Common Myths About Wine

As the consumption of wine in India increases, so do the myths and misconceptions associated with it, especially when there are few ways to educate the general public about wine. Here are some of the most common myths that we at WineInstincts try to dismiss.

Myth # 1: Fruitiness and Sweetness are similar.

This is the most common misconception a newbie develops when tasting a wine.The wine's sweetness is often mistaken for its fruitiness. In reality, there are few wines that can be considered as sweet, but many can be called fruity. A wine's fruitiness is often judged by the process of smelling the wine. For instance, when we use phrases like "notes of almond, or ripe apples, and red cherries", then we are talking about fruitiness. But if we mention smells of honey or pineapple, it doesn't mean that it is sweet. However, some white wines can be considered sweet, but finding a sweet red wine is rare.

Myth # 2: Red wine can give you headaches because of its sulfur content.

One of my best friends always complained about how he gets headaches after drinking red wine. So I decided to dig deeper as I do not want him to be deprived of enjoying earth's best prepared drink for mankind. Unless one has rare allergy to sulfites, the headache you get after drinking a glass of vintage red wine can be blamed more on dehydration rather than sulfites. In reality, these sulfites are actually beneficial to wine making, as these act partly as preservatives and help wine age better and longer.

This being said, those wines that are being promoted as "sulfite-free" have actually a much shorter lifespan. So before sipping a glass of red wine from South Africa, try popping in a Disprin tablet (or any headache pill) and drink up a tall glass of water. As a matter of fact, white wine has more sulfur than reds.

Myth # 3: Using screw caps means cheaper wines than natural corks

Some think wines that come in screw caps are not proper wines but made from grape concentrate instead of actual grapes. In actuality, wine experts truly believe that a screw cap (or stelvin enclosure), is simply guaranteeing the precious vintage of wine. Of course, it looses its charm of opening a wine the traditional way compared to opening a wine sealed with a cork, but natural corks may also carry chemical compounds, called TCA, that is very harmful to the wine.

Most wines that come in a cork are prone to having the cork's "essence" seep into the wine, creating an aroma that is best described as that of wet cardboard. So don't pass judgment right away if you encounter a wine packed with a screw-cap, or a plastic cork even. You will not be missing out on quality if you select a twist-off; however, you might miss the sound and anticipation of the cork leaving the bottle!

Myth #4: Cooking wine should be the cheapest kind of wine.

It's a common notion to use a day-old, unfinished red wine or get the cheaper ones out of your collection for cooking that ultimate dish for your friends. Not necessarily. You don't sacrifice your dinner by pairing it with a cheap, unappealing wine, so why do the same when cooking food?

Cooking with a rich wine means adding wine's concentrated flavors that makes the dish enticing. If you focus on cooking with a cheap wine, this would only indulge in adding poor flavors that result in a mediocre meal. So, next time, try adding a few more Rupees (Indian currency for my expat friends) and spend on a wine that tastes so good, it would taste better when being cooked.

Myth # 5: White wine isn't made for aging.

White wine and red wine are produced in almost the same manner. The main difference of the two is that white wine is manufactured from fermented grapes (including red ones) whose skin is separated from the fruit during fermentation, while in red wine the skin is intact during the same process. But that doesn't mean all red wines can be aged for a very long time either. Just like red wine, white wine can be aged too, sometimes even for more than a decade or more. For instance, top ranked white Burgundies can be cellared for a decade as it is increases complexity and richness when cellared. Also, German Rieslings from Mosel & Rhine, can be long-lived, and will develop wondrous complexity with age.

A good Indian restaurant London will always keep this thing in mind and prepare your food with fresh ingredients only. Traditionally in every home in India fresh ingredients are used to cook food this not only imparts the flavour and taste but also at the same time is very healthy.

An authentic Indian restaurant London would always use fresh ingredients for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The vegetables used should be fresh and a daily produce refrigerating it for long kills the nutrient value of the vegetables and when you cook gravy from it the gravy turns out to be distaste and also very unhealthy. The meat and fishes used to cook your dishes should also be very fresh. If the meat and fishes are not fresh then you would not get the real taste of authentic gourmet Indian food.

