There are even plenty of wine-based cocktails that we would recommend. Some of them use Italian wines, like <strong>Prosecco<\/strong>, to create truly incredible flavours. Sure, some of the purists will tell you that you should never mix anything with your wine. But the occasional experimentation with other alcohols can help you unlock something new in a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That all makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about mixing your wine with water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you just read that and feel sick. Why would anyone want to mix water and wine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will look at why some people do this and why you should avoid it. But first, let\u2019s look at what we <em>don\u2019t <\/em>mean when discussing mixing water with wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is Water and Wine Okay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When we talk about not mixing water and wine, we don\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t drink water and wine in the space of the same meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In fact, a glass of water can help you to cleanse your palate in between sips. There\u2019s nothing wrong with keeping a glass of water on the side to take the occasional sip out of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>What we mean when we say don\u2019t mix water and wine is exactly that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t mix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Do not pour a little water into your wine at any point. We\u2019d even go so far as to say that you shouldn\u2019t put ice in your wine either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">And it\u2019s also a good idea to fully swallow a sip of wine before you take a sip of water too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you probably have one question in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would someone mix water and Italian wine in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a logic to this madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Do People Do It?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two reasons why people may mix water and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Some are attempting to be pragmatic. We all know that alcohol can have a dehydrating effect on the body. It\u2019s the leading cause of the hangover that you may experience after a night of drinking wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Some people put a little water into their wine because they think that mixing the two will somehow help them to avoid the hangover that comes after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is nice, but it doesn\u2019t really work that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Sipping from a glass or bottle of water in between drinks is much more effective in avoiding the dreaded hangover. You don\u2019t have to ruin a perfectly good bottle of Italian wine by adding water to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there are the people who are looking to ruin their wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Ok, so that\u2019s a little harsh. What we mean by that is that some people mix water and wine because the wine that they\u2019re trying to drink is a little too powerful for their tastes. As a result, they\u2019ll try to dilute the wine before drinking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Again, there\u2019s a logic to this line of thinking. But it\u2019s something that we recommend that you avoid too. In fact, here are a few reasons why you should never mix water with Italian wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason #1 \u2013 It Changes the Wine\u2019s Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Winemakers spend years of their lives perfecting their techniques to make outstanding wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you pour water into a glass of wine, you\u2019re undoing all of that hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The water actively changes the chemical composition of the wine. It\u2019s like the oxygenation process, only it works much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The simple fact is that you\u2019re destroying something that someone else worked very hard to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-13.png\" alt=\"Water and Wine\" class=\"wp-image-43568\" width=\"554\" height=\"368\"\/><figcaption><em>A fine food and wine pairing<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason #2 \u2013 It Lowers the Wine\u2019s Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to go out on a limb and say that nobody who\u2019s ever consumed wine with water in it has said that it actually improves the quality of the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At best, it can make a complex wine a little easier to drink. But that has nothing to do with improving quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">People often add water to wine so that they can experience wines that they\u2019d otherwise struggle with. The irony is that the very act of adding water means that they\u2019re not experiencing the wine in the way it was intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a better idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Instead of trying to run before you can walk, try to train your palate. If you find that a wine is too complex for you to drink, try a few less complex wines. This can help you adjust your palette so you\u2019re ready to take on the real thing later rather than drink a watered-down version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reason #3 \u2013 Water Doesn\u2019t Actually Mix With Wine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll turn things over to the <strong>Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory<\/strong> scientists to explain this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people mix water with wine to pace themselves and avoid the dreaded hangover. But that probably won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Scientists have examined what happens when you mix water and alcohol. And they found that, even at their most purest levels, water and alcohol simply don\u2019t fully mix. Instead, you get this odd concoction of liquids that are still trying to act like they do when they\u2019re unmixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t make for a nice-tasting experience. And you won\u2019t achieve the pre-emptive hangover cure you sought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with drinking water alongside your glass of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">But mixing them means that you\u2019re diluting the wine\u2019s quality. You\u2019re no longer drinking the wine as the maker intended you to. Instead, you\u2019ve created your own drink, which is almost guaranteed to not offer the same level of quality as the wine on its own would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Think about it like this. When you have a good bottle of Italian wine, you go to great lengths to protect it. You store it out of the sun, keep it at the right temperature, and avoid exposing it to too much air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why ruin all of that good work by adding water when you finally crack open the bottle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Try-them-now.png\" alt=\"exclusive find out more\" class=\"wp-image-38746\" width=\"210\" height=\"84\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever mixed water and wine?
