Chapter 64 – Steps to Drinking Red Wine
“This is the mayor of Feng’an, Gao Weidong. He haretty good personality and the person beside him is his wife. She is from the second family of Feng’an, the Yuan family. Her name is Yuan Ming.” When he returned to his seat, Liu Ruoxin introduced him to Yan Tian in a low voice.
Not long after, the royal ball officially started. This so-called royal ball was actually an event organized by the Xue Clan, in other words, the famous people of all walks of life in Feng’an were gathered together, bragging and chatting, just likeunion.
Of course, there were also all kinds of delicacies and different red wine. Wasn’t this Yan Tian’s favorite? But just as Yan Tian was about to feast, he suddenly feleart-wrenching pain from his waist, upon seeing it, he knew that Liu Ruoxin was pinching him.
“Let me tell you, you better restrain yourself a little, or else you’ll be even better looking than me.” Liu Ruoxin stared at Yan Tian and warned him.
Hearing Liu Ruoxin’s words, Yan Tian did not eat much, this bit of self-control was something that Yan Tian had, he even picked up a glass of red wine and slowly savored it.
Yan Tian was extremely familiar with red wine. He could casually take a glass of red wine and tell the brand and year of this wine.
First, he took the wine. Then, he poured the wine, looked at the wine, swirled the wine, smelled the wine, and then tasted the wine.
“Your act is pretty good.” Although Yan Tian’s movements were graceful, it was still an act in Liu Ruoxin’s eyes.
“What do you mean my act is pretty good?” I’m an expert at red wine, I tell you. ” Yan Tian was immediately displeased. Drinking a glass of red wine was actually said by Liu Ruoxin to be faking it, she could not tolerate it, she absolutely could not tolerate it.
“Oh? Tell me, how did you become an expert? “How skilled are you?” Liu Ruoxin looked at Yan Tian curiously.
“Ahem, from the looks of it, you know that you don’t understand how to drink red wine. Hubby will give you a chance to spread the knowledge.” Yan Tian coughed lightly and said complacently.
When Liu Ruoxin saw how pretentious she was acting, she could not help but roll her eyes, “Tell me, I’m listening.”
Yan Tian chuckled as he picked up the bottle of red wine and asked, “Darling Ruoxi, you are also a frequent participant, you should have come in contact with red wine before, how many times do you know about red wine?”
“Steps? I think it’s six. ” After thinking about it for a while, Liu Ruoxin said uncertainly.
“Wrong, the correct step is eight, you idiot.” Yan Tian proudly patted Liu Ruoxin’s head.
“Stop, stop patting my head, isn’t that just missing two? What are the correct steps? ”
Yan Tian shook the red wine in his hand and said: “First, it’s warm wine. The best temperature to drink red wine is between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius. If it’s summer and you want to drink red wine, you need to freeze for a while and take it out an hour before drinking. If it’s winter and it’s too cold, it’s not suitable for drinking red wine.
“The second step is to wake the wine up. After the red wine is activated, place it quietly for 30 minutes. First, let it come into contact with the air so as to increase the aroma of the wine and remove the odors. The second is to let the sawdust from the inverted wine sink to the bottom. ”
“Then the third step is to hold the wine. Of the ten people holding the wine, seven of them would make a mistake, their fingers pinching the legs under the wine cup, not touching the bottom of the wine cup to prevent the temperature from affecting the wine’s temperature. But if the winter wine’s temperature is low, you can use your hand to hold the wine belly to increase the wine’s temperature.”
The fourth step is to pour the wine. The correct way to pour the wine is to let the wine label face up, one hand holding the wine, the other controlling the bottom of the wine bottle. In order to support the wine bottle, one must placowel on the hand, in order to prevent the temperature of the wine from affecting the temperature of the wine.
“The fifth step is to watch the wine.” Speaking of which, Yan Tian kept on looking at the red wine in his hand.
Just as Liu Ruoxin was enjoying her speech, she realized that Yan Tian was not speaking anymore, and immediately pushed Yan Tian away: “Continue on, listen carefully.”
