Chilling a bottle requires a careful approach and a gentle touch to avoid damaging the wine with a sudden temperature shock. The most effective and gentle method is still the traditional ice bucket filled with water and ice cubes. The water helps distribute the cold evenly across the entire surface of the bottle in just 15 to 20 minutes. The refrigerator is also a very good option if you plan ahead a few hours before tasting. However, the freezer is strongly discouraged, as is adding ice cubes directly to the glass. These practices alter the wine\u2019s structure and irreversibly dilute its aromas. Best Practices for a Successful Tasting Anticipating the wine\u2019s natural warming in the glass is key to a controlled tasting, especially on hot summer days. A wine quickly warms by 2 to 3 \u00b0C once poured. It is therefore often wise to serve it one or two degrees below its ideal temperature. Serve small amounts at a time to prevent the wine from warming up too quickly, and keep the bottle in a wine cooler or insulated sleeve throughout the meal. These simple steps ensure an optimal tasting experience from the first glass to the last.","_seopress_titles_desc":"Why is serving temperature so important? Wine is a living substance that is extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Serving wine at the right temperature is not merely a matter of etiquette; it directly affects the expression of its aromas, structure, and balance. A wine served too warm allows the alcohol to dominate at the expense of the aromas; similarly, the aromas of a wine served too cold are not perceptible because its tannins become harsh and astringent. Tasting a wine at the right temperature reveals its qualities and pays tribute to the winemaker\u2019s craft.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"_angie_page":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[662],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-752590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-marche-aux-vins"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=752590"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":752591,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752590\/revisions\/752591"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcheauxvins.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
