THE KEY TO CHOOSING,

STORING, AND SERVING WINE

Here at Campbell Station Wine and Spirits, your friendly liquor store inFarragut, we are committed to helping you get the best wineexperience by choosing and storing, and serving them the right way. As they always say, you can never go wrong with great wine -- but how do you really keep your wine at its best? Is there a proper way of storing and serving your bottle of wine?

How do you like your wine? Do you like it fresh, or do you like it aged? Screw capped wines are intended to preserve your favorite wine's freshness. Corked wines, on the other hand, use natural cork to allow the wine to slowly evolve through the years. As an old adage goes, old wines are tasty. Natural corks make room for the wine to "breathe", thus, allowing it to age.

Perhaps you'd find yourself asking at times, "should I buy the expensive bottle or should I just go for a cheaper one?" There is a saying that goes, "you get what you pay for". The same rule applies when it comes to choosing wines. Although it is not safe to assume that all expensive wines are the best, there is still truth that the more expensive the wine, the more money you are paying for the liquor in the bottle. So it better be good!

How should you store your wine for the long-term? The key to proper storage is on how you can maintain optimal storage conditions. A cool, humid dark and odorless storage is needed to keep your wine at its best state. To consume or not to consume right away? Well, this is a common question that most wine lovers often ask themselves after buying their favorite Cabernet or Sauvignon Blanc.

This generally depends on how old your wine is. You can get the most of older wines by serving it right away upon opening. If this is not the case, key, on the other hand, to getting the best flavor from your wine is to decant it more or less than an hour before serving. Naturally, the flavor becomes more prominent if you allow a little air to get into it. When it comes to the ideal temperature of serving wine, the basic rule requires that reds shouldn't be served too warm, while whites shouldn't be served too cold.