“Hehe, so my wife and darling likes listening. The fifth step is to watch the wine, and the color of the red wine will gradually become fainter with time. When I was young, it was purple red, and then it slowly turned dark red. “Place the glass in front of the white background and tilt it slightly outwards, about 45 degrees, to clearly observe the color of the wine.”
“The sixth step is to shake the wine. Before drinking the red wine, you have to shake the wine glass to let the oxygen into the wine to make the wine smell and to release the ester, ether, and other chemicals within the wine.”
Yan Tian placed the red wine cup in his hand next to his nose and sniffed it, then said intoxicatedly: “The seventh step is to smell the wine.”
He then swirled the red wine cup next to his nose and sniffed it, “Smelling wine usually requires two times. After shaking the wine, you can cover the mouth of the cup with your nose and take a deep breath. The taste of good wine is very thick.
The last step is to taste the wine. You only need to taste a little bit of the wine and let it fill your mouth, slowly stirring the wine with your tongue so that it will touch the tip of your tongue, the sides of your tongue, and the base of your tongue. Then you can slowly taste the structure and fragrance of the wine.
After saying that, Yan Tian drank a small mouthful of the red wine in his hand, then closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste.
After a long while, Yan Tian finally opened his eyes and said: “This wine’s taste is wild, sweet and direct. The wine is very attractive, tasty and not heavy at all. The tannins that are implied in it providather firm skeleton for the wine. The style is magnificent and the current flavor is easy to drink. It is breathtaking. ”
Then, he raised the wine cup and looked at it under the light. Yan Tian then smiled and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be Ou Song Red Wine. Half of the wine used was medium quality pearl and the other half was Melo.
After hearing what Yan Tian had to say, Liu Ruoxin looked at him in disbelief. Why did it feel like Yan Tian understood everything,?
Not bad, you know quite a lot. Liu Ruoxin praised Yan Tian a few times in admiration.
“Worthy of praise? Shouldn’t that old woman reward him with something? ”
“Hmm? Reward? What do you want? ” Liu Ruoxin curiously turned and looked at Yan Tian.
Yan Tian thought for a while, then said while beaming: “Hehe, I don’t want money or anything like that, let my wife give me a kiss.”
Hearing Yan Tian’s words, Liu Ruoxin stared coldly at Yan Tian, one second Yan Tian had the appearance of a gentleman, the next second she had the appearance of a scoundrel, it was truly fast.
“Sure, but not now.” After thinking for a while, Liu Ruoxin pouted and said.
Upon hearing Liu Ruoxin say yes, the excited Yan Tian immediately turned around and looked at Liu Ruoxin: “Then when will my wife be okay?”
“About this, go to sleep. If you’re lucky, I’ll give you a kiss. If you’re unlucky, then that’s bad.” At this time, Liu Ruoxin actually put out a very innocent expression as she looked at Yan Tian and pouted.
“Err …” After hearing what Liu Ruoxin had said, Yan Tian was speechless. After all, he was just dreaming, and it had caused Yan Tian to be happy for nothing.
Seeing Yan Tian’s mischievous expression, Liu Ruoxin secretly laughed, but no matter how much he laughed, Yan Tian still noticed it. Yan Tian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, how about I teach Liu Ruoxin a lesson?
After thinking about it, Yan Tian reached his hand out from behind Liu Ruoxin’s back and gently hugged Liu Ruoxin.
“Hey, what are you doing? Move your hand away.” Liu Ruoxin naturally felt Yan Tian’s perverted hands and immediately twisted his body.
“You can let me hug you if you don’t let me kiss you, right? You’re my wife now, that’s not too much.” Yan Tian naturally would not let go. Since Liu Ruoxin actually dared to play with him, then she would naturally need to collect a little loss.
“Let go, who’s your wife?”
Seeing that Liu Ruoxin’s body was twisting non-stop, Yan Tian immediately pulled Liu Ruoxin into her embrace: “Hehe, my wife, don’t move about too much. If others saw that the effect was not good, they would think that we were in an awkward situation.”
