- Champagne:
Champagne is that one wine which can make you experience all the senses- color, sound, smell, flavor and also texture.
When you open a bottle of champagne, you have to ensure that the cork is opened softly with ease leaving out a hissing sound. This forms the prelude of the chorus and our ears gradually adopt this sound. You can even figure out the fineness of the bubbles by its sound.
When it comes to the sight, champagne looks crystal clear, golden and magnificent in its glass. It seems truly enchanting to the eyes.
The aroma of the champagne depends on a number of factors like notes and scents- whether the notes are spicy, wooden, or floral; and the scents are light, floral, or strong. You can also understand the variety and the ripeness of the grape by understanding the aroma.
When you sip wine, you should be able to identify its taste, and its various aspects such as sharpness, richness, intensity, and impertinence. A champagne tastes its best when it’s chilled. So, whenever you taste wine, make sure that you drop an ice cube or two in the glass.
- Sangria:
Sangria is a wine that truly helps to freshen up your mood and refresh your senses. This drink is most desired during summers and is a blend of various varieties of wine. Originating in Spain, it has a tangy taste and helps to soothe you down.
Though the original sangria is blood red in color and looks really appealing when it is poured into a glass, there are a few varieties which are white in color as well. When it comes to the texture, it is really light which makes it a great drink for women as well as kids.
