Wine is an ancient beverage that is currently enjoyed and produced in many places around the world, but only a few are those privileged to provide delicious wines. Many people enjoy wine and look for ways to buy it, how to store it, how to drink it, what to pair it with, etc. Here we will give you some practical tips for buying, caring for, and consuming wine. Storage The optimal storage of wines is to keep them lying down or tilted, avoiding direct light and maintaining a low and constant temperature (which is why cellars and basements are ideal places). Also, as much as possible, it should be avoided to move them. Temperature Depending on the type of wine chosen, we need to know at what temperature it should be served. Although there are slight variations according to various books, we have opted for this classification:

Dry whites. Between 7 and 9 degrees
Full-bodied whites. Between 9 and 11 degrees
Light reds. Between 11 and 14 degrees
Rosés. Between 8 and 10 degrees
Full-bodied reds. Between 14 and 16 degrees

Serving Once the menu and the dishes to be served are determined, we will proceed to select the wines and in what order they will be served. It is advisable, if we do not understand wines, to go to a specialized establishment that can advise us on the most suitable ones for the occasion. Nowadays, it is quite common to serve a single wine for the entire meal (generally, a young wine should be chosen). Depending on the dish to be served, we need to know what wine should be served:

Light whites. White fish
Full-bodied whites. Blue fish, seafood, and sauces
Light reds. Red meats
Rosés. White meats
Full-bodied reds. Red meats and game
