【Etiquette】When drinking red wine, do you know the etiquette of red wine? Netizen: It turns out that I lost here!

Usually, when you finish ordering wine in a restaurant, the waiter will usually stand in front of you with a bottle in hand, and some people may not know what this means – in fact, the waiter is trying to make sure that you have chosen the right wine.

At this time, the correct thing to do is to check the origin, winery and year on the label of the wine, because these three are equivalent to the ID card of the wine. When checking the wine, at least accurately see whether these three pieces of information are consistent with what you ordered, so as to avoid the dilemma of taking the wrong wine.

 After the check, just nod to the waiter, which means OK.

After confirming that the wine label is correct, the waiter will open the bottle in front of everyone, so that customers can trust that the restaurant will not mix with lower-grade wine when opening the bottle.

The waiter will then place the cork in the tray for you to check. If the stopper has an unpleasant odor, or is even wet and wrinkled, or it dries out, it means that the stopper has no longer functioned as a closure and the wine has been destroyed by the air leaking in.

 At this point, you can remind the waiter to suggest a better bottle of wine.

This part can be said to be the part that tests people's understanding of wine etiquette. The waiter will pour about a small sip of wine into the customer's glass, and all you need to do is taste the wine.

First, pick up the glass with the wine in it and tilt it outwards to see if there are any things like sawdust that could affect the quality of the wine.

Secondly, look at whether the color of the wine is abnormal. Then you can tilt the wine towards the tip of your nose and lower your head to sniff it with your nose to see if there is any odor.

Finally, take another sip of wine, not too much and not too little, and turn your tongue to experience. At this time, you can decide whether to accept the bottle of wine, and if there is anything unusual about the wine, you can ask the waiter for a change or return of the wine.

After confirming the wine, the waiter will pour the wine for those present. At this time, we need to clink glasses for the first glass of wine, and the correct way to clink glasses for red wine is different from the common cup-to-cup and bowl-to-bowl in China.

The correct way to clink glasses should be to tilt the wine glass slightly, gently touch the widest part of the cup belly to the belly of the opponent's wine glass, and make a crisp "ding" sound.

After that, you can slowly savor the wonderful taste of red wine. However, be careful not to drink it all at once, the deliciousness of red wine can only be felt by tasting it carefully and slowly.
