.
Enjoy your wine like a pro with these simple tips!
Cheers from Eva!
