]]> The type of glass you use to drink wine can make a real difference; large wine glasses can really make a cheap bottle of wine taste like an expensive bottle. It is important to make sure the glass is right before you try and anything else and this is the most important element.

When choosing a glass try using larger and rounder goblet glass that has a wide rim for the best results. It adds a psychological element by making it seem like an occasion, something special is happening while drinking the wine. This type of glass does have many benefits; it helps the smell of the wine to be released as well as aiding the flavour by the taste bursting in the mouth as soon as the wine is drunk.

The tips I would advice to get the most out of your wine is to make sure you decant it, warm the wine glass you use and eat salty snacks before you drink.

Doing such a simple thing as using decanters can make a serious difference to the taste. You should decant a bottle of wine for few hours before serving and definitely do not refrigerate, the wine should be room temperature.

Having a warm glass is simple thing but often overlooked. Remember to always have your wine glasses at room temperature. If your glassware is cold you can warm it up by running it under a warm tap for a minute.

Something a little different but does make a difference is adding salty snacks. If you’re not serving wine before the meal salty snacks and picks are great before meal snacks and mouth cleanser before the wine.

These tips do make a difference and are definitely worth giving a go and making standard practice when serving wine.
