We do love an old wife\u2019s tale here at Xtrawine. And we\u2019re willing to bet that your own mothers and grandmothers have plenty of pearls of wisdom to share with you, many gleaned from generations gone past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all heard things like how breaking a mirror gives you seven years of bad luck or how you shouldn\u2019t put brand new shoes on a table before wearing them. Some will see these as silly superstitions, and we suppose they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it comes to the much more serious issue of Italian wine<\/a>, this silly little myths can damage the drink itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we look at some of the most common myths about Italian wine and explain why you shouldn\u2019t listen to any of them. And we\u2019re going to start with a big one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Teaspoon in a Sparkling Wine Helps it to Keep its Bubbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve cracked open a bottle of bubbly but you haven\u2019t drunk the whole thing. Sparkling wine is notorious for losing its fizz if it\u2019s left open for a day or two, but you\u2019d love the chance to keep the wine alive for just a little bit longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you recall an old trick. You don\u2019t remember where you heard it but it goes a little like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you place a teaspoon in the wine, handle down, it will somehow keep its bubbles for a day or two longer than it otherwise would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not exactly sure where this myth originated from but we can say without a doubt that the air is not afraid of your cutlery. The presence of a spoon on the wine isn\u2019t going to stop oxygen from doing its thing. If anything, it\u2019s going to give the wine a metallic taste that isn\u2019t appetising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a much simpler solution to the loss of bubbles problem\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the wine cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As any carbonated\/bubbly beverage heats up, it loses the bubbles that are inherent to it. By keeping the wine on ice, you give it a much better chance of lasting for a long time than you would by dumping a piece of metal into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corks Are Better Than Screw Caps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can already here the traditionalists getting the pitchforks ready on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the simple fact is that there\u2019s no real evidence to suggest that corking a bottle leads to a better taste that using a screw cap. In fact, using cork can occasionally ruin the wine if it\u2019s a bad batch of cork or the bottle isn\u2019t sealed properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cork taint, oxidation, and simply allowing leakage are all problems that are more likely with cork than with screw caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, we\u2019re not going to say that screw caps are better either. Some may argue that wine that comes into contact with a metal cap could lose some of its quality too. But we\u2019re standing steadfast in the opinion that it doesn\u2019t matter which you use. What\u2019s more important is that the wine\u2019s properly sealed to prevent air from getting in and properly stored in a cool place away from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expensive is Always Better<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of less expensive wines on the Xtrawine website alone that prove that cost is not the determining factor when it comes to the quality of a wine. What really matters is the love and attention that\u2019s put into the wine by the people who produce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, more expensive wines certainly tend to have a higher level of prestige. And they tend to come from companies that are more established in the winemaking world. But that doesn\u2019t automatically make them better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, an up and coming winery might price its wines a little cheaper just to get some more exposure. This doesn\u2019t mean that the wine isn\u2019t any good. It simply means they\u2019re looking to establish their own niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is without talking about the subjective aspect of drinking wine. A more expensive wine may have a combination of notes that you simply don\u2019t enjoy. And now, you\u2019re left with a hole in your wallet and a wine you don\u2019t even like to show for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality is somewhat in the eye of the beholder. But we can say for certain the price is never an indicator of quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wine\u00a0Always<\/em>\u00a0Gets Better With Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a tough one to argue with as it\u2019s one that pervades wine culture to a huge extent. And in many cases, Italian wines will develop new qualities and become \u201cbetter\u201d if you allow it to age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not the case every single time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some wines could even be better when they\u2019re young than they are when they\u2019ve aged a little while. And again, the subjectivity of drinking wine comes into play here. Sometimes, the changes to a wine as it ages may lead to you not enjoying it as much anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, there\u2019s always the danger of a wine ageing a little too much. There\u2019s a fine line to walk between perfectly aged and over-aged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is that ageing isn\u2019t always the best policy when it comes to Italian wine. Research the ageing potential and figure out what happens to the wine as it ages. The trick is to find the perfect age for your own palate, rather than simply ascribing to an idea of older is always better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those are four of the most common myths in the world of Italian wine well and truly busted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single one of these myths can cause issues for wine lovers. In the case of the spoon in the bubbly, you\u2019re having no positive effects and may even damage the wine. Other myths on this list could stop you discovering great wines because they don\u2019t cost as much as you think they should or they\u2019re not as old as you think they need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All we can say is that you shouldn\u2019t allow any of these myths to affect your wine buying, or drinking, experience. <\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
