MAXIMISING THE WINE EXPERIENCE AT HOME

If you want to make the most out of a special bottle at home, it’s all about service. Invest in the best glassware – Zalto and Riedel are two top names to look out for – and have several different shapes to best complement different wine styles. Decanters can add dramatic flair, especially the more complicated designs, and most wines will benefit from the aeration.

Playing some videos that give your wine some context can help – 67pallmall.tv is a great free resource for top-quality film – or go the extra mile and hire a sommelier to serve your guests to give the best bottles the full five-star treatment.
