Enjoying summer wines can be a refreshing and delicious experience! Here are some tips to get the most out of your summer wines:

1. Wine selection

Go for light and fresh wines: Look for white, rosé and sparkling wines. Light reds can also be a good choice.

Try summer varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño, Pinot Grigio, Rosé de Provence, Prosecco, Cava, and Vinho Verde are excellent choices.

2. Serving Temperature

Chill appropriately: Keep white and rosé wines between 7-10°C and sparkling wines even cooler, between 5-7°C. Light reds can be served slightly chilled at around 12-14°C.

Use ice buckets and coolers: During picnics or outdoor gatherings, use ice buckets with ice to keep the wine at the ideal temperature.

3. Presentation and Service

Suitable glass: Use wine glasses suitable for each type of wine. White and rosé wines should be served in glasses that allow their fresh aromas to stand out.

Serve the right amount: Fill the glass a third full to allow the wine to breathe and maintain its temperature.

4. Ambience and Enjoyment

Relaxed atmosphere: Enjoy your summer wines in a relaxed, open-air setting, such as a picnic, a terrace or a barbecue.

5. Hydration

Stay hydrated: Alternate drinking wine with water to stay hydrated, especially on hot days.

6. Creativity with wine

Wine cocktails: Experiment with wine cocktails such as spritzers (wine mixed with sparkling water) or sangria for a refreshing and fruity option.

7. Appreciate the moment

Enjoy slowly: Take the time to appreciate the aromas and flavours of the wine. Relax and enjoy the moment, savouring every sip.

With these tips, you will be able to enjoy summer wines to the fullest, making every occasion a special and refreshing experience. Cheers!
