Wine Etiquette


Follow some basic rituals before serving wine. Here are some rules.

How should I hold the glass?
Traditionally, always from the base or the stem so that the warmth of your hand doesn't affect the temperature of the wine. This norm however has been broken by Riedel, who have recently come out with stemless glasses which look similar to whiskey tumblers.

What does a good vintage mean?
A vintage where wine is concerned means production in one particular year and usually bottled in a single batch so that each bottle has a similar taste. Climate affects wine-producing areas enormously, to the extent that occasionally wines are not made in certain areas if the producer feels that the vintage won't be good. Wine from a good vintage can fetch much higher prices than the same wine, from the same area, or even the same producer for that matter.

What should I serve wine in?
Glass for sure. It is odorless, taking nothing away from the aroma of the wine. Glass also being clear, allows us to see the color of the wine. Most wine glasses require a stem and a decent-sized glass so that you can twirl the wine. The twirling movement opens up its bouquet. At the moment, Riedel is considered to have the best glasses in the world.

What type of glasses should I serve different wines in?
Generally, bigger glasses for reds, and tulips (standard wine glasses) for whites. Champagnes can be served in flutes (tall, long, thin wine glasses) so that the bubbles don't escape, or in tulips. Never serve champagne in champagne saucers. This is completely outdated and does nothing for the champagne. Cut glass and cut crystal are not for serious wine drinkers.

How much wine shall I buy for the party?
Depending on how long the meal is and the capacity of your guests, a safe guide is half a bottle for each person, graduating to 2 bottles for 3, 3 for 4, 4 for 5 and so on for more regular imbibers, be it a sit-down dinner or a pot-luck get-together.

When shall I serve the wine?
Starting a dinner (or lunch) with bubbles always ensures a sparkling mood. Then it's white wine before red and lighter before fuller-bodied.

Beauty of Math


1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321


Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:


What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these
questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z


Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:

*
*H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K*

*8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%


And:
*
*K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E*

*11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%


But:
*
*A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E*

*1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

*
*L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D*

*12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge w ill get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did.
