TOP TIPS, TRUTHS & MYTHS Corks and corked wine. Reality is 5%-10% of all bottles are effected by TCA commonly called cork taint, yep probably one in every case of wine What is it? Corked wine describes wine tainted with the chemical compound TCA (2, 4, 6- trichloroanisole). What does this mean well instead of the bright, fruity deliciousness from a wine as I would expect, there is the musty, damp-cardboard-dank basement, wet dog like smell of cork taint. So if 1 in 10 bottles can be effected its absolutely worth checking your second bottle of the same wine before topping up your glass! Don’t make the wine angels cry by mixing bad wine into good… #corkedwine #corks #wineangels

There are countless people buying wine daily, but what do they do with all of it? They definitely do not drink it all in one session; they store it. But storing wine is more complex than leaving it on the counter and calling it a day. Wine needs to be appropriately stored, depending on the type of wine and who you are as a drinker.? ? Many factors come into play when storing wine:? 1. Temperature: Maintain stable temperature around 55°F? 2. Humidity: 50-80%? 3. Light Exposure: Store in cool and dark areas? 4. Position: Lay the bottle flat on its side to reduce movement and keep the cork hydrated? 5. Odors: Wine "breathes" through its cork, and any off-odors within the area can get into the bottle over time, ruining the flavor and aroma.? ? Of course, if you plan to drink your wine within a few days, simply storing it in the fridge is all you need.? .? .? .? #wine #education #italianwine #winestagram #vin #learning #winestorage #winefridge

Does your wine taste sour? Don’t drink it. Once you open a bottle of wine, it comes into contact with oxygen and the resultant reaction turns your wine into vinegar. That’s why, you might have heard someone say that you should finish your bottle of wine in one go. The idea isn’t to get you drunk but to ensure that your wine doesn’t go to waste. Also, a sour taste isn’t the only characteristic of a wine god bad. Watch out for these signs too: 1?? Does your wine look dull and cloudier than it did when you opened the bottle? 2?? If it is a red wine, has it turned brownish in colour? 3?? Does it have a sharp and sour smell, like a paint thinner or nail paint remover? 4?? Has it developed bubbles? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then chug your wine down the drain and make sure that the next time you have an unfinished bottle of wine, you’ll seal it properly, put it in the fridge and finish it off the next evening. #sonalholland #masterofwine #winetips #winelover #winetime #winetasting #winestorage

Why Is Wine Stored On Its Side? What's the ideal way to store wine? Would the cork get too dry if the bottle is upright? Too many questions regarding the storage of wine. Let’s understand why today:? 1?? Many wine bottles are sealed with a cork. If this cork dries out, the bottle's wine can spoil as it might let air in and deteriorate the wine. 2?? By positioning the wine bottle horizontally, the liquid inside ensures the cork remains damp, thus safeguarding the wine against spoilage. It's also important to note that wine bottles equipped with a screw cap do not require horizontal storage. Did you learn something new today?

What does the word reserve on a bottle wine mean ? Have you purchased a bottle of wine, just because you saw ‘Reserva’ on the label? Reserva is definitely a choice cue for many, but do you know what it really means? Reserva is a term used on wine labels to denote a wine of quality and cellaring ability. The term is used differently across the world. While it is regulated in many Old World regions, the New World has very few rules governing the use of “reserva”. Therefore, the term is often over-used, as a marketing tool. Let me know in the comments below what are some of the other wine terms you would like to know about?

Brace yourselves for our final Whisky Sponge bottling! When it came to choosing the liquid for our very last edition of Whisky Sponge, firstly, it had to be an excellent dram (that's a given), but we also wanted it to be something a bit different, something special and something we had a strong, collaborative role in creating... So, we started work on this 7-year-old Ardnamurchan last year when we selected eight octaves: four from 2017 and four from 2016. These were a mix of peated and unpeated, 1st fill and 2nd fill, that we combined in a refill sherry butt for around six months. The outcome: high quality, different, collaborative, forward facing and fun! You can expect a nose that hits you with tangy sherry, walnut wine, and a splash of balsamic vinegar, all wrapped in hessian and smoky bacon. Underneath, layers of rich, peppery peat collide with fruit jams and wood spice. The palate is bold and peaty, with savoury notes of cured meats, rancio and fruit chutney. The finish is long, smoky, meaty, and peaty with those tangy sherry and balsamic notes hanging around. It’s a delicious end to Whisky Sponge's five-year reign – Launching Monday 12th at 10am! #WhiskySponge100 #DecadentDrinks #Finale #Ardnamurchan #WhiskyTasting #PeatyGoodness #ardnamurchan #ardnamurchandistillery #lovehighlandwhisky #smallbatch #lovewhisky #whiskysponge #whiskyspongeedition100 #sherrycask #refillcask #sherryoctaves #fruitywhisky #modernwhisky #decadentdrinks #endofanera

Here are some easy ways to impress a wine snob: ?? Tip 1: Stare longingly into the glass and observe the color. Is it opaque or lightly translucent? This simple act will make people think you know something. ?? Tip 2: Tilt your glass to the side and check out the legs. The thicker the legs, the higher the alcohol content. ?? Tip 3: Use descriptive adjectives like “fruit forward” or “bone dry.” These terms will make you sound like a wine expert. ??? Tip 4: Always insist that the wine needs to breathe, even if it doesn’t. Using a decanter can help with this. ?? Tip 5: Hold your glass by the stem, not the bowl, to keep from warming the wine and to appear more sophisticated. Cheers to impressing with your wine knowledge! ?? #PoisedProper #WineEtiquette #WineTips #WineSnob #DiningEtiquette #WineLovers #Cheers #SophisticatedSipsI
