Have you ever enjoyed
a glass of wine in a restaurant so much that you went to your local wine store
to buy yourself a bottle? Well, there are several factors that can affect the
wine itself, as well as your perception of the wine.
Batch - Yes, the wine
may be the same vintage, but it may not be from the same batch of that vintage.
Temperature - The same wine served at different temperatures will taste
different. A white wine served too warm will lose its refreshing sharpness.
Breathing time - How
long was the wine you enjoyed so much allowed to breathe before it was served
to you? Smell - Our sense of smell is intimately tied to our sense of taste.
Stress - Your frame of mind does not just affect your psychological enjoyment
of the wine, it can actually affect your sense of taste.
Food - The food the
wine is enjoyed with will absolutely affect the way your taste buds process the
wine. Vine Advisor is an online community for vine and wine lovers.
1. Keep it moist. The
ideal humidity for wine storage is between 50%-80%. Placing a pan of water in
the area can help with conditions that would normally be too dry. You'll want
to particularly avoid putting your bottles in a place with sunlight. UV rays
can degrade and quickly age wine. This aversion to light is part of the reason
most bottles are dark green or brown. Too much shaking,
jostling, or vibration can cause premature aging.
2. Keep it horizontal. By
laying the bottle on its side, you're allowing the cork to stay moist. 3. Keep
track. Wine storage can be a fun undertaking that can improve the taste and
experience of drinking both whites and reds.
