Experts reveal the secrets behind what it takes to make red wine taste its best.
It is recommended that the drink – made from dark-colored grapes and believed to benefit the heart if drunk in moderation – is allowed to ‘breathe’ after corking and before drinking. The process normally takes 1-2 hours.
But if you don’t have time to wait, wine enthusiast Josh gave a quick demonstration for WineExpress.com on other ways to ensure red wine is at its best by the time you’re ready to consume it.
For a simple and quick trick, you’ll need a milk frothing pipe – an instrument usually taken from the kitchen drawer when making coffee or hot chocolate.
Red wine consists of dark-colored grapes and, according to studies, can make you look younger. There are good ways to drink red wine, including using a milk frother
Josh’s demonstration created a frothy wine drink that eventually settled after being swirled for 10 seconds
Josh confirmed this in the video posted the WineExpress.com blog that a milk frother ‘is really a wonderful breathing space for your red wine.’
He added: ‘Put it in, let it run, the wine will be thoroughly aerated.
‘What you immediately notice is that the nose really opens up… You hear those bubbles when you taste it.’
The wine will also have a frothy appearance that will go down after proper timing.
Josh continued, “I get those nice, smooth, smooth flavors that the aeration gives them.”
Two wine drinkers were absolutely impressed by the demonstration, one even tried the method himself.
One person said: ‘Wow! I tried it and love the results.”
Another said: ‘Very cool tip! Thanks for sending this! Fun to watch! It makes me want to pour a glass and try it right away.’
There was one audience member who wasn’t too happy with the results and made the technique sound like a real heartbreaker.
“He completely tore his heart out…. not a fan!!! But I’m not saying it’s not good for someone else…CONTINUE.’
Red wine can be served at outdoor and formal events, for example. However, it can even be served at casual stay-at-home dinners
Experts say it is important to let red wine ‘breathe’ after uncorking the bottle for 1-2 hours, unless one decides to use a milk frother
Milk frothers are mainly used for various drinks, including hot chocolate and caffeine drinks. They can be found at in-store and online retailers such as Walmart and Amazon
Milk frothers are coming in different shapes, sizes and styles. They are mainly used to convert milk into the thick and silky foam you see in most coffee drinks.
The tool creates ‘tiny microbubbles that give a light and creamy texture to the milk while increasing the overall volume.’
There are four types of milk frothers that people can buy: manual, automatic, manual steam wands, and steam wands.
