Wine accessories

Of course, the first thing I would say is the glass. The influence of glasses on the perception of taste is very important when drinking wine. But in order to satisfy not only taste buds but also visually enjoy the process, equally important is its appearance.

If you create your own collections, experts suggest to have the following wine glasses:

• Champagne glass – it serves as champagne and sparkling wine.
• A glass of fresh white wine – the Riesling glass/SauvignonBlanc.
• A glass of barrel-aged white wine – a glass of OAKed Shardonnay/Montrachet.
• Glass berry not tannic red wines – glass PinotNoire.
• Glass tannic, structured red wines – a glass of CabernetSauvignon.
• A glass of fortified wine – a glass of Port.

To facilitate the unsealing of the bottle, you certainly needed a corkscrew.

There are different models.

The very first model, created in England in the distant 1795 – the usual screw rod with handle.

The Screwpull corkscrew, created by G. H. Allen in 1979.

Knife sommelier lever corkscrew, very easy to use while in the possession of special skills. Opening the bottle with a knife sommelier – you can interest your guests.

Pouring wine, there is the possibility of spotting or a drop on the tablecloth. To avoid this problem, invented a few devices:

DropStop is a flexible metallic disk 76 mm in diameter. Coated with a special food film. Is inserted into the neck of the bottle and is suitable for bottles of different diameter. Very simple and effective to use. Also, it is very durable. With their thin it undermines the stream and does not allow the formation of droplets.

Ring – only suitable for bottles of classical forms. The material that is inside the construction – absorbs the liquid and prevents leakage. The ring is easy to clean.

Petal – not very practical to use because it is made of plastic and quite fragile. Plus, this drip tray is that it looks very stylish on the bottle.

Nozzle – is used for standard neck. The design is arranged in such a way that the last drops of wine fall back into the bottle. This accessory has a simple design, manufactured of food-grade plastic.

To maintain the correct temperature when serving wine using special coolers for bottles:

The cooler is iron or plastic bucket. The amount of ice depends on the ambient temperature, usually filled with 2/3 of its volume. Different colors and sizes.

Case – very convenient device. Worn on the bottle while serving wine. Prior to this filled with a special gel cover, chilling in the fridge. Convenient it is the fact that there is no need to wipe the bottle of wine as when you use the cooler.

Basket for wine when serving red wines. Especially important when drinking older wines with sediment.

Placed in a basket for wine bottle collects the sediment in such a way that prevents it from raising, for example, when pouring wine into a decanter.

Now a few words about decanter. This glass carafe. Old, Mature wines often require decanting, as a precipitate at the bottom. Transfusion please note, in order to precipitate fell into a decanter. Not only old wines with sediment in need of decanting. Young tannic wine in need of transfusions. This gives you the ability to get enough oxygen guilt and be ready to eat. This process is called aeration. Sometimes decantate young wines can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

Decanters are usually made of glass or crystal. They are transparent and designed for standard size wine bottles.

A measuring instrument for wine. Was created by the chemist and oenologist Lorenzo Zanon, who, in turn, worked with the best sommeliers of Europe. “Key wines” – allows to obtain information about what the wine will be in a year.

The operating principle is quite simple – the “key” drops in 100 ml wine and in just a second you will get information about wine. More than 95% of cases the information is correct.

It is important to know – “the wine key” ages wine. The penetration of metals into the liquid is eliminated.

A special set for the determination of wine aroma. It was created by the French oenologist Jean Lenoir. The set includes 54 of the bottle with the most common and typical wine aromas, as well as cards describing scents and the wines in which they can meet. There is also a set of smells of spoiled wines.

Set used by professionals, but for beginners it can be very interesting.

To determine the temperature of the wine. There are 2 types of thermometer in the form of a ring.

The ring detects the temperature of a bottle of wine outside. The thermometer lowered inside.

A special kind of cold arms, which open the sparkling wine. The open procedure is called sabrage. Very impressive action. In France, sabrage is entered in the category of high art.
