Chapter 0267 Mouth to Mouth
Yi Tianhao picked up the glass of wine in front of him again, and said with a smile: "Red wine, that is, red wine, and when did grapes appear?" : The grape appeared in southern France between about 1000 BC and 500 BC, after which it began to spread in much of the Mediterranean basin. Think about it, from 1000 to 500 B.C., our country was still just about to get rid of slavery, a very distant period. Later, some people began to make grapes into wine, that is, wine, which is the prototype of red wine, if it is placed in the previous era, this kind of red wine is only the nobility can be qualified to taste, which is equivalent to the symbol of nobility, so the red wine culture is also equivalent to the aristocratic culture. ”
Tong Xiaoxiao looked at Yi Tianhao and listened with relish, with a lazy and charming taste.
"When people think of wine, they think of France, why? Although France is not the first country to make wine, nor is it the country with the largest wine production, it is the land with the most good wines, and France produces some of the best wines in the world, whether it is Bordeaux's famous wines, Burgundy's priceless wines or aristocratic champagnes. The most outstanding of French wines is red wine, which has become a model for imitation in other countries, thus achieving the status of "wine kingdom". ”
Tong Xiaoxiao glanced at her bottle of red wine and said, "This bottle is the famous French brand 'Chenin Blanc'." ”
Tong Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "Can you tell me about this Bai Chenan brand?" ”
"Yes." Yi Tianhao smiled and said, "Bai Chenan grapes are also known as Bai Shi Nan and Bai Xiao Nan. Native to the Loire Valley in France, it belongs to the Eurasian species. It was introduced to China by Germany in 1980 and is now cultivated in Hebei, Shandong, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and other places. Chenin Blanc plants have medium or strong growth potential. High yield. It is a medium-late maturing variety. It is more cold-resistant, moderately or strongly resistant to disease, does not crack fruits, and has no daily burning. The wine produced by this variety is of good quality, light yellow in color, full of acidity and rich honey fruit, and the body is intact, which is one of the best varieties for making white wines. ”
"In South Africa, it's like a hard-working man, constantly brewing neutral, slightly sweet and everyday cheap dry wines. In New Zealand, it produces many different types of wine, from dry to very sweet, with a pronounced colour retention. In the Loire Valley, this long-established variety produces some of the most durable dessert wines, such as the famous wines Quartsdechaume and Bonnezeaux, and in good years, some aromatic dry white wines, such as Savennieres. ”
Tong Xiaoxiao nodded as if she didn't understand: "Oh, let me tell me how to taste the bar again." ”
Yi Tianhao smiled: "Wine tasting is like tasting tea, only cherishing the wind and moon, not knowing the scriptures, just like plowing the cow and drinking the canal." Wine tasting is not about drinking, wine tasting is a science. For example, if you don't have the cultivation of art and music, if you don't have the cultivation of art and music, it is impossible to say whether it is good or bad. Wine tasting is not the preserve of masters, don't think I can taste wine and think I'm a master, but once you master it, you will really enjoy the beauty of wine. ”
"It's like a **** before warming, and there must be a few actions before tasting. The goal is to make the effect more provocative and enjoyable. Wine is usually tasted by sight, smell and taste, which is similar to tea tasting. ”
Yi Tianhao continued: "Although you don't need to be a master for wine tasting, don't think that wine tasting is a simple thing, in fact, it requires many steps, such as decanting, wine temperature, wine glass, holding the glass, looking at the color, shaking the glass, smell, and entrance. ”
"Oh my God!" Tong Xiaoxiao said a little helplessly, "Isn't it just wine tasting, why is it so troublesome!" ”
Yi Tianhao said with a smile: "It's troublesome, in fact, it's very simple to do, I don't need to say anything about decanting, just give you a few simple steps, for example, this wine temperature, generally the temperature of white wine is between 10~16 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of red wine is slightly higher than that of white wine." Dessert wines, on the other hand, can be cooler, usually between 7 and 9 degrees Celsius. The exception to this is vintage champagne, which cannot be tasted at low temperatures, where its delicate flavors will be trapped and unable to be released. ”
"The influence of wine glasses on wine cannot be ignored. Choosing the type of glass is one of the most important aspects of wine tasting. The wide and narrow mouth of the glass is particularly easy to condense the aroma, so that the wine shows a very unrestrained aroma. Bordeaux red wine glass, the body of the glass is long, the mouth is narrow, and the flavor of the wine is concentrated in the mouth. The design of the narrow body and narrow mouth is to make the aroma of the wine not particularly outward, and it can show more subtle changes. Burgundy wine glasses have a short body, a wide belly, and a large mouth, which is suitable for putting the nose in and smelling the fragrance. ”
"What do you do with a cup?" Yi Tianhao smiled and made a demonstration, but saw Yi Tianhao stretch out his thumb, index finger, and middle finger to pinch the cup holder, unusually elegant, "This is the most standard posture, of course, if you are not used to holding it like this, you can pick it up in other ways, but remember, try not to hold the cup directly, although it is simple, it is the most unscientific." ”
Tong Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Isn't it just a wine glass, is there anything wrong with holding the wine glass?" ”
"Of course there is a problem, because the temperature of the palm of the hand will cause the wine in the glass to start to heat up, which will affect the temperature of the red wine."
