    According to experts, which one goes well with chicken & fish

    • Any red wine

    • Sparkling wine

    • White wine

    • Champagne

    Correct Answer
    A. White wine
    Explanation
    White wine is considered to be the best pairing with chicken and fish because it complements the flavors of these lighter meats. The acidity and fruitiness of white wine helps to enhance the taste of the dish without overpowering it. Red wine, on the other hand, tends to have stronger flavors and can clash with the delicate flavors of chicken and fish. Sparkling wine and champagne can also be good options as their bubbles and acidity can cleanse the palate and refresh the taste buds, but white wine is generally the most recommended choice.

    While having wine, you swirl your glass because

    • That is the way you drink wine

    • Releases aroma from the wine

    • Mixes its contents well to give a good taste

    • Reduces alcohol content

    Correct Answer
    A. Releases aroma from the wine
    Explanation
    Swirling the wine glass releases the aroma from the wine. When the wine is swirled, it comes into contact with the air, allowing the volatile compounds in the wine to evaporate and be detected by our sense of smell. This enhances the overall sensory experience of drinking wine as the aroma contributes to the flavor perception.

    If wine has sediment, then

    • The wine is of poor quality

    • Its probably an aged wine

    • The flavour of sedimented wine is richer

    • The wine is harmful

    Correct Answer
    A. Its probably an aged wine
    Explanation
    The presence of sediment in wine is typically a sign that the wine has aged. As wine ages, certain compounds and particles can settle and form sediment at the bottom of the bottle. This sediment is often harmless and can indicate that the wine has undergone a natural maturation process. While it may not necessarily imply poor quality, some wine enthusiasts believe that aged wines can have a richer flavor profile due to the complexity that develops over time.

    Sparkling wines are judged by

    • The smaller and lasting bubbles the better it is

    • The larger and lasting bubbles the better it is

    • The smaller and temporary bubbles the better it is

    • The larger and lasting temporary the better it is

    Correct Answer
    A. The smaller and lasting bubbles the better it is
    Explanation
    Sparkling wines are judged by the smaller and lasting bubbles the better it is because smaller bubbles indicate a higher quality of wine. Smaller bubbles are a result of a slower fermentation process, which allows for more flavor development and a smoother texture. Additionally, lasting bubbles indicate that the wine has been properly aged and stored, further enhancing its quality. Therefore, wines with smaller and lasting bubbles are considered superior in terms of taste and overall quality.

    Red wine is always served

    • Chilled

    • A bit cool

    • Warm

    • A bit warm

    Correct Answer
    A. A bit cool
    Explanation
    Red wine is typically served at a slightly cool temperature. This is because serving it too cold can inhibit the flavors and aromas from being fully appreciated, while serving it too warm can make the alcohol taste more pronounced and overpowering. By serving red wine at a bit cool temperature, it allows the wine to showcase its flavors and aromas while still maintaining a refreshing and enjoyable drinking experience.

    Explanation
    Sangria is a popular alcoholic beverage that can be made with either red or white wine. It is typically mixed with various fruits to give it a refreshing and fruity flavor. The mixture of different fruits adds a unique twist to the wine, making it a popular choice for social gatherings and parties.

    How will you store a bottle of wine

    • Keep it verticle

    • Keep it horizontal

    • Tilt them, so that the cork remains moist

    • Store then upside down

    Correct Answer
    A. Tilt them, so that the cork remains moist
    Explanation
    Storing a bottle of wine tilted ensures that the cork remains moist. This is important because a dry cork can shrink and allow air to enter the bottle, which can spoil the wine. By keeping the cork moist, the seal remains intact, preventing oxidation and preserving the quality of the wine. Storing the bottle vertically or horizontally may cause the cork to dry out over time, leading to potential damage to the wine. Storing the bottle upside down is not recommended as it can lead to leakage and potential contamination.
