Want to sound like you know your wine — even when you don’t? 🍷 Here are some tips to help you fake it ‘til you taste it (with confidence): 🔸 1. When in doubt, say “Interesting.” – The ultimate non-committal wine word – Buys you time to figure out what the heck you’re tasting 🔸 2. Hold your glass by the stem. – It’s not snobbery, it’s science (temperature matters) – Plus, it’s the secret handshake of wine people 🔸 3. Can’t smell anything? It might be “closed.” – Some wines need oxygen to open up – That’s why decanting isn’t just for show 🔸 4. Use “expressive” to describe bold aromas. – Way classier than saying “smells loud” – Bonus points for words like “exuberant” or “showy” 🔸 5. Spitting = classy, not gross. – Especially at tastings, where the goal is to evaluate, not get lit 🔸 6. “Spicy” is vague. Be specific. – Use “peppery,” “clove-like,” or “leathery” instead – Or just say “it’s giving mulled wine” and see who nods 🔸 7. Clink like a pro. – Hit bowl to bowl for the best ring – Eye contact = mandatory 🔸 8. Can’t explain the flavor? Blame terroir. – It’s the most overused word in wine... and still kind of perfect 🎓 Bottom line: You don’t need a wine diploma to sound like you belong at the tasting table. Just a few insider tricks — and maybe a swirl or two. Share the slide that surprised you the most with a wine loving friend! 🍇 🎯 Learn more at WineFolly.com #WineTips #SommelierTricks #LearnWine #WineHumor #FakeItTilYouDecantIt

🐟+🍷 = 🔥 Fish and Wine Pairings That Actually Work Pairing wine with fish isn’t always smooth sailing. Ever had a sip of red that made your sea bass taste like pennies? Yeah, that’s tannins picking a fight with fish oils. So, what does work? It all comes down to texture, flavor, and prep. Here's your cheat sheet: 💡 Lean & Flaky Fish (tilapia, flounder, sole) – Pair with zesty, bone-dry whites – Think: Muscadet, Albariño, Vinho Verde, Chablis 💡 Medium-Textured Fish (trout, halibut, snapper) – Match with aromatic or creamy whites – Try: Pinot Gris, Vermentino, oaked Chenin Blanc 💡 Meaty Fish (swordfish, tuna, salmon) – These can handle fuller whites and some reds – Reach for: Viognier, Marsanne, rosé, or even Pinot Noir 💡 Strongly Flavored Fish (anchovies, sardines, mackerel) – Go bold or go home – Look to: Dry Lambrusco, Gamay, Champagne, Crémant 🎯 Learn more at WineFolly.com #WineTips #WinePairing #SeafoodAndWine #FishDinner
