  12. It depends from the wine.

    A main distinction is between red, usually drank at environment temperature and whites (or green or pink) usually drank chilled at temperatures that may vary, but often around 9 to 11 C.

    Red wines (some red wines) have , generally speaking, a longer lifetime, so a red older than three or four  years (if it is not a vin nouveau) has more possibility to be good than a white of the same age (there are serious exceptions, and champagne is a world apart)

    A wine, mainly an old wine, should breath before drinking, in order to develop its whole taste and parfum: that is why it is always better (excluding restaurants , where it is considered bad)  to open the bottle in advance. for very old wines (over 10 years), I suggest at least 3 to 4 hours before .

    It is also better to pour wines, mainly if you don't have enough time to let them breath in the bottle, to pour them from the bottle and into a decanter, paying attention to do not pick up the residues on the bottom of the bottle.

    As a decanter you may use a water carafe ( a glass or ceramic container with wide opening).

    You need to match the wine with the right food, but this is often linked to different tastes.

    As a thumb rule, red meat and meat based dishes, pasta and rice dishes requires red wines. Fish and salads match dry white or rose wines; Cheese, desserts matches more soft white wines. Champagne can go with everything and is usually mandatory with fruits or some desserts . Liquor wines like Porto, only in small quantities with cheese or desserts.

    The above rule has a lot of exceptions

    When you choose a wine in a restaurant, the sommelier usually opens the wine in front of you, check the bottom of the cork in order to see if any defect may have damaged wine by contact and pours a little quantity of wine in your glass. The bottle goes on the table , with cork aside on a little dish (like an espresso cup dish). Can go in  a cooler (a basin with water and ice) if it has to be kept cold

    You should check the cork for integrity, pick your glass, let the wine turn in the glass a little and check the colour on the glass sides: a brownish colour may mean that the wine is too old or has been damaged by humidity or oxidized due to a bad cork.

    Then you smell your wine to catch the bouquet (the back aroma) and drink, through your teeth a littke quantity that you will send to the backsde of your mouth and keep there, mixed with air, for a moment.

    You will feel different tastes and you have to like the results. If the smell or taste are strange you can refuse the bottle

    Glasses are different, depending from the type of wine: also on this subject there are different theories

    They should always have stem (to dont change wine temperature) and must be transparent. Often a bordeaux or burgundy glass shape is ok for all the reds, and also for plain whites (sometimes glasses for whites are smaller), while sparkling whites are drank in smaller and taller  chardonnay glasses.

    Champagnes are drank in tall "flutes" : they allow you to check the perlage, or the continuity and size (smaller the better) of little bubbles that are the main index of quality of a champagne (while the low, wide cups (saucers) are mainly for sweet champagne and cocktails)

    Hope is enough: the best way, really, is just a wine you like with your friends and without formalism
