When storing unopened wine store the bottle on its side, ideally at an angle, so the cork stays in constant contact with the wine.

Just like people, bottles of wines come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Generally, the shape of a wine bottle is connected to the sorts of grapes being used in the wine and the place where those grapes originally came from.

Choosing the right wine glass matters! Here’s how to choose the right glassware so you can enjoy your wine to the fullest:

🍷 Consider the shape: The shape of the glass can greatly impact the aroma and taste of the wine. Generally, wine glasses should have a wide bowl and a narrow opening to concentrate the aromas and direct them towards your nose. The bowl should also be tapered to allow the wine to aerate and release its flavors.

🍷 Choose the right size: The size of the glass should be proportional to the amount of wine you will be drinking. A standard pour is about 5 ounces, so the glass should be large enough to accommodate this amount with some room for swirling.

🍷 Use different glasses for different wines: Different types of wines may benefit from different glass shapes. For example, a larger bowl with a wider opening may be better for full-bodied red wines, while a smaller glass with a narrower opening may be better for white wines.

🍷 Consider the material: Wine glasses are typically made of glass or crystal. Crystal glasses are thinner and more delicate, which can enhance the drinking experience, but they are also more expensive and fragile.

🍷 Invest in quality glasses: Investing in quality wine glasses can greatly enhance the enjoyment of your wine. Look for glasses with a fine rim, a sturdy stem, and a balanced weight. They may cost more upfront, but they will last longer and provide a better drinking experience in the long run.

Varietals Spotlight: Pinot Noir 🍇

This classic red is the perfect pour during the transition from winter to spring. Pinot Noir is more delicate, acidic and lower-tannin than most other red wines.

On warmer days you can enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir slightly chilled.

Taste Profile: Dry with bright acidity and a low concentration of tannins
Best Regions: Burgundy, California, Germany
Length in Cellar: 10-15 Years
Common Flavors: Red fruits, spice, earth, florals
Popular Pairings: Pasta, roasted chicken, salmon, aged cheeses
