Wine Know by VINCENT R. NOVELLO JR.
Wine, Like Life, is always Changing PRH Life
A familiar phrase we hear when opening a bottle of wine is, ‘Give it time to breathe.’ Wine
is a living thing and is constantly changing, as is life. Wine changes in the bottle. Wine changes when it is opened. Wine changes when it is poured. Wine even changes while you are drinking it. Wine evolves based on the environment (temperature,
humidity), but mostly, it is time that has the most effect. In order to enjoy the full complexity of the wine, give it time after opening. You will enjoy a pleasant surprise experiencing the many favorable attributes that surface. So, as we are going through these challenging times, let us be reminded that, like wine, this, too, will change. And we are counting on it to be for the better.
