About wine culture.
Red wine appeared in southern France from 1000 BC to 500 BC, and then began to spread in most parts of the Mediterranean basin. In the early days, red wine has always been regarded as a noble drink that only nobles can enjoy, and it is also a sacrifice to Bacchus.

Red wine also represents the blood of Jesus Christ in the hearts of Christians all over the world, which promotes the popularization of red wine and gives ordinary people the right to drink sweet red wine.

Common sense of wine tasting

Tilt the wine glass 45 degrees in front of a pure white background to distinguish between hue and shadow. The outermost area of wine near the glass wall is called the wine edge. Generally, the stronger the wine, the narrower the wine edge, and the lighter or older the wine, the wider the wine edge. Red wine is especially obvious.

After the wine reaches our hands, in order to increase the contact surface between the wine and the air and give off its fragrance fully, we should shake the glass in our hands and make a circular rotation parallel to the desktop. Whether it should be clockwise or counterclockwise depends on personal preferences and habits. After shaking the glass, the wine will leave a wine mark on the inner wall of the glass, which is thicker, thicker, longer and more lasting.