Yi Tianhao gently picked up the wine glass and tilted it slightly, looking intently, while continuing: "Tilt the wine glass 45 degrees in front of the pure white background to distinguish the tone and shade. The area where the wine is close to the outermost edge of the glass wall is called the rim, and usually the thicker the wine, the narrower the rim, and the lighter or older the wine, the wider the rim, especially for red wines. ”
Yi Tianhao shook the wine glass again, and then said: "After the wine is in the hand, in order to increase the contact surface between the wine and the air and fully exude its fragrance, we should shake the wine glass in the hand to rotate in a circle parallel to the tabletop. Whether it should be clockwise or counterclockwise depends on personal preferences and habits. The denser, thicker, longer and longer the wine, the more alcohol, glycerin or sugar it contains, and the thicker and sweeter the wine. ”
Yi Tianhao then put the wine glass in front of his nose, took a gentle breath, and explained: "The focus is divided into three aspects: concentration, quality and variety. It is used to feel the aroma, intensity, delicacy and richness of the grapes. Just hold the glass close to the end of your nose and inhale slowly from the edge of your nose. Sometimes fruity, floral and other aromas are present at the same time, and this is what makes wine so attractive. ”
Yi Tianhao finally put the wine gently to his lips and took a small sip gently, but did not swallow it immediately, but chewed it repeatedly in his mouth, and then swallowed, and then said: "Don't swallow it immediately, but feel the taste of the wine, sweet and sour." Hold the wine in your mouth, chew and inhale, and stir it in your mouth repeatedly to allow the aroma to spread throughout your mouth. After the above actions, you can drink the wine. But the tasting doesn't end there, because the wine leaves a lingering aftertaste, which is the aftertaste. ”
"Alright." Yi Tianhao put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "This is a routine of wine tasting, but in fact, there is no need to copy it, it is nothing more than drinking, everyone has a different way of tasting wine, which varies from person to person." ”
After Yi Tianhao finished speaking, he saw Tong Xiaoxiao looking at him intently, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”
Tong Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "No, I just think my man is so good, you were so elegant when you tasted wine just now, just like a Western gentleman, I love you so much." ”
"Oh?" With a smile in his eyes, Yi Tianhao blinked his eyes and said with a wicked smile, "Love is not said with your mouth. ”
Yi Tianhao blinked again, leaned his head forward slightly, and whispered, "Love is to be made." ”
"Love is love that should be made." After Tong Xiaoxiao muttered, she instantly understood the meaning of Yi Tianhao's words, her face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly, "You are a big villain, a big pervert, a big lewd gun, and your head is full of that kind of thought." ”
Yi Tianhao laughed and said, "Don't you want to? ”
"Who says I don't want to?" Tong Xiaoxiao's eyes were like silk, and she said delicately, "Isn't someone's body already yours, and it can be dedicated to you anytime and anywhere." ”
Seeing Tong Xiaoxiao's bone-eroding appearance, Yi Tianhao swallowed his saliva, his throat immediately began to dry up, and the bottom began to gradually become hard, hard as iron!!
Tong Xiaoxiao suddenly picked up the goblet and got up and walked to Yi Tianhao, and gently sat down on Yi Tianhao's thighs, the soft delicate body, the tempting fragrance, suddenly teased Yi Tianhao's **, Yi Tianhao looked at Tong Xiaoxiao with fire in his eyes, Tong Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Actually, there is another way to drink red wine, Brother Hao definitely doesn't know." ”
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"Red wine can actually be drunk like this." Tong Xiaoxiao suddenly took a sip of the red wine gently, and then gently leaned her ruddy and sexy lips towards Yi Tianhao's mouth.
Oh my God, this little goblin is simply going to kill me, but if you can lose your life like this, it's a good thing to ask for, it is estimated that men all over the world are eager for this kind of ** way to die, ***, peony flowers are also merry to die ghosts, and I want to hook up with my brother to make the seduce more violent.
