Decant the wine

Decant the wine by pouring it into a decorative container before serving. Wine decanters or wine aerators facilitate the wine to breathe and may improve the flavor of older red wines. Still wines should be poured towards the centre of the glass, while sparkling wines should be poured against the side to preserve the bubbles. When pouring wine, fill the glass only up to two-thirds which will allow the guests to swirl the wine, smell the wine and check out the wine’s “legs”The types of wine glasses in which wines are served are as important as the wine serving temperatures. The three main types of wine glasses are: White wine glasses (tulip shaped), Red wine glasses (more rounded and have a larger bowl), Sparkling wine flutes (tall and thin). At a dinner party, serve wine to the women and elderly guests first, then the men and finally your own glass.