The freshness of the ingredients makes the gravy tastier and when coupled with authentic Indian spices then you get finger-licking gourmet Indian food.

When you opt for an Indian restaurant London you should carefully pick the one that has the reputation to serve you with authentic gourmet Indian food.

Best Indian Curry in London- What Should You Look For

Indian curry is one of the most popular restaurant food and many people find it hard to discover the best curry restaurant in London. There are many Indian restaurants available but the best is yet to discover.

A good Indian restaurant should have combination of quality such as real authentic food, wonderful service and superior interior. It is hard to combine all these quality in one restaurant.

Real food comes as a big fact in Indian curry industry. Many restaurants fail to make sense with their food as they all seem to taste the same and their foods taste far from real Indian curry. A real curry has its own smell and taste with carefully selected spices with a great balance. For example a chicken korma is made of mild spices such as almond powder and doesn't contain any herbs like coriander and a chicken pal should not have much of chilli powder where it should be more green chilli to give a fresh smell and taste.

Warming service is very important for any restaurant business. Without good service there will be no customers. Some Indian restaurants in London seem to have overwhelming hospitality without any professional service experience. The staffs should be friendly and make you comfortable with the environment.

A good interior is not the most important but has a great affect on restaurant business. The first look may give many people a good idea about the place. If you like the environment you may taste the curry better than it is.

Many Indian restaurants in London have succeeded with all these quality and established themselves for long run business. Tayyabs restaurant in East London is one of the examples to have superior reputation for its all rounder quality.

Curiosities of Food: Or the Dainties and Delicacies of Different Nations Obtained from the Animal Kingdom $8 Originally published in London in 1859, this rare treasure of culinary history was recently brought to light in the award-winning Oxford Companion to Food, whose author, Alan Davidson, used it as a primary reference in researching some of the more obscure foodstuffs consumed across the globe. Davidson writes that "[CURIOSITIES] is in all probability the first attempt to write a general worldwide survey of animal products." Long out of print and scarce even in the antiquarian market, this lost classic of wit, erudition, and grand storytelling is now made available in a facsimile edition, with an introduction by Davidson. As Simmonds reveals in his charming culinary travelogue, just about everything that walks, swims, crawls, slithers, or flies has been eaten at one time or another, and the eminent Victorian scholar has the tasting notes. On lizards: "In Guatemala, there is a popular belief, that lizards eaten alive cure cancer. . . . The man who first eat a live oyster or clam, was certainly a venturous fellow, but the eccentric individual who allowed a live lizard to run down his throat was infinitely more so." • One of the most important works of culinary history from the nineteenth century, and a significant primary source for Alan Davidson's award-winning Oxford Companion to Food.

Tyramine is generally produced by decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine during fermentation of food products. All protein -rich foods which have been matured will contain more tyramine depending on the temperature and how long they have been stored. Properly refrigerated foods will not be affected.The amount required to cause a 30 mmHg (4.0 kPa) increase in systolic blood pressure is referred to as TYR30, and generally averages around 500 mg in an unmedicated, healthy individual. A class of antidepressants called MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), and particularly MAOIs that inhibit the isozyme MAO-A, can increase the sensitivity to tyramine if taken orally. If sufficient quantities of tyramine are ingested after MAO-A inhibition, hypertensive crises may occur, potentially causing stroke or cardiac arrhythmia . There is disputed evidence that tyramine may trigger migraines in sensitive individuals.This list is for informational purposes only; it is neither all-inclusive nor does it go into any particular depth. If you plan to avoid tyramine in your diet, you are urged to seek professional guidance.

These include Parmesan, romano, asiago, aged cheddar and other strong-tasting hard cheeses. While there are some, such

