In the middle, there is a long oval-shaped table. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On the info table, there are many, many plates.

On the plate, there are all kinds of moon cakes, red persimmons, red dates, Fuji apples, banana pears, cantaloupe, horse ** grapes, etc., as well as three bottles of French red wine, which are actually placed on the ice cubes in the wooden barrel.

Shi Jiawang knows that red wine is known as a living liquid, because red wine contains tannic acid, which is very rich in changes caused by contact with air.

The best way to tell the difference between a bottle of wine is to pour 2 glasses for the first time after opening the bottle, drink one glass first, and leave the other glass until the last to drink, and you can feel it very clearly. And she also knows that the time of change is not the same for each bottle, maybe 10 minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe two hours later.

How to discover the vitality of wine depends on your own feelings and experience.

Shi Jiawang stepped forward quickly, picked up a bottle of red wine, and looked at it: it is indeed French red wine, and the production area is actually one of the five most famous wineries in the Bordeaux Gironde River Basin, which is known as the "world's wine treasure house", and shouted:

"Brother Die, you actually invited us to drink such expensive red wine, hehe, I propose, we don't get drunk tonight and don't withdraw the army!

Tu Die smiled and asked Shi Jiaying: "Ah Ying, can you do it?"

Shi Jiaying even said: "I-hehe, accompany me to the end!"

Shi Jiawang immediately pounced, took a bite on his sister's face, and said in his mouth: "Sister, great! I knew you were also moved, hehe-I don't want to get drunk or give up~"

Tu Die smiled, opened a bottle of red wine, and said:

"Do you know how to taste wine?

Three steps:

1. Look at its color - pour the wine into the goblet, hold the foot of the cup, and see its color;

2. Smell its fragrance - shake the wine glass gently to release the aroma and smell the fragrance it emitted;

3. Tasting - Take a sip and let the wine dissolve on the tip of the tongue to feel its taste and sweetness. ”

Shi Jiawang sneered that the opportunity had come, and said with a smile:

"What? As far as I know, it's five steps: color, shake, smell, taste, and aftertaste. Hehe, Brother Die, yours is too concise.

(1) Color. To tell the color of the wine, it's best to have a white background and place the glass in front of it. You must understand that red wine also comes in purple, ruby, red, red, brown, and so on. Color tells you a lot about wines, such as red wines, which lose their color as they get older.

(2) Shake. In order to allow oxygen to enter the wine, because shaking will release esters, ethers and acetaldehyde, and give the wine an aroma with oxygen.

(3) Smell the wine. What does the wine smell like when the aroma is released? NOSE is a word commonly used by professional wine tasters to describe the overall smell of the wine, so that you can identify certain characteristics of the wine.

(4) Tasting. For most people, wine tasting is about taking a sip of wine and swallowing it quickly. But that's not called wine tasting. Wine tasting is something that is done with the taste buds. Remember that it is all around your mouth, on both sides of your tongue, on the back of your tongue, on the tip of your tongue, and extending to the base of your throat. If you're like most people drinking wine, you're missing all the important taste buds.

There's an old proverb in the wine industry: 'Buy wine with apples, sell wine with cheese.'" 'Apples bring out defects in wine, and cheese tends to soften the smell of wine.

(5) Aftertaste. Once you've had a chance to taste a wine, sit back and reflect on what you've tasted: light, medium-bodied, or full-bodied?

Then you can judge the wine: is it too strong or too astringent, is it pleasant, do you like the bottle, is it worth the price, is it the wine you want, or is it the wine you want to drink?"

Tu Die smiled and hehe, and then took over the topic and said:

"It seems that Ngawang really knows a lot about red wine~

So, tell me about the traditional French wine tasting?"

Shi Jiawang was stupid, really, she didn't know. She had just learned what she knew about wine tasting.

Shi Jiaying didn't show the mountains or the water, and said slowly:

"I know a thing or two, listen—

The first step in the general tasting of traditional French red wines is to have a warm and cold red wine taste. Traditionally, red wine is drunk at a cool room temperature, between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, at which all vintages are at their best. A chilled bottle of red wine has more pronounced tannin characteristics than a red wine at cool room temperature, resulting in a more astringent taste.

