HOW TO ORDER WINE AT A RESTAURANT LIKE A PRO?

Wine is an alcoholic beverage that augments our senses and intensifies the ambience of many a room. It complements and enhances the taste of food, like red meats, tomato based dishes and pizza, whereas Rose wine complements cheesy dishes.

The other eatables that wine can be paired with are pork, fruits, earthy dishes like vegetables and herbs etc.

It has a titillating effect on humans if consumed in moderation; although each individual reacts differently when something new is introduced in their body.

Wine is rich in antioxidants and possesses anti inflammatory and lipid regulating qualities.

While drinking wine at home is a perfectly safe and cosy option, there comes a time when gatherings with friends and family at a restaurant/bar demand the occasional “popping open the cork” and sipping the delightful bottled up poetry that is wine.

It is often said, “Age and glasses of wine should never be counted” because there is never a bad time to be drinking wine as “It’s wine o’clock somewhere.”

If you’re an amateur, make sure to explain to the waiter exactly what kind of taste you’re looking for before he brings you the wine that’s best suited for you.

However, if you’re the more adventurous type, then trust your sommelier to bring you something unexpected.

Without further ado, let’s get down to some pointers to keep in mind before ordering your next bottle at a restaurant.

1. Do your homework beforehand.

Do some research prior to going to the restaurant and avoid being put on the spot.

Try and get a table when there is no rush hour, so that the staff has ample time to assist you.

It is advisory to call the place up and ask them if they have a liquor license and if they will reserve the particular bottle for when you show up.

Some restaurants also have the option for BYOB (bring your own bottle) where you can save on a lot of time and just end up paying for corkage and snacks.

2. Speak to whoever is available to help you pick out your bottle for wine.

Your goal should be to eliminate the wines that are not in your budget range. Once you’re done with that, you can count on the sommelier and/or waiter to help you pick out a good wine.

1. Budget — Managing our finances is almost as important as knowing how to spend your money and where. While eating out, it is but natural to want to order a bottle of wine. The common questions that come to mind are: What is my budget? How much am I willing to spend on one bottle of wine?

Sula wine is a good option if you’re looking to spend anything between $20 and $ 30 a bottle.

Buying an extremely expensive wine won’t ensure that it tastes better than some mediocre priced wines. Don’t be afraid to live within your means and choose the wine that suits your budget.

2. Type — what type of wine are you in the mood for? Red, white, rosé, dessert?

Red wine is made when dark grapes are fermented with their skins on whereas white wines are made when white grapes are fermented without their skin.

Such differences in the production process are the reason why these wines taste different from each other.

You can either look for a wine that you or someone you know has had before or if you’re feeling adventurous, can ask your sommelier for something completely foreign to you.

If a wine’s name sounds interesting to you, ask your waiter what kind of wine it is and what you can expect out of it.

This way you will have learnt something new and have experienced a new variety of wine.

3. Age of wine — a sommelier knows his wines well and will be able to recommend a fine wine based on how long they’ve been allowed to ferment after being bottled up. Some wines ( like Chardonnay) are perfect to drink after 3–5 years of bottling whereas some wines can be enjoyed even after 20 years of them being bottled.

When you get at a restaurant, it’s usually a good idea to figure out what you’re going to eat first so that the flavors don’t clash. One general guideline of food and wine matching is that what grows together, stays together; in other words, if you’re eating at a French restaurant, a bottle of French wine is hard to go wrong with. An unwritten rule is that the wine you select should complement the taste intensity of the cuisine you’re eating. Lighter foods like shellfish and salads, for example, go well with delicate white and rosé wines, whilst heavier entrees like beef and lamb almost demand full-bodied reds.

While it may take upto 15–20 tries before you become a “pro” at wine tasting, the journey to getting there is sure filled with many a glass of sparkling wine coupled with intelligent conversation and memorable moments that stay etched in your mind for a lifetime.

Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented grapes.

A sommelier, or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, normally working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service as well as wine and food pairing.

There are different aspects to wine tasting. Just because you like a certain variety, brand or type of wine, doesn’t mean it is a rich wine.

Each person’s opinion is subjective and are often biased, based on one's personal preferences and what styles of wines one may be used to drinking. Good quality wine can be found in a range of colours, styles, price-points and flavour profiles. Developing an objective opinion on whether the wine is good quality and if so, how good, can be a rewarding process. It is a skill that requires the taster to try a number of different styles of wines; even the ones that he or she may be unfamiliar with or may not be to one's liking.

Before you order, ensure that you have a clean palate, because strong flavours such as coffee, cigarettes or garlic will mask the taste of the wine. Now, ask the sommelier to pour you a small amount of wine for tasting.

 There are four steps to the perfect wine tasting: look, smell, sip and conclude

1. Look

Begin by visually inspecting the wine. The appearance of a wine is an essential part of its overall euphony and adds to the delight of drinking. A wine's beauty and brilliance of colour is what makes it so appealing. Colour may not reveal much about the quality of wine or its flavour, but it offers an insight into the grape variety and age. Note the brightness and clarity of the wine. A clear and luminous wine with no suspended matter is what you should be looking for

Red wines lighten and white wines deepen in colour as they age. If you see bubbles or sediment floating in the wine, it may mean that some carbon dioxide has be added to make the young wines seem livelier.

Wines with higher alcohol or sugar content have more pronounced legs or tears that slide from the side of the glass.

The pro tip is to look for brilliance of colour and watch out for any suspended particles in the wine.

 2.Smell  

 A wine's aroma and odour reveals clues about its identity, origin and quality, even before you taste it. A fine wine expresses character and clarity through aromas, while an ordinary wine is unimpressive on the nose. It is important to note that not all wines have an aromatic bouquet, and some can be more subtle than others

Based on smell, wine can be divided into primary, secondary and tertiary kinds.

The primary wines have a floral or fruity aroma and hardly smell like grapes at all.

Wines under the secondary category have the aromas of dairy, sweet spices, vanilla or charred wood. These wines get their flavor from the process of winemaking.

The fine wines which end up being bottled up for a while will be categorized under tertiary kinds with aromas of leather, honey, coffee, caramel and dried fruits.

3.Sip

 Take a sip of the wine. How does it feel in your mouth- Smooth, silky, rainy, velvety or rough?

A connoisseur will be able to tell the difference between a full bodied and light bodied wine in no time; light bodied wines having a more intense and elegant taste.

The pro tip would be to feel the aroma, texture and flavour of the wine, as it all connects to a much wider network of cells in the brain. This will enable us to fathom the actual taste of the wine.

 4.Conclude

 Take another sip of the wine, so that you’re able to fully adjudge and deduce the quality and flavour of the wine.

There  are a few things to keep in mind- Are the components of the wine in full harmony with the flavour? Does the wine have a taste that is distinctive to your liking? Does it define you?
