Hints and Tips

From Sam Jary  Black Hand Wine

1 – Don’t store your wine near bleach.

2 – Store screw cap bottles upright.

3 – If a screw cap is damaged, don’t buy the bottle, the wine may have oxidised.

Andrew Truman Majestic Wines

1 – White wine should not be served too cold, especially if the aim is to analyse the flavours of the wine, but if one is intending simply to enjoy it as a drink, then it is good to serve it well chilled.

2 – Light wines should be served colder than fuller bodied wines.

Rob Bagot Buon Vino

Buy a Magnum!

Rob explained that in a bigger the bottle,  the wine develops better in the bottle, compared to the results from a normal 75 cl bottle.
