So you must try to get it to the ideal temperature by taking the bottle out of the fridge or wine cellar at the right time.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDrunk too warm, a red wine may seem heavy, alcoholic, difficult to drink. Conversely, if it\u2019s too cold, it might seem closed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">explains M\u00e9ven Otheguy, expert in sensory analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Note:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ideal drinking temperature for red wine is between 12 and 16\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For white wine it is 8-9\u00b0C and up to 12-13\u00b0C maximum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideally, white and ros\u00e9 wines should be taken out of the fridge around half an hour before opening the bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/&#xA9;Vins-du-Beaujolais-F.FERRER-DSC_9471-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11194\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tasting red wines in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/taste\/bistrots-beaujolais\/\">Bistrot Beaujolais<\/a>\u00a0\u00a9 Beaujolais Wines, Fabrice Ferrer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Uncork the bottle beforehand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After having spent months or even years in a container with no oxygen, wine needs to be in contact with air to open up. Depending on how old the bottle is, it can be opened beforehand so the wine can breathe. The wineglass itself will also allow this. It\u2019s important to note that the wider a glass, the more the wine will be able to breathe.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of amount, we generally pour between 2 and 4 centilitres into a glass. \u201cThis allows us to take two or three sips to properly appreciate the wine,\u201d according to our wine tasting expert.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Taste the wines in the correct order<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are tasting several wines, make sure to start with the lightest wine and move towards the densest (the alcohol content stated on the label can be a good indicator). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are there several different colours in your selection? Start with the ros\u00e9s, then move to the whites and finish with the reds. So as not to saturate your palate or ingest too much alcohol, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinetsociete.fr\/article-filere\/recracher-vin\/\">spit<\/a>\u00a0between each sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have a spittoon, it is perfectly fine for each participant to use a cup! It is important that everyone pays attention to how they feel and allow themselves breaks between tastings. When it comes to eating or drinking between glasses of wine, M\u00e9ven Otheguy says, \u201cthere are no rules. Everyone should be given the option to do so, by providing a jug of water, unsalted crackers or some bread.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"984\" height=\"1476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/DSC_9524_BD.jpg\" alt=\" ros&#xE9;, white then red\" class=\"wp-image-5701\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When taste testing wine, the order is important: ros\u00e9, white then red \u00a9 Beaujolais Wines, Fabrice Ferrer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To learn more about wine tastings as performed by professionals:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/en\/blog\/\"><strong>Taste test wines like a professionas<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/2023-06-17-18-bienvenue-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1025-416x277.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smelling wine, bring the glass up to your nose to discern its profile \u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bienvenue-en-beaujonomie.fr\/\">Bienvenue en Beaujonomie<\/a>, Jonas Jacquel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three tips for a better tasting experience<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose the right time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, your wine tasting experience will be better at some times of the day than others. According to our sensory expert, \u201cit\u2019s better to do it when you\u2019re hungry, because your senses are on high alert\u201d. The ideal time to open a bottle or visit a winemaker\u2019s cellar is in the late morning, between 10am and 12pm. One, because you won\u2019t be feeling the tiredness that usually comes at the end of the day and two, it will have been a few hours since you brushed your teeth or drank coffee, so it won\u2019t interfere with your tasting experience. However, if you do want to do a wine tasting in the evening, it\u2019s best to do it before you have eaten.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1229x1536.png 1229w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-1638x2048.png 1638w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel-416x520.png 416w, https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/vins-degustation-beaujolais-jonas-jacquel.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tasting wine as a personal and collective journey \u00a9 Beaujolais Wines, Jonas Jacquel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaujolais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/InterBeaujolais_Focaccia_2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Focaccia and C&#xF4;te de Brouilly\" class=\"wp-image-10181\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A wine tasting can also be a relaxed and gourmet experience \u00a9 Beaujolais Wines, Emma Vernay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set the mood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While they may not often be taken into account, context and emotions greatly influence tasting experiences. The light, the music, the people you\u2019re with, the mood you\u2019re in\u2026 all this can affect the way you perceive wine. Has a wine you adored on holiday ever disappointed you once you\u2019ve uncorked it at home? Context really is crucial! If you are organising a wine tasting at home, take care of the setting as much as possible (the lighting, the sounds\u2026). <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Above all, trust your tastebuds!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to M\u00e9ven Otheguy, whether you are a wine enthusiast or not, the first thing you should think about is the taste: \u201cdo I like it? If I do, is it the acidity, the freshness or the aromas I like?\u201d Other insights come later and depend on what you want to get out [cd1.1]of this tasting experience, whether it\u2019s to have a good time, further your knowledge of wine or to compare two cuv\u00e9es for example. Wine tastings don\u2019t follow a strict and immutable set of rules, don\u2019t hesitate to find your own way of tasting wines.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
