38: Wine tasting

As soon as you enter the wine room, there is a cold light source, and an ambiguous atmosphere envelops the entire wine room.

Cold light source lamps are light sources that use chemical energy, electrical energy, and biological energy to excite (fireflies, neon lights, etc.). When an object emits light, its temperature is not higher than the ambient temperature, and in large wine cellars and private wine cellars, cold light sources are used as the main lighting tool, because incandescent lamps generate heat; Lamps produce a large amount of invisible ultraviolet light, which can seriously damage the structure of the wine, so it cannot be used as a lighting source in the wine cellar. Only cold light sources are the most suitable light sources for wine cellars.

For most wines, 14°C is ideal. Because, if the temperature in the wine storage room exceeds 18°C, the wine will age too quickly; If it is below 12°C, it will age too slowly. The humidity should be kept at around 70%, an excessively dry environment will shrink the cork of the bottle, and too much humidity will cause the cork to become moldy.

As soon as Wen Ying entered, Shen Ziqing took off her coat and draped it over her.

When Gu Xier saw it, he immediately frowned, pulled Shen Ziqing's coat off, and draped his blazer over Wen Ying.

Shen Ziqing was speechless to the extreme.

Wen Ying's soft voice: "How are you like a child." ”

Gu Xi replied: "That's how I am." ”

There are sofas, tasting tables, and wine opening utensils: corkscrews (seahorse knives), cap cutters, wine pourers, dripping rings and wine stoppers.

The wine tasting utensils are hand-blown crystal cups and decanters, which are light and translucent.

Crystal glasses are the best choice for drinking red wine. Because of its shape, it can bring out the aroma and flavor of the sake. However, ordinary people will not use it, because the crystal wine glass that is "thin as paper, sound like a sweet" is very easy to break. But a person like Shen Ziqing who pursues perfection will not care about this, because he has a clear purpose, and the pleasure of wine tasting is not to find simple drunkenness, but to carefully distinguish the subtle differences between different wines left in the nasal cavity and on the taste buds of the tongue.

There was once such a person who went to a famous winery to drink. When he tried to try the wine with a disposable plastic cup in his hand, the owner of the winery immediately snatched it up bravely and firmly. The owner of the winery believes that using disposable plastic cups to hold his long-cherished red wine is a complete desecration of red wine and a violation of his personality. Needless to say, the owner of the winery replaced the man with a goblet of wine.

Gu Xier looked at the woman beside him, and he felt that Wen Ying's charm lay in the inner mellow fragrance, as well as the inexplicable, smart and uncontrollable enchantment.

The sofa in the wine room is a leather sofa of the Chivas Regal brand, and the classical sofa has the characteristics of simplicity and generosity, but it lacks a due agility in addition to elegance. Therefore, the neo-classical sofa was also born, with the generous elegance of the classical sofa, and the unique freshness and liveliness, and the surrounding style is very harmonious.

Gu Xier sat on it with a butt and a lewd face: "It's like sitting in a woman's arms, it's so comfortable!" He changed his position again, reclining down, and sank in, feeling like falling into a swamp, "Mr. Shen, it's really a good life!" ”

He saw Wen Ying smiling, and said, "Don't you like me for looking like I haven't seen the world?" ”

Wen Ying's smile was also faint, like a light cloud, rubbed in melancholy.

Shen Ziqing skillfully took out a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and opened it.

He shook the glass gracefully, observing its feet flowing slowly; Tilt the glass at 45° to observe the color of the wine and the edges of the liquid surface, which determines the ripeness of the wine. Generally speaking, the color of red wine will gradually fade over time, when it is young, it is dark red with purple, then it will gradually turn to red or cherry red, then turn red to orange-red or brick red, and finally reddish-brown, Shen Ziqing is like observing a work of art.

He then shakes the wine and sucks it deep into the glass for 2 seconds.

Shen Ziqing poured a total of two cups and made a "please" gesture,

Wen Ying: "I don't drink. ”

Gu Xier thought to herself: It's a mistake, Xiao Nizi is a person who has to stay awake at any time, and she will not use alcohol to anesthetize herself because of a little thing. According to my estimation, Xiao Nizi should belong to the person who pours a cup.

Gu Xier picked up the goblet and drank it all: This Shen Ziqing will really enjoy it, he treasured a lot of Romani Kanti in 02, and he was here last time

Justine's also ordered this wine.

Shen Ziqing looked serious: "Women don't babble when they open their mouths to show the sexiest feelings. Instead, after tasting the wine, let it stay in the mouth for a while longer, so that the wine fills the entire mouth, and fully touches the cells of the mouth, so that it can taste and judge its nuanced taste. Taste with the tip of your tongue and then squeeze the wine to the sides to feel if the smell is just right, and to feel the characteristics of the flavor and the balance of the wine. After a few tastes, the woman will let it slowly go down her throat in her own way. ”

Gu Xier: How do I feel that you are driving!

Of course Wen Ying understood, but this kind of persuasion was like a vernacular to her, and she was unmoved. It's not that she doesn't understand the amorous style, but she has grown up in such an environment since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of such a high style. She understands when to get drunk and when to wake up.

Gu Xier has always been accustomed to doing it himself.

I poured myself a glass,

Shen Ziqing carefully explained to Wen Ying: "The wine glass with a small body and small capacity is used to drink sweet wine and port wine. The wine glass used to drink brandy is a wine glass with a large arc at the rim, a wide bottom, and a short neck. It is to increase the contact between the red wine and the air, so that the wine oxidizes lightly. In addition, the handle of the wine glass used for brandy is shorter, so that only two fingers can be used to hold the handle when holding the glass, and the palm of the hand naturally supports the body of the glass to warm the wine, and is easy to shake to increase the volatilization of the aroma, which is convenient for better taste. ”

Wen Ying listened patiently.

Shen Ziqing pointed to another wine glass: "When drinking champagne, the wine glass used is slender or tulip-shaped." This kind of cup allows for a better appreciation of the beautiful air beads that are constantly rising. The sophisticated champagne glasses have a customary construction: the stem is hollow like a tube and runs straight through the body. When the wine is poured into the glass, the steam beads rise upwards from the handle of the glass, which is very pleasing to the eye. ”

Wen Ying's soft voice said: "Mr. Shen knows wine very well. ”

Shen Ziqing: "A world of one person, listening to songs alone, walking alone, drinking alone, I don't like everyone to be drunk and I wake up alone, I would rather be drunk in my dreams for three lives." ”

Gu Xier muttered in a low voice: "It shows between the lines that I am single and very lonely!" Come and tease me! ”
