== Consumption == {{Redirect|Drink wine|the Adele song|I Drink Wine}} === Tasting === [[File:Tempranillowine.jpg|thumb|Judging [[wine color|color]] is the first step in tasting a wine.]] {{Main|Wine tasting}} {{See also|Wine tasting descriptors}} [[Wine tasting]] is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. Wines contain many chemical compounds similar or identical to those in fruits, vegetables, and [[spice]]s. The [[sweetness of wine]] is determined by the amount of residual sugar in the wine after fermentation, relative to the acidity present in the wine. [[Dry wine]], for example, has only a small amount of residual sugar.{{cn|date=May 2025}} [[Decanter|Decanting]] involves pouring the wine into an intermediate container before serving it in a glass, which allows the removal of undesirable sediments that may have formed in the wine. Sediment is more common in older bottles, but aeration in a decanter may benefit younger wines as well.<ref>{{cite book |last=Johnson |first=Hugh |author2=Jancis Robinson |title=The World Atlas of Wine |date=13 September 2001 |publisher=Mitchell Beazley |isbn=978-1-84000-332-1 |pages=46-47}}</ref> During aeration, a younger wine's exposure to air often "relaxes" the drink, making it smoother and better integrated in aroma, texture, and flavor. Older wines generally lose their character and flavor intensity with extended aeration.<ref>{{cite news | title =Fruity character and breathing times | date =18 September 2005 | url =http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:KLSC&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=10CBABDF8E627AD8&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated4&req_dat=0D0CB57AB53DF815 | work =[[The New Straits Times]] | access-date =24 October 2007 | archive-date =10 November 2013 | archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20131110080330/http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004 | url-status =live}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=May 2025}} When tasting wine, individual flavors may also be detected, due to the complex mix of organic molecules (e.g. [[ester]]s and [[terpene]]s) that grape juice and wine can contain. Experienced tasters can distinguish between flavors characteristic of a specific grape and flavors that result from other factors in wine-making. Typical intentional flavor elements in wine—chocolate, vanilla, or coffee—are those imparted by aging in oak casks rather than the grape itself.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.frenchscout.com/types-of-wine |title=Types of wine |access-date=26 June 2008 |last=Breton |first=Félicien |publisher=French Scout |archive-date=25 April 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060425213221/http://www.frenchscout.com/types-of-wine |url-status=live}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=May 2025}} [[Horizontal tasting|Vertical and horizontal tasting]] involves a range of vintages within the same grape and vineyard, or the latter in which there is one vintage from multiple vineyards.

White wine should foster a sense of coolness, achieved by serving at "cellar temperature" ({{convert|13|C|F|disp=or}}). Light red wines drunk young should also be brought to the table at this temperature, where they will quickly rise a few degrees. Red wines are generally perceived best when served at room temperature. However, this does not mean the temperature of the dining room—often around {{convert|21|C|F}}—but rather the coolest room in the house and, therefore, always slightly cooler than the dining room itself. Pinot noir should be brought to the table for serving at {{convert|16|C|F}} and will reach its full bouquet at {{convert|18|C|F}}. Cabernet Sauvignon, zinfandel, and Rhone varieties should be served at {{convert|18|C|F}} and allowed to warm on the table to {{convert|21|C|F}} for best aroma.<ref>{{cite book |title=The great book of French cuisine |last=Pellaprat |first=Henri-Paul |year=2003 |publisher=Vendome |place=New York |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d-9DBtWQUL0C&q=%22wine+cooler%22+temperature&pg=PT81 |isbn=978-0-86565-231-6}}</ref>{{page needed|date=May 2025}} === Global popularity === <gallery mode="packed" heights="275px"> Wine-consumption-per-person-global-2019.png|Wine consumption per person, 2019 Wine-as-share-alcohol-consumption-global-2016.png|Wine as a share of total alcohol consumption, 2016 </gallery> === Culinary uses === {{Further|Wine and food pairing}} Wine is a popular and important [[drink]] that accompanies and enhances a wide range of cuisines, from the simple and traditional [[stew]]s to the most sophisticated and complex [[haute cuisine]]s. Wine is often served with dinner. Sweet [[dessert wine]]s may be served with the [[dessert]] course. In fine restaurants in Western countries, wine typically accompanies dinner. At a restaurant, patrons are helped to make good food-wine pairings