Serving Imported Red Wine is a Sign of Sophistication
Serving Imported Red Wine is a Sign of Elegance
It doesn’t matter what type of food you serve. One of the ways to elevate the meals you serve in your restaurant is to offer guests a variety of imported red wines to enjoy with their meals.
Red wines are being combined with dishes that have never before been paired with wine. It’s a sign of the food world’s increased adventurism and willingness to embrace new experiences. For individual cuisines, it expands the ingredients’ flavors and adds new and unusual accents to the dishes you thought you knew well.
Magic of Red Wine
Full-bodied red wines are growing in popularity in Thailand. Syrahs, Cabernets, Chiantis, Merlots, Beaujolais, and other varieties of full-bodied red wines first created in the Mediterranean countries of Greece, France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy have become the favourite wines to be paired with hearty and spicy foods. They are a perfect accompaniment to Thai cuisine.
Hearty red wines are made from dark-coloured grapes with thick skins. The grape’s pips are also added to the fermented mixture to create the wine. The pips contribute to the dry mouthfeel of the tannins in the wine.
The tannins and the compounds added by the oak aging process create the magic and complex appeal of full-bodied red wines. Aging red wines in oak barrels impart aroma compounds that include vanillin. These compounds help add body and balance out the harshness and ‘edge’ of young wines. New oak barrels are more effective than older barrels at imparting these compounds. These barrels are sometimes ‘toasted.’ A flame torch is inserted into the barrel to char the interior. The charring adds different esters that add flavour and depth to a wine.
Most of the full-bodied red wines on the market today are aged for twelve months or longer to achieve the depth and complexity the winemaker is looking for. Winemaking strives for a delicate balance of flavour, mouthfeel, structure, and depth. The craft combines the science of chemistry with an understanding of soil, weather conditions, and botany to achieve the magic that delights food lovers all over the globe.
