Why does wine taste better as it ages!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
My father Says that it does on account that his family has been making grape wine for years!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
This is a matter of opinion!. Sure really old wine can bring out aromas and flavors from the grapes!. But, it can also go very bad!. Something vinegary tasting with foul odors!. But there is the snob appeal of uncorking a vintage (really old rare stuff) bottle and telling everyone who will listen how much you paid and how great this wine was supposed to be!. Boonesfarm ( really cheap wine with a screw on cap no less) can taste just fine to the fellow who is trying to get his courage / stupidity level up to jump off a bridge to impress a girl who doesn't care about the jump but cares about the boy!. So it is a social thing!. Good ( expensive) wine shows you care and people hopefully respond!. Oh ,there are plenty of wine tasting sites who will be happy to help you spent a fortune on their sponsors wine!. But, thats why wine tastes better when it ages!. Costs more!. Supply and demand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As I think that better than speeches you're expecting a reply, this is my grain of salt :
Many wines MUST age - because if you drink them right in the year of their productions, you'll not enjoy - because of two
factors that I know :
%ge of alkohol - 14°/14°!.5 is now very usual but definitely too much, except if you drink for boozing -
the second is the tannin which comes straight from the stones and gives the wine bitterness and sharpness - too much tannin "scratches" your tongue and it's
at least saying, surprising !.!.!.
Mainly concerning Bordeaux and Californians ( Mappa) this is very usual - give your new purchases at least 3/4 years or buy at least 2004 vintages ( more expensive most of the times ) -
Time makes your wine "round" - less alkohol - back to 12°5/13° - and gives the tannin an evolution towards "old tannin" turning very often to "old leather" or
" coffee bean" aromas - which aromas are really exciting -Www@FoodAQ@Com
