About wine, these widespread rumors, you may have been caught up for a long time

1. The older the wine is, the more fragrant the wine will be, and the older the year is, the better it will be.

In fact, most wines on the market, even if properly preserved, their fruit and taste can only be maintained for two or three years, so aging, it will not be better to taste, but the flavor will only be greatly reduced.

Of all wines, only about 10% of red wine and 5% of white wine will taste better after five years, and less than 1% of wines can still taste better after 10 years or even 20 years.


2. The deeper the bottom of the bottle, the better, the heavier the bottle, the bette

Some people say that good wine can last decades, will produce a lot of precipitation, so need a deep bottle bottom. Some wineries take advantage of this perception that, for marketing purposes, any wine is filled with a deep bottle bottom, so it is not true that a deep bottle bottom represents a good wine.

And know, in fact, for this kind of good wine, the best way to preserve is to place horizontally, so that the continuous wetting bottle plug to prevent the cork from becoming dry air leakage, resulting in liquor oxidation. In this case, the precipitation is deposited on the flask, the so-called deep bottle bottom collection precipitation, is not hit the face?

About this groove, actually has more practical function, for example, can make the bottom of the bottle stronger, can make the wine look a little more, pour the wine when the hand is more convenient, in a word, the bottom of the deep bottle is not necessarily good wine, both have nothing to do with.

In the same way, a heavy bottle can only indicate that the winery has put blood on the packaging and is not related to whether it is a good wine or not. Don't be careful when you buy wine, don't use it as the basis for judgment. Many of their own vineyards, in order to cater to the appearance of the guests, will use heavy-duty bottles.


3. Cork bottles are better than screw plugs.

Of course not。 The cork was first used to seal the wine, and the cork became popular because it was found to allow it to develop more flavours through tiny amounts of oxygen during the aging of the wine.

For wine, the ideal cork can provide a good environment for aging. While isolating the air, through extremely small amounts of oxygen, the flavor substance in the bottle is slowly aging without the reduction reaction due to extreme hypoxia.

On this point, with the development of science and technology, high-quality screw plug can also be achieved, its contact with alcohol part of the use of special organic gasket, but also can play similar to the cork air permeability effect. And the use of screw plugs can also eliminate the occasional cork on the corked problem. Some very good and even expensive wineries now use spiral caps to seal their top red and white wines, especially in countries such as Australia and New Zealand.


4. All "red wine" is to wake up.

First of all, you have to understand that sober wine is to make the compact tannins more supple, to make the closed aroma more open and complex, thus making the wine better to drink and easy to drink.

But just as not all wines are old and fragrant, not all red wines need to wake up.

Some wines are born with a short drinking life and have little capacity for aging, such as cheap wines, which, for most of the cheaper wines on the market (within 200 yuan), tend to lose aroma, and they are suitable for ready-to-drink. Simple and direct fruity is their most admirable place.

There are also elegant, low-tannins, such as Burgundy's Pinot, which are not really suitable to be thrown into the decanter, which is elegant in itself and more suitable to pour into a tummy glass, until it blossoms and tastes carefully.

Those who need to wake up are young undrinkable wines, young top white wines and vintage sweet wines.


5. A hanging glass is good wine.

No matter what other people say, hanging a glass is not the basis for judging whether a wine is good or bad, but you can judge the accuracy or sugar content of a wine by hanging a glass. Because most wines, good or bad, will have hanging glasses, but wine with higher alcohol accuracy or sweet wine, hanging glass marks will be more obvious.

The hanging cup is actually a typical phenomenon of the Gibbs-Marangoni Effect Gibbons Marangney effect, that is, the change of liquid surface tension caused by the evaporation of alcohol resulting in the formation of the phenomenon.
