If you find yourself at a summer party with not much to talk about to break the ice, feel free to use one of the 10 wine phrases to help impress. You may not have the time to become a proper wine expert, but you can surely find some time to fake it with these pre-made phrases to get you through the party, looking like a pro!
1 – Excuse me, can you change this bottle please. It smells of cork. Note: This only works if you leave a lavish tip to the waiter and don’t forget to actually smell the wine first before using this expression.
2 – This is quite a decent wine, but I think I still would have preferred a 2013. It is nonetheless an excellent wine.
3 – I love finding red wine combinations with fish dishes! Note: If asked what type of red wine you would dare accompany a fish dish with, be clear that only a low-alcohol red wine which is not heavy in tannins would work.
4 – You all absolutely must try this Reserve wine. There are no words to describe it.
5 – Champagne?! It’s completely overrated. I am more of an Italian Brut Spumante type of person.
6 – I don’t think I have ever heard of this vineyard, but I must say that it isn’t easy to find a really decent Chardonnay nowadays.
7 - Do you feel that pleasurable sensation of freshness on the palate that this white wine creates? See how much it makes one salivate? It is undoubtedly a wine of great acidity!
8 – I adore wild forest fruits and cherry aromas! They are so reminiscent of a Sangiovese. Note: Make sure the wine is indeed a Sangiovese based wine, and that you smell the aromas in your glass for quite a long time and deeply.
9 – Wait, I will taste the wine! Thank you. Note: Swirl your glass with style, smell the aromas deeply and take a small sip.
10 – Any wine between $1 and $99 you can have!
