Here are ways to choose and pour wine like a pro:

  • Yellow gold shades in white wine can indicate an oaky flavor.
  • Orange or brick tones in red wine can indicate maturity.
  • A dry brittle cork indicates poor storage.
  • A wide bottom carafe will help your wine breathe.
  • Store wine on its side with the label side up.
  • Don’t store wine in the kitchen where it will be affected by heat.
  • White wine needs to breathe and should stand at room temperature for around 30 minutes before pouring.
  • Only dessert wine and champagne should be served extra cold.
  • The best time for wine tasting is in the morning when the palate is fresh
