Something to know about Wine

Organic grapes.?Grapes grown organically (without pesticides) have more polyphenols and antioxidants than conventional grapes do.

Grapevines produce antioxidants as a?natural way to protect?against microbes and pests.

Organic vines aren’t artificially protected by chemical sprays, which means they produce many more antioxidants to survive.

Natural Wines.?Commercial processing techniques like extreme filtration damage or remove many of the good compounds in wine. Manufacturers often replace them with artificial coloring and lab-created yeast strains.

Low sulfites.?Sulfites kill bacteria to stabilize a wine. The lower the sulfites, the more alive a wine remains. You can see the difference under a microscope – low-sulfite wine is vibrant with a diverse spectrum of wild bacteria and yeast.

Sugar-free, low-alcohol wine.?Sugar and alcohol are the two biggest toxins in wine. That’s why all our wines are lab-tested to be sugar-free and low-alcohol (below 12.5% alcohol by volume).

By drinking moderate amounts of sugar-free, low-alcohol Natural Wine, you’ll help keep the companions in your gut healthy and happy, and in turn, they’ll take good care of you.

You can enjoy the pleasure of artisanal wine while supporting a strong body and a sound mind.

Navigating the vast world of wine drinking can be daunting for new wine drinkers.

While you might roll your eyes at such pretension, remember that all you really need to drink wine properly is to be curious and eager to try new things. Still, it doesn’t hurt to have a few handy tips and techniques to enhance your?wine tasting?experience.

Before you pop that cork, there are a few essentials you should know. And if you consider yourself a bit of a connoisseur already, it never hurts to brush up on the basics.

?Having at least a general understanding of winemaking techniques and the words used to describe a wine's aromas, texture, and taste will help you appreciate the subject more as you continue to learn and experiment.?

Wine flavors can be dry or sweet. Dry wine has no residual sugars, therefore it doesn’t leave any sweetness on the palate.

These wines are often served as aperitifs or during dinner. On the other hand, sweet wines are typically served after meals as dessert wines,

Red wine ?, such as Cabernet Sauvignon,?is made from black-skinned grapes. The skin and juice make contact during processing, which results in a rich red color.?

White wines?like Chardonnay are usually colorless since the grape skins don’t make contact with the grape juice.

Sparkling wine, such as Brut or Champagne, is often made using a two-step fermentation process and is considerably more labor-intensive than other winemaking techniques.

Ros,e wine?is made by blending white and red grapes, or only red grapes.

Your Comments….

Orange wines?(yes, they exist) are made from white wine grapes using the same skin-contact process as red wines.?

Forget everything you’ve been told about only serving red wine at room temperature or chilling white wine hours before opening. While these are often cited as set-in-stone rules, they are more general guidelines that don’t require strict adherence.

That said,wine temperature??shouldn’t be ignored since it does affect the way wine tastes.

The crisp flavors of white wine can be muted when served too cold, while red wines that are served too warm can taste overly acidic. wine at the right temperature brings out its full flavor, texture, and character.

White wines, sparkling wines, and rosés are ideal between 45-50 degrees, depending on the varietal.

Heavier white wines like Chardonnay, or lighter reds like pinot noir, should be served between 55-60 degree.

Generally speaking, red wine is best served between 60-65 degrees.

-It's important to note that the optimal temperature for drinking wine varies depending on the type of wine. For instance, heavier white wines like Chardonnay, or lighter reds like Pinot Noir, should be served between 55-60 degrees, while red wine is best served between 60-65 degre

The Role of Glasses

Along with having the right tools and suitable serving temperature, each variety of wine needs a particular style of glass. Sure, you can drink wine out of any container (we certainly won’t judge if you want to drink it?straight out of a bottle, but the type of glass you choose can make a significant impact on your wine drinking experience.

When it comes to choosing a wine glass, the most important feature is the surface diameter of the top of the glass. It should be large enough for you to breathe in a wine’s aromas.?

If you fail to smell the wine you're drinking, your tasting experience will be incomplete. The same principle applies when tasting something spicy; if you pinch your nose, you lose some of the burning sensation in your mouth. Wine glasses with a larger brim allow more aromas to waft into your nose. Glasses with a smaller circumference consolidate those aromas.

Red Wine Glasses?

Glasses for red wine tend to have a larger bowl, which lets the wine easily come into contact with oxygen. This allows the wine to breathe and enhances its overall flavor.

Red wine drinkers who prefer bold and robust blends often prefer a tall glass (bowl) that allows oxygen to access the wine's?tannins, and thereby reduce the wine’s bitter taste.

The shape of the glass pushes the wine to the back of your mouth, allowing you to take full advantage of the flavors. With Bordeaux, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon there are a lot of tannins that need to breathe?—?a tall bowl that narrows slightly at the brim allows plenty of room for the aeration process.

White Wine Glasses?

Glasses for white wine have a U-shaped bowl, which serves to keep the wine cooler for a longer period. Compared to red wines, these wines need less oxygen to release their aromatics.?

Sauvignon Blanc is best served in a smaller glass (with a slightly tapered mouth) as it encourages the wine to the middle of your mouth. By contrast, Chardonnay is best served in a wide white wine glass that allows plenty of oxygen inside to amplify the aromas.?

The Chardonnay wine glass is generally recognized as the largest and widest glass associated with white wine, and the shape of the glass?—?with its narrow rim?—?lets the wine flow toward the middle of the tongue, allowing drinkers to appreciate the balance of fruit and acidity.

Chardonnay should be served six degrees warmer than most white wines, which is another reason why the glass is so broad compared to a typical white wine glass that needs to keep the wine much cooler.

An important factor when considering how to drink white wine, particularly Chardonnay, is the choice of glass. The wide glass allows plenty of oxygen inside to amplify the aromas. The shape of the glass, with its narrow rim, lets the wine flow towards the middle of the tongue, enabling drinkers to appreciate the balance of fruit and acidity.

Rosé Wine Glasses

Since rosé should be served cold, the perfect glass shape for this type of wine depends on the blend. A glass with a long stem and a flared lip is ideal for serving young rosé wines, whereas a squat bowl-shaped glass or stemless wine glass will accentuate the aroma of a mature rosé.

Sparkling Wine Glasses

Sparkling wine and Champagne is traditionally served in a fluted wine glass with a short-to-medium stem and a tall, narrow bowl.

This shape is considered ideal for all things bubbly because it maintains the effervescence and preserves the taste.

Unique beads at the base of the glass group the bubbles together and encourage them to travel up to the surface.
