Procedure:
The art of drinking wine starts in opening a bottle of wine; whether it’s Red or White wine the presentation of the bottle is important. Opening and presenting the bottle to a guest is very important. Red wine is serve at room temperature because red wines are not usually enjoyed chilled. First you present the wine to the guest and as much as possible you avoid any contact of the bottle with your fingers. Use at least three fingers to hold the bottom of the wine and two fingers at the neck. Then when they approve the wine use your waiter’s best friend to open the wine; avoid contact as much as possible and the “popping” sound of the cork should not be heard. Put the cork on the bread plate located in the table of the guest for red wines while for white wines and rose put the cork in the wine bucket. Some people like to examine the cork of red wines because red wines have a lot of tannins and some people can tell how the wine would taste like by looking at the cork. Then pour the wine into its specific wine glass; red wines need to be oxidized first to unlock its flavour so a red wine glass with a larger rim than white wine glass is highly recommended

After the wine has been poured into its specific glass, the first step to do is examine the color of the wine by tilting the glass parallel to the white table cloth so that the light will pass through the wine and the color will be seen on the white table cloth. Red wines are red because of the skin of the grape that was included while mashing the grape while the grapes of white wines are peeled that gives it yellow or gold color. Then swirl the glass in a circular motion, holding it on the bottom of the glass, to oxidize it more. Smell the aroma of the wine by covering the rim with your hand and give a small opening to smell its unlocked aromas; repeat to smell other aroma. Then finally the attack, slurp the wine little by little to oxidize it more; and it taste better than gulping it. Gulping the wine will taste more in the alcohol side of the wine while slurping it will give a balance taste of the grape and the alcohol. All of the procedure applies to all table wines such as red wines, white wines, and rose. Other variety of wines such as port wines, mix with brandy, ice wines, and others, may vary in appreciating them.

I would recommend to try other types of wine from different regions because the taste varies. A California Chardonnay 2004 taste different than a New Zealand Chardonnay 2004 because the climate plays a huge role in culturing the grape. The climate plays a big role because the temperature of a region gives the grape its characteristic; either it’s sweet or its sour. In Canada they have a specialty wine called Ice Wine. The grapes of the ice wines are picked when the surrounding of the grape is iced. The colder the grape that has been mashed more crystallization or the sweeter the wine will be. Ice wines or sweet wines are paired with deserts and spicy food; so that the taste will either compliment the desert or ease the spiciness of the food. I would suggest trying other wines from different regions and determining which grape grows best and taste best.
