What is the correct way to open red wine?

Nowadays, many people have the habit of drinking red wine, especially women. Drinking a moderate amount of red wine every day can effectively protect the human cardiovascular system and prevent the occurrence of some heart diseases. Secondly, red wine also has a bactericidal effect. It is worth mentioning that red wine also has a weight-loss effect. When actually drinking red wine, many people find it difficult to open the wine, so here are some methods to teach you.

First, how to open red wine using a corkscrew

Wine is an imported product, but in China, more and more people love red wine. Red wine is delicious, but opening the cork of red wine is sometimes a headache, so skills are needed when opening wine. If you want to drink your favorite wine, you must first appreciate the art of opening wine corks!

Take the most famous Lafite red wine from Bordeaux, France as an example. All of Lafite's wine stoppers are corks, which are natural products made from oak bark. They have excellent elasticity and resilience, and can be completely sealed after being compressed into the bottle. However, when dry, the elasticity will decrease due to shrinkage, which is why wine must be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist and preserve the wine.

First of all, before opening the wine, you must prepare the tools and raw materials and be well prepared so that you can open the wine cork smoothly.

Step 1: Hold the back of the knife with your hand and cut 180 degrees counterclockwise at the protruding part of the bottle mouth!

Step 2: Then draw 180 degrees in a clockwise direction.

Step 3: At this point, the bottle seal is cut and can be wiped clean with a dry cloth or paper towel!

Step 4: Then aim the corkscrew of the corkscrew at the center of the cork and rotate it vertically downward in a clockwise direction.

Step 5: Control the force and do not drill through the cork. Drill slowly until the screw is almost inside the cork.

Step 6: Then buckle the top of the bracket to lock the bottle mouth, and buckle the bottom to lock the bottle mouth. Then slowly remove the cork, not straight out, to prevent sawdust from falling out.

Step 7: Finally, slowly pull the cork out completely and you're done.

Second, how to open red wine without a corkscrew

1. Find a hook or a thin steel wire. Use pliers to adjust the angle of the hook or wire to the desired position. Insert the hook into the bottle from one side of the cork, rotate the hook and hook the cork to pull it out. Note: It is best to wear a pair of gloves when operating to avoid scratching your fingers with the hook.

2. Find 5 nails and a hammer. Arrange 5 nails in a line and gently hammer them into the cork. Hold the bottleneck tightly with one hand. Use your other hand to pick up the other end of the hammer, lift out the nail, and at the same time move the cork, slowly pulling out the cork. Finally, pull out all the nails from the cork. When the cork is almost completely out, pull out the nail first, then pull out the cork by hand.

Third, how to drink wine

The first thing to say is that if you don’t drink the bottle of red wine when it is displayed, then let it “sleep”, that is: it must be stored at an angle to allow the cork to be in close contact with the wine to prevent the entry of air and microorganisms. When drinking red wine, you should choose a graceful tulip-shaped goblet, and the best time to drink it is when the temperature is between 10-20 degrees Celsius.
