ALWAYS BUY WHAT YOU LIKE
Add ice cubes to your white wine if you like, and forget about the snooty bartender’s reaction!
Rule(s) #1Slide3
Crisp = acidityLess strong, more neutral in terms of
flavour
Temperature, cooler is better
In fact, for “bargain” wines, cold is key
Refreshment FactorSlide4
Dry = little or no sugar
“Off-dry” = some noticeable amount of sugar
Tannin / Tannic – tannins are the gritty,
grippy
components that stick to your teeth and gums – think strong black tea with no milkAcid – measured by how much your mouth waters, or doesn’t, when drinking a wine
Other Key DefinitionsSlide5
Party Format: Good to Knows
Large format bottles offer better value
Large format bottles hold their chill longer
Large format bottles take longer to chillSlide6
Don’t just add ice to your ice bucket, use a mixture of 50/50% ice and water – the additional surface area of cold will chill the bottle faster
Add a ¼ cup of salt to your water and give it a quick stir before adding the ice - salt water chills to a colder temperature
Any red will be more refreshing if you put it in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving it “cellar temperature”
Professional Tips: ChillingSlide7
