White wines
How to drink?
- Chill For 30-45 Minutes Before Drinking.
- Always Use The Right Glass.
- Pick A Wine That Complements The Meal.
Many people think you should throw a bottle of white wine in the refrigerator as soon as you buy it and leave it there until youâre ready to drink it, whether thatâs tonight, tomorrow, or two weeks from now. Leaving white wine in the fridge for too long will distort your flavor and makes all of your wines essentially taste the same. Instead, pop the bottle into the fridge when you start cooking dinner, and it will be good to go by the time youâre ready to start eating.
White wine should be sipped out of a glass with a much narrower mouth than red wine and it should be held at the stem to keep the wine chill.
While white wines are very versatile in terms of food pairings, certain wines pair better with some foods than with others. If you pick a wine that doesnât complement the flavors of the food youâre eating, it can leave a bad taste in your mouth. Literally. Use this simple chart to help you pick the wine thatâs best for what youâre eating.

Red wines
How to drink?
- Let the wine breathe. The key to enjoying the flavor of red wine is to allow it to oxidize. What this means is that you are trying to get the wine to aerate. As it breathes, the character of the wine is allowed to come out. This is also the reason why you would swirl the wine before taking a sip.