by the restaurant's [[sommelier]] or wine waiter. Individuals dining at home may use wine guides to help make food–wine pairings. Wine is also drunk without the accompaniment of a meal in [[wine bar]]s or with a selection of cheeses (at a wine and cheese party). Wines are also used as a theme for organizing various events such as [[festival]]s around the world; the city of [[Kuopio]] in [[North Savonia]], [[Finland]] is known for its annual Kuopio Wine Festivals (''Kuopion viinijuhlat'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kuopiowinefestival.fi/|title=Kuopion Viinijuhlat » Kuopio Wine Festival|publisher=Kuopio Wine Festival|access-date=2020-07-25|language=fi|archive-date=26 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200726025917/https://kuopiowinefestival.fi/|url-status=live}}</ref> Wine is important in cuisine not just for its value as a drink, but as a flavor agent, primarily in [[stock (food)|stocks]] and [[braising]], since its acidity lends balance to rich [[Basic taste#Savouriness|savoury]] or [[sweet]] dishes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/features/6-secrets-of-cooking-with-wine|title=6 Secrets of Cooking With Wine|website=WebMD|access-date=4 May 2020|archive-date=14 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200614071208/https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/features/6-secrets-of-cooking-with-wine|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Wine sauce]] is an example of a culinary sauce that uses wine as a primary ingredient.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bHp1GJk8IMcC&pg=PA15 | title=Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide, 7th Edition | publisher=Simon and Schuster | author=[[Robert Parker (wine critic)|Parker, Robert M.]] | year=2008 | page=15 | isbn=978-1-4391-3997-4}}</ref> Natural wines may exhibit a broad range of alcohol content, from below 9% to above 16% [[Alcohol by volume|ABV]], with most wines being in the 12.5–14.5% range.<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Jancis Robinson|Robinson, Jancis]] |title=The Oxford Companion to Wine |url=https://archive.org/details/oxfordcompaniont00janc |url-access=registration |edition=3rd |year=2006 |publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-860990-2}} See ''alcoholic strength'' at p. 10.</ref> [[Fortified wine]]s (usually with brandy) may contain 20% alcohol or more. === Health effects === {{main|Health effects of wine}} {{See also|Red wine headache}} {{nutritionalvalue | name = Red table wine | kJ = 355 | fat = 0.0 g | protein = 0.1 g | carbs = 2.6 g | sugars = 0.6 g | alcohol = 10.6 g | source_usda = 1 | noRDA = 1 | note = 10.6 g alcohol is 13%vol.<br />100 g wine is approximately 100 ml (3.4 fl oz.)<br />Sugar and alcohol content can vary. }} ==== Short-term ==== {{Main|Short-term effects of alcohol consumption}} Wine contains [[ethyl alcohol]], the chemical in [[beer]] and [[distilled spirits]]. The effects of wine depend on the amount consumed, the span of time over which consumption occurs, and the amount of alcohol in the wine, among other factors. Drinking enough to reach a [[blood alcohol concentration]] (BAC) of 0.03%-0.12% may cause an overall improvement in mood, increase self-confidence and sociability, decrease anxiety, [[Alcohol flush reaction|flushing of the face]], and impair judgment and fine [[motor coordination]]. A BAC of 0.09% to 0.25% causes [[lethargy]], [[sedation]], balance problems and blurred vision. A BAC from 0.18% to 0.30% causes profound confusion, impaired speech (e.g. slurred speech), staggering, dizziness and vomiting. A BAC from 0.25% to 0.40% causes [[stupor]], unconsciousness, [[anterograde amnesia]], vomiting, and death may occur due to [[respiratory depression]] and [[pulmonary aspiration|inhalation of vomit]] during unconsciousness. A BAC from 0.35% to 0.80% causes [[coma]], life-threatening respiratory depression and possibly fatal [[alcohol poisoning]]. The operation of vehicles or machinery while drunk can increase the risk of accident, and many countries have laws against [[drinking and driving]]. The social context and quality of wine can affect the mood and emotions.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Danner |first1=Lukas |last2=Ristic |first2=Renata |last3=Johnson |first3=Trent E. |last4=Meiselman |first4=Herbert L. |last5=Hoek |first5=Annet C. |date=Nov 2016 |title=Context and wine quality effects on consumers' mood, emotions, liking and willingness to pay for Australian Shiraz wines |journal=Food Research International |volume=89 |issue=Pt 1 |pages=254–265 |doi=10.1016/j.foodres.2016.08.006 |pmid=28460912}}</ref> ==== Long-term ==== {{See also|Long-term effects of alcohol consumption}} [[File:Possible long-term effects of ethanol.svg|thumb|left|Most significant of the possible [[Long-term effects of alcohol consumption|long-term effects]] of [[ethanol]], one of the constituents of wine.