Curiosities of Food: Or the Dainties and Delicacies of Different Nations Obtained from the Animal Kingdom $8 Originally published in London in 1859, this rare treasure of culinary history was recently brought to light in the award-winning Oxford Companion to Food, whose author, Alan Davidson, used it as a primary reference in researching some of the more obscure foodstuffs consumed across the globe. Davidson writes that "[CURIOSITIES] is in all probability the first attempt to write a general worldwide survey of animal products." Long out of print and scarce even in the antiquarian market, this lost classic of wit, erudition, and grand storytelling is now made available in a facsimile edition, with an introduction by Davidson. As Simmonds reveals in his charming culinary travelogue, just about everything that walks, swims, crawls, slithers, or flies has been eaten at one time or another, and the eminent Victorian scholar has the tasting notes. On lizards: "In Guatemala, there is a popular belief, that lizards eaten alive cure cancer. . . . The man who first eat a live oyster or clam, was certainly a venturous fellow, but the eccentric individual who allowed a live lizard to run down his throat was infinitely more so." • One of the most important works of culinary history from the nineteenth century, and a significant primary source for Alan Davidson's award-winning Oxford Companion to Food.

How a Wine Club Can Help You

If you are new to wine, a wine club will help you find out which wines you really like (and those that you don’t). It is the perfect way of discovering new wines on a regular basis. If you’re not currently a member of a wine club, you should think again. Here’s why you are missing out.

Do you generally stick to what you know?

When faced with rows and rows of unfamiliar wines in the local supermarket, do you find that you always end up sticking to what you know? If you do branch out, it’s likely to be because you are swayed by the nicest, most appealing label or because you’ve gone on someone else’s recommendations (which then leave you feeling flat when you discover that you don’t like the same wine as them!) So in your quest to buy new, exciting, great tasting wines for your dinner party or Sunday Lunch, you come away with your same old, trusted bottle of wine. Sound familiar?

Join a Wine Club:

But all of that could be put to an end if you join a wine club. Each month or quarter (depending on the wine club), the wine club will send you a selection of wines from around the world. Featuring a variety of whites, reds, rosé and maybe the odd sparkling or dessert wine, you get to try wines from different grapes, countries and styles. True, you probably won’t like them all but it’s a great way of tasting your way through a selection of new releases, customer favourites and award winning wines that you probably wouldn’t have previously dared chosen.

Discover What You Like:

In the same way that we all like different food, the key thing to remember about wine is that we all like different wines and no one can tell you what you will like. (Remember this next time you are in the wine shop!) So to get the most out of your wines, you need to work out what you like. To help you along the way, most wine clubs enclose detailed information in the wine club case about the wines, so that you can learn more about the grape, country and winemaker as you drink. Suggestions for food matches can also give you confidence next time you host a dinner party. It’s also worth rating your wine club wines as you taste them, as you can be sure that you’ll have forgotten how the first ones tasted by the time you finish the case! Even better is to choose a wine club that displays customer comments on its website. That way, you’ll have an idea of what to expect from your wine club wine before you taste it.

Wine Styles Can Help:

Some wine clubs, such as the Virgin Wines Discovery Wine Club, categorise wines by style, such as “Classic Chardonnay”, “Oaky Aussie Chardonnay”, “Huge Reds” and “Soft and Juicy” reds. This is great for newcomers to wine, as it is far more intuitive than the traditional country and grape based categories, plus it recognises that certain grape varieties like Chardonnay can vary significantly in taste. The real advantage of being a member of a wine club that categorises wines in this way, is that it opens wine drinkers up to a far wider range of wines than they might otherwise have come across. For example in the “Fragrant but Dry” category, wine drinkers will find Argentinean Torrontes as a great value alternative to a pricey French Muscat – a recommendation that you won’t get from a wine club or shop that focuses simply on grape or country.

Try a Tasting Course:

To help wine drinkers learn more about wine, some wine clubs offer tasting courses or events. Tasting wines back-to-back allows drinkers to really get a feel for how two different wines taste and, ultimately, it can help them decide what to buy more of in the future.

Risk Free Buying:

Still not convinced? Part of the fun of joining a wine club is tasting new wines and discovering new favourites but if you are worried about getting something you really don’t like and wouldn’t have chosen yourself, don’t worry. Many wine clubs offer a money back guarantee, so if you come across a wine that you really can’t stomach, they will refund your money.

Join Today:

Joining a wine club can really help you when it comes to learning about wine. Not only will you get to taste a variety of new wines and find out what you really like but also it will give you more confidence in choosing your wines. You’ll never need worry about picking out a bottle of wine for your next dinner party again! To find out about Virgin Wines’ Discovery Wine Club, visit Virgin Wines.
