• Wines do not store well in fluctuating temperatures. They are best stored at a consistent temperature averaging between 18-21 degrees Celsius, 24 hours a day, away from direct sunlight.
• Remember to keep your bottles lying down to ensure the cork is kept moist.
• Breathing the wine is a useful idea. A wine open to the air "exchanges gases" - takes in oxygen and gives off unwanted ones like sulphides. This enhances the essential aromas and softens the flavours.Placing red wine in the refrigerator for too long may "shock" the wine and interrupt the intended flavour and taste.
• 80% of the wine you can smell. Using this sense before you consume wine adds to the pleasure of the experience.
• A corked wine is not one with some cork floating in it! Corkness occurs randomly in wine corks and can destroy a wine in less than 6 months. You recognize a corked wine by its mouldy and deprived characters which comes from the management process of the trees and the processing of the bark they are made of.
• Wine is made for your enjoyment! There are NO hard and fast rules when it comes to combining wine with food. If you like big reds with white meat or crisp whites with steak, it's your choice!
