When you are tasting wine, go with your tastes. For example, if a friend raves about a wine that they love and you know you are not a fan of that particular type, do not run out and purchase any. You might end up giving it away and wasting your money.

When you order wine in a restaurant, be adventurous. To impress your dinner guests, pick a wine they don't know. They will find a new, unexpected flavor and won't be surprised by the high price tag.

In order to reuse a bottle, or for easier recycling, be sure you know how to remover the label from an empty bottle. The easiest way is to put your bottle inside the oven. Just as it starts to get hot, use your oven mitt to carefully remove the label.

Try the Internet out for size and join a wine-tasting forum. You can learn a lot from the many different people that join these forums and have experiences to share and opinions to give. A member of the forum could even give you advice that leads you to discover your new favorite wine.

To make the most of each glass of wine, make sure you serve it up at its optimum temperature. Red wine is best and more flavorful at about 60 degrees. Begin serving your wine when the temperature registers at 58 degrees since it will warm a bit in the glass. White wines should be served at a colder temperature of about 47 degrees or so. Warm whites taste dull.

Many kinds of wine go great with desserts. A wine that accompanies dessert dishes is usually a sweeter variety of wine than the wines for the main course. Port wines are great for drinking along with your desserts and chocolates. For best flavor, chill them at fifty-five degrees.

When ordering at a restaurant you don't have to always stick with what you know. If it is your desire to make a good impression on your dinner companions, you should select a wine that they are not familiar with. They will be pleasantly surprised if you choose a good one you like.

Do not let the opinions of others color your wine palate. If you enjoy it, it is good. That is your rule of thumb. You have your own palate and you should strive only to please it. If your friends don't like the wine you like, then there will be more for you!

When tasting a new wine, tilt your glass so you can appreciate the full spectrum of colors. Swirl the glass lightly and put your nose near the aperture to breathe in the wonderful scent. At that point, sip a bit of the wine, swish it around your pallet tasting it fully, and then spit the wine back into your glass.

Do not hesitate to use wine for drinking or to drink alone if you need to relax. You could, for instance, have a nice steak dinner cooked with some red wine. White wine goes great with seafood. Just a little wine added during cooking brings out the flavors.
