In the world of wine, there are myths and stories, which may have a legitimate origin, but over time have become moot. However, still in force in popular imagery.
Some of them are: * The older … better
In general it is not. The current trend holds, is that wine goes on sale when you are ready to enjoy it. For white wines, it is inappropriate to keep them for more than two years, as it is in youth when their fruity aromas and flavors have correctly. However, there are exceptions, as in the case of sweet wines, which can improve its complexity in oak.
In red wines, the stowage improvement, but also for a time, and then begin to decline. The Cabernet variety, is the most suitable for aging, due to the strength of its tannins. * White with fish and roast Tinto …
The historic reason for this saying is based on the tannins of red when combined with iodine fish wine, produce an unpleasant metallic taste. But today winemaking techniques provide red with soft tannins that complement well with fatty fish. And similarly, there are white wines that pair well with red meat. * The more expensive … better
False. Consumers who demand excellence of the product and the reasonableness of their prices, are increasingly aware, the price / quality. So today very good wines are achieved at low cost, and conversely, expensive wines whose quality is not related to its price. * Good wines for those who know …
It is likely that a wine expert, can enjoy better quality one to taste it, that someone who has so much knowledge. But anyway, apply the sensations that we all can experience to pay attention when drinking it and try to distinguish its aromas and flavors. A personal pleasure.
