When it comes to serving wine, there are a few key things to keep in mind to ensure that you’re doing it correctly. There are several factors that can impact how a wine tastes and smells, including its temperature, the glassware it’s served in, and even the way it’s opened. Here are some tips on how to serve wines like a pro:

1. Temperature: The temperature at which wine is served is one of the most important factors in how it tastes. Red wine is typically served at room temperature, which is around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if the room is warmer than that, it’s a good idea to chill the wine slightly to avoid it becoming too warm. White wine and rosé are best served chilled, at around 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit. And sparkling wines, champagne, and Prosecco should be served very cold, at around 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Glassware: The type of glassware you use can also have an impact on how the wine tastes. For example, red wine glasses are typically larger and wider than white wine glasses, which allows the wine to “breathe,” or aerate, and helps to release its flavor and aroma. White wine glasses are typically narrower and smaller, which helps to retain the wine’s aroma and keep it cooler. And sparkling wine glasses, like flutes, are tall and narrow, which allows the bubbles to rise to the top and enhances the wine’s effervescence.

3. Opening the bottle: There’s a certain art to opening a bottle of wine, and it’s important to do it correctly to avoid damaging the cork and ruining the wine. First, make sure the bottle is at the right temperature. Then, remove the foil, and wipe the top of the bottle with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris. Insert the corkscrew into the center of the cork, and twist it gently until the corkscrew is fully inserted. Wiggle the cork back and forth to loosen it, and then pull it out slowly and gently. Be sure to hold the bottle steady and keep the cork close to the bottle to avoid any spillage.

4. Decanting: Decanting is the process of pouring wine from the bottle into a decanter, which allows it to aerate and open up. This is typically done with red wines that are more than a few years old, as it can help to soften any harsh tannins and improve the wine’s flavor. To decant a wine, first, pour it slowly and steadily into the decanter, being careful not to disturb any sediment that may have formed. Let the wine sit in the decanter for at least an hour before serving, to allow it to aerate and reach its full potential.

5. Serving: When it comes time to serve the wine, there are a few etiquette rules to keep in mind. First, never fill a glass more than halfway, to allow room for the wine to breathe and swirl. Hold the glass by the stem, to avoid warming the wine with your hand. And be sure to serve whites and lighter wines before reds and heavier wines, so that the lighter wine doesn’t get overwhelmed by the stronger flavors of the red.

By following these tips, you can become an expert at serving wine and ensure that every bottle you open is enjoyed to its fullest potential.
