What’s the point of the French drinking red wine?

Red wine etiquette can be described as very cumbersome, but the fun of red wine is reflected in this series of cumbersomeness. If you want to truly appreciate the inherent quality and profound cultural heritage of red wine, you must drink its best taste, and you cannot taste its wonderful taste without paying attention to red wine etiquette.

The wine culture has penetrated into all aspects of the French people’s religion, politics, culture, art and life, and is closely related to the people’s life. As a political, economic and cultural power in the world, French wine culture also affects the way of life and cultural tastes of people all over the world.

Overview

Choosing exquisite and scientific wine utensils and the correct drinking method is another detail that cannot be ignored in wine culture. Molière once compared a beautiful bottle to his lover: “Beautiful bottle, you are so gentle; / Beautiful murmur, you are so moving. / But my fate is full of jealousy. / Ah! wine bottle , my love, / If you are always so happy, / Why should you empty yourself?”

Choice of wine glasses

In addition to the different shapes and colors of wine bottles, the material and texture of the wine glass will also affect the taste of the wine taster. The ideal wine glass must be smooth and transparent, allowing people to appreciate the color of the wine. The smooth and delicate material provides a pleasant touch to the lips.

Wine choice

“Full, plump, thick and fragrant”, “exudes the fragrance of melted tannins and the delicate fragrance of cocoa trees”, “like pine trees jumping in the forest”, “warm and transparent like fisherman’s tears”, these are full of emotions The language of color expresses how wine lovers feel about wine. In France there are specialized schools and specialized studies in the art of wine tasting. They believe that to drink wine without appreciating its color and aroma is to give up the most basic enjoyment of drinking.

Also, there are steps to drinking: You must stop talking before picking up the glass. Before tasting, lift the wine glass upwards, watch the full, clear and bright color of the wine with your eyes, shake the wine glass gently to let the aroma of the wine spread out; then smell it with your nose, and then start tasting.

Food and wine

The matching of food and wine is also a science. In this process, some people pay attention to harmony and unity, while others emphasize contrast. For those who lack food and wine pairing knowledge, pairing wines from the same region with local food can generally not go wrong.

Of course, personal hobbies are the key, and new attempts often make people enjoy the sense of achievement in innovation. Low alcohol red wines are often used to accompany fish, most cheeses and wines have to be balanced, and desserts (unless semi-dry) with champagne are considered deadly pairings, but musca from Alsace Wine (Muscat) is considered a perfect match with asparagus!

Grape picking culture

Talking about wine culture, it is impossible not to mention the culture of picking grapes. Harvesting grapes is one of the most important events in French agriculture. Picking grapes in the hot sun is hard work, but full of joy. There are happy people everywhere, and happy singing can be heard everywhere.

In the famous Beaucaré juicing song, the lyrics can be heard: “The wine is rolling, filling the jug…” Every year when new wine is released, French restaurants are busy for a while. Large and small restaurants across the country have begun to sell new wines of various brands, while relatives, friends, colleagues, and lovers will go to restaurants to gather and taste new wines. There is a festive atmosphere of harvest in the air.