Step 2: Be able to decant the wine - the red wine is only fragrant when it is fully oxidized. A bottle of wine is usually dusty for many years, there will be a peculiar smell when it is just opened, then it is necessary to "wake up" the wine, pour the wine into the exquisite decanter and wait for ten minutes, the smell of the wine dissipates, the decanter generally requires the maximum contact surface between the wine and the air, after the red wine is fully oxidized, the rich aroma is revealed.

Step 3: Look at the wine – the old wine will have a brown edge. The red color of red wine is enough to make people feel seductive, and the basic requirement is that the wine glass is placed horizontally and the wine does not overflow. When the wine glass is placed horizontally on a white piece of paper in good light, the age of the wine can be determined by looking at the edges of the wine. Most of the well-layered wines are new, and those with uniform color are a little old, and if they are slightly brown, they may have come across an old bottle.

Step 4: Drink lightly – let the wine sit in your mouth for a few more moments. Before the wine is eaten, first smell deeply in the wine glass, at this time you can already understand the aroma of the red wine, and then swallow a sip of red wine, let the red wine stay in the mouth for a few more moments, the tongue rolls twice, so that the senses can fully experience the red wine, and finally swallow it all, a faint fragrance immediately lingers in it.

Step 5: Understand the wine order - taste the new wine first and then the old wine.

At a wine tasting party, professionals usually taste two or three bottles of red wine in order to achieve a contrasting effect. When drinking, we should follow the principle of "new first, old last, light first, strong last".

Remember, good red wine first from the appearance, the lighter the tone, the more; secondly, good red wine into the glass slowly shake, in the glass wall will have a little red wine hanging glass, red wine needs to use a special arc glass, in front of the nose slowly shake, the aroma of the wine will go up with the glass wall, slowly into the nose; after the entrance of the red wine, first use the tip of the tongue to taste, the good is sweet in the sour, less bitter, and then use the tongue to squeeze the red wine to the two sides of the mouth, with the two sides of the tongue to taste, at this time, the taste of the wine can be more revealed; after several tastes, and then slowly down the throat, the sweet and mellow, the aroma and charming taste will be all tasted。

If you use the method of students drinking draft beer and take a sip, it is simply a tyrannical thing, a sin, a sin!

My favorite thing is to put a bottle of red wine in the fridge for 1 hour and the temperature will drop below 20 degrees.

If you forget how long the red wine has been stored in the refrigerator, don't worry, just take the red wine out, open it and pour it into the glass, and after about 30 minutes, the temperature of the red wine will be about 20 degrees, which is what we call "room temperature".

I love the red wine at this time, it tastes amazing. ”

Shi Jiaying's eloquent feeling simply shocked the two of them, and they were all stupid.

It wasn't until Shi Jiaying stopped talking that Tu Die actually took it and said dumbfounded:

"Okay-okay! I've got everything ready, hehe-

Drink some French red wine with some Chinese dishes to eat, the taste is even more amazing.

Look at that plate with prawns and oysters, that plate with barbecued pork and Hainanese chicken rice, on that plate with Cantonese morning tea and roasted foie gras, on that plate with roasted shiitake mushrooms.

Of course, in the end, I will also go to give each sister a bowl of shark fin soup~

Over there, there's a big bottle of champagne, which is the perfect match~"

Shi Jiawang laughed out loud and said, "Sister-haha! You have stopped us-haha, look, Brother Butterfly, the whole thing has become a robot!Haha, there is really you, sister, when did you learn so much?"

Shi Jia smiled and looked at Tu Die, who completely stopped his tongue.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Shi Jiawang felt that the vinegar bottle was spilled in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

Shi Jiawang shouted, shouting exaggeratedly:

"Hey, guys, aren't we here to talk about wine?

We're here to reunite, we're here to admire the moon, we're here to invite the three of us to the bright moon, we're here to ask Qingtian about the wine, aren't we?

Okay, okay, now I announce: the opening of the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Appreciation Poetry Meeting-!"
