Wine (serve chilled)

Method

Wine (serve chilled)

  1. 1

    Refrigerator chilling (preferred)

    Place the TAPI* white wine bottle upright in the refrigerator for at least 2–4 hours before serving. This brings the wine to an ideal chilled serving temperature (about 45–55°F / 7–13°C) depending on the style.

  2. 2

    Quick ice-bath chill

    If you need the wine chilled quickly, fill a bucket or large container with 1 liter cold water and 2 cups of ice. Submerge the bottle in the ice bath for 20–30 minutes, turning occasionally for even chilling.

  3. 3

    As a last resort, place the bottle upright in a bowl filled with ice for 10–15 minutes. Do not leave in direct contact with ice for too long to avoid dilution from melting ice if the bottle is open.

Glassware & garnish

  1. 4

    Select clean white wine glasses (one per guest). If desired, chill the glasses in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving.

  2. 5

    About 5–10 minutes before serving, remove the bottle from the refrigerator or ice bath. Wipe the bottle dry with a towel.

  3. 6

    Open the bottle carefully using a corkscrew or by unscrewing the cap. Pour slowly into each glass, filling to about one-third to one-half full (approximately 4–6 ounces / 120–180 ml per glass) to allow the wine to aerate.

  4. 7

    If you like, add a thin lemon peel twist or a thin slice of green apple on the rim as a subtle garnish that complements many white wine flavor profiles.

  5. 8

    Serve immediately at the recommended temperature. If guests prefer slightly warmer wine, let glasses sit for a few minutes; for colder preference, return the bottle briefly to an ice bath between pours.
