Do what you feel like but if you are the one who loves enhancing the experience, here's a list of 'must-knows' about Wine Drinking:
1. Pairing wine with food: Light food (like pasta, salad and fish) with White wine and meat dishes with red wine.
2. With every 100 ml of wine, you consume 80 calories
3. It is a myth that the older the wine the better it is. The old wines, only if stored at proper temperatures, are good. The next time you go for an old wine, be sure of the temperature it was stored at.
4. White Wine is ideally served at 10 degree Celsius and red wine at 18 degree Celsius.
5. The wines are served in stem glasses and you should hold the glass from the stem so that your hand doesn't transfer the heat on to the wine.
6. White wine is served in Tulip shaped stem glasses. Their shape helps retain the chill of the wine.
7. Wider bodied glasses are better for red wine as they help increase the rate of oxidation. Go for a big bowl when buying glasses for red wine.
8. Don't Drink and Drive. Have an excellent wine drinking experience.
