What You Need to Know About Medium Bodied Red Wine

Let's face it, sometimes life is a sh!tshow.  Glorious, a little unpredictable, and always better with a glass of good wine.  At Grovedale Winery, one of our go to’s is Sh!tshow Red, a medium bodied red wine.  Not too light and not too heavy, it’s the perfect wine for everyday and exactly what a medium bodied red wine would be.  Here are a few tips to make the most of your Sh!tshow Red!

How to Store Medium Bodied Red Wine After Opening

Of course, this is assuming you didn’t finish the bottle with friends.  The key to preserving your bottle of wine after opening is to minimize exposure to oxygen.  Your best bet it to recork it tightly and pop it in the fridge.  The cooler temperature helps to slow the oxidation process.  You can let it return to room temperature before serving again if you wish.  This will usually buy you 3-5 days before the taste is affected, so don’t wait too long to enjoy!

Chill or Not to Chill? The Great Debate

When it comes to serving temperature, resist the urge to serve your medium-bodied red wine at "room temperature" unless your room happens to be a chilly wine cellar. For reds, the ideal serving temperature is usually between 55-65°F.  For Sh!tshow Red, a slight chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge before serving can amplify the flavors for a smoother wine drinking experience. 

What Glass is Best for Red Wine?

While any glass you can get your hands on (including a coffee mug in a pinch, we've all been there) will get the job done, the right glass can enhance the experience.  For a medium bodied red wine like our Sh!tshow Red, a standard red wine glass with a slightly wider bowl and a narrower opening is ideal. This shape allows the wine to breathe a bit and concentrates the aromas to your nose, enhancing those delightful notes of whatever magical nonsense we put into Sh!tshow Red.
