The type of glass you use to drink wine can make a real difference; large wine glasses can really make a cheap bottle of wine taste like an expensive bottle. It is important to make sure the glass is right before you try and anything else and this is the most important element.

When selecting a glass that you want to enhance flavour look for a glass which is large and round with a very wide rim. This helps add a psychological factor when people taste the wine making them think it is something special and adds the extra wow factor. This design of glass increases the flavour when the wine hits the mouth and also boosts the smell of wine due to wide rim.

The tips I would advice to get the most out of your wine is to make sure you decant it, warm the wine glass you use and eat salty snacks before you drink.

Doing such a simple thing as using decanters can make a serious difference to the taste. It’s important to decant your bottle of wine a least two hours before you want to drink it and make your you leave it at room temperature.

Making sure your wine glasses are warm is often forgot about. Make sure your glasses are at room temperature the same as your wine. If your glassware is cold you can warm it up by running it under a warm tap for a minute.

You may not think it but salty snacks can make a difference to the flavour of your wine. Surprising salty snacks are great to prepare your taste buds for wine, so if you’re not serving wine before the meal salty snacks should be used.

You should try and incorporate these tips whenever you serve wine and they are not high resource ideas so can done easily.
