Did you know white wine should be sipped out of a glass with a much narrower mouth than red wine?
Say cheers to National White Wine Day on Thursday, August 4 with a glass of this very versatile wine…if you are not sure which white wine to choose, try one of Four Somme’s Preview Packs and taste test with family and friends.
The world’s first Wine Club for Millennials, Four Somme offers wine buffs the chance to try different varietals with their offer of four 187mL red or white wine packs – choose your favourites in the virtual tasting platform and your customised selection of eight bottles will be sent to you with no delivery fee.
You will receive a new Preview Pack every two months where you can pick your favourites and expand your wine knowledge.
Here are some etiquette tips on how to enjoy your preferred white, along with some fun facts:
•Your white wine glass should be held at the stem to keep the wine cool.
•It is best to pop the bottle into an ice bucket and put salt on the ice to speed up the process.
•Never fill the glass to the rim, fill to 1/3 or a 1/2, to allow room for swirling the wine.
•Most white wines should be served between 8 C-12 C, meaning if you put the bottle in the fridge all day, it will most likely be too cold.
•White wine has fewer calories than red and can produce fewer hangovers as it has less tannins and alcohol volume.
•Storing your corked bottles standing up can cause your wine to age quicker; corks are designed to maintain constant contact with the wine. Otherwise, it will dry out and allow air to seep in.
Sip, sip hooray to National White Wine Day!
