FAQs
How do I open a bottle of wine?
To open a bottle of wine, simply pierce the cork with the screw of a bottle opener, twist its body and push both arms down to draw the cork open.
Consider a wine bottle with a twistable screw cap lid for those with dexterity issues, or opt for an electronic wine bottle opener. To add pageantry to a special occasion, glide a Champagne sabre along the neck of a magnum of Champagne in a swift movement and allow it to pop open to great fanfare.
Should I let wine breathe?
Red wines typically benefit most from allowing them to breathe for 20 minutes without overexposing them to air and risking changing their flavour profile. White wines, particularly ones with effervescence like Champagne, respond poorly to air and lose their bubbles.
How do I serve wine with food?
You should primarily buy wine online to suit your preferences — however, seamless food and wine pairings will help draw out more evocative flavours. To play the part of sommelier in your home, follow our tips below:
- Pair heavy dishes with bold wines and lighter foods with delicate wines
- Salty dishes are best balanced by wines with a crisp finish, light sweetness, and low tannins
- Sweeter wines complement spicy meals
How do I select the right glass to serve wine?
A wide-bellied Bordeaux or Burgundy glass will allow bold red wines to develop a more complex flavour. Opt for a narrow flute to preserve Champagne’s bubbles, or select a convex white wine glass to allow it to ruminate its aroma.
What is the correct temperature to serve wine?
- Crisp and sweet white wines — 6℃ to 8℃
- Rosé, Rieslings and unwooded chardonnay — 8℃ to 10℃
- Chardonnay — 10℃ to 12℃
- Light-bodied red wines — 12℃ to 15℃
- Full-bodied red wines — 15℃ to 18℃
How do I store wine?
- Store wines on their side to prevent the cork from drying and exposing your wine to air.
- Cellar your wines in Australia in a dark environment with a cool temperature — 12℃ is best for most wines.
- Consider purchasing a wine fridge to control the climate and humidity
- Storing your wine with overly low humidity can dry out your cork, and high humidity levels can cause the label to peel and disintegrate.
Store opened bottles of wine properly by recorking, using a vacuum seal or a rubber stopper to help preserve your wine’s piquancy over three to five days.
