PLEASURE

Enjoyment rules for wine connoisseurs

Some bad habits when managing wine make real experts whine! To ensure you enjoy wine in style during your holiday in Eppan, here are a few tips:

Keep your hands off the barrels: during guided tours in the wine cellar, don’t knock or sit on them.
Dry means dry: in South Tyrol, wines are generally without residual sugar. If you specifically order a “dry” wine, it gives the appearance that you do not know much about it.
Spritzer? Better not: whether with mineral water or lemonade – diluting wine is a small sin in this area.
Less is more: even if some people ask for a fuller glass – wine culture means not pouring more than one-eighth of a litre into the glass. This allows bouquet and temperature to reveal themselves properly.
Sparkling wine remains still – at least in the glass: swirling it lets the bubbles escape. So please sip, don’t swirl.
Stem, not bowl: hold the glass by the stem – for ideal temperature and a clear view without fingerprints.
The right temperature: white wines prefer it cool (8–12 °C), red wines slightly warmer (14-18 °C). Too cold and the white loses flavour; too warm and the red tastes overly alcoholic.
Ice cubes? A fauxpas: wine should be cooled from the outside. Placing the bottle in ice water works wonders – without spoiling the taste.
Form follows aroma: a good wine glass has a rounded bowl and narrows towards the top. This allows the aromas to unfold and rise gently to the nose.
Don’t cover aromas: before tasting wine, it is better to avoid peppermint, chewing gum or strong coffee – they overpower the delicate taste.
And most importantly: switch off, lean back and enjoy. Wine is not a competition, but a moment. Cheers!
