The type of glass you use to drink wine can make a real difference; large wine glasses can really make a cheap bottle of wine taste like an expensive bottle. It is important to make sure the glass is right before you try and anything else and this is the most important element.
When selecting a glass that you want to enhance flavour look for a glass which is large and round with a very wide rim. It adds a psychological element by making it seem like an occasion, something special is happening while drinking the wine. This style of glass also allows more of the flavour and aroma to be released due to the wide rim as well as allowing the flavours to burst into your mouth as soon as you drink it.
The tips I would advice to get the most out of your wine is to make sure you decant it, warm the wine glass you use and eat salty snacks before you drink.
Doing such a simple thing as using decanters can make a serious difference to the taste. It’s important to decant your bottle of wine a least two hours before you want to drink it and make your you leave it at room temperature.
A warm glass may not sound much but does make a real difference. It is important to have the glass the same temperature as your wine room temperature. If your glassware is cold you can warm it up by running it under a warm tap for a minute.
Something a little different but does make a difference is adding salty snacks. Surprising salty snacks are great to prepare your taste buds for wine, so if you’re not serving wine before the meal salty snacks should be used.
Please do try these tips out when you next have a dinner party as I have found them to be really useful and they only require a little effort.
