Wine Parties at the weekend (2)

Here’s good news for those who don’t have any knowledge or any interest in wine!

When you feel like drinking some wine, you should do nothing but just care about the shape of glass you're use. I think that’s easy for you to remember .

If you feel like drinking some red wine, you should use a large, wide-mouthed glass. It makes you face front to drink it. On the other hand, when you try to drink some white one, you’re better to choose a slender glass. And you can realize you face up then.

I recommend you use glasses like this!

As you might know, red wine has an astringent taste. But you can experience a good taste rather than astringent if you keep red wine on your tongue. A large, wide-mouthed glass helps you keep wine on your tongue easily because of the weight and the shape.

As for white wine, it has a vinegary taste. But we can sense a sweet taste from it, so all you do is put white wine on the tip of tongue. If so, you can feel just sweet and deep taste rather than vinegary one.

If you compare drinking from an appropriate glass with a wrong one, you can definitely tastes the difference. It’s like a magic!!

Riedel, the wine glass company in Austria , helds a wine seminar last Sunday, and I joined it and tried wine tasting by comparing the glasses.

Though I don’t have the sensitivity of wine at all, I’m sure the Riedel glass makes the taste of wine better…it was an amazing experience for me.
