How High Is Your Wine IQ?

Using your hands to hold the bowl of the glass will [heat up your wine](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/basics-serving-wine-glassware/), so hold it by the stem instead.

Rielsing is popular type of white wine that is the [lightest and sweetest tasting](http://winefolly.com/review/common-types-of-wine/).

Wine grapes are small and sweet grapes that have both [thick skins and seeds](http://winefolly.com/review/common-types-of-wine/).

Letting a wine breathe in a glass pitcher or decanter for 30 to 45 minutes can [greatly improve the flavour of wine](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/basics-serving-wine-glassware/).

It's called a [worm](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/basics-serving-wine-glassware/)! And by inserting the "worm" into the centre of the cork, you can reduce your chances of tearing the cork.

The [correct tasting method](http://winefolly.com/review/how-to-taste-wine-develop-palate/) begins with observing the wine visually, then smelling it, and then, finally, tasting the wine.

Holding the cork and the cage together will give you [more control](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/how-to-open-champagne-safely/) once the cork is no longer secure.

This trick requires some practice but it should [guide drips](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/how-to-pour-wine/) down the back of the bottle, where you can wipe them away with a napkin.

Storing your bottle upright will reduce the amount of surface area that's [exposed to oyxgen](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/storing-open-red-wine/), keeping your wine fresher for longer.

Cabernet Sauvignon is popular type of red wine that is the [most full-bodied and savoury](http://winefolly.com/review/common-types-of-wine/). Full-bodied wines are [typically darker](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/10-darkest-full-bodied-red-wines/) and more of their flavour comes from the grapes.

After 1 to 3 days in the fridge, sparkling wine will [lose its carbonation](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/how-long-opened-wine-lasts/).

If the food is sweeter than the wine it's matched with, the wine will end up tasting [too bitter in comparison](http://winefolly.com/review/5-tips-to-perfect-food-and-wine-pairing/). That's why people pair port wine with dessert.

Both the [handheld and tabletop swirls](http://winefolly.com/tutorial/how-to-swirl-wine/) will coat the glass with aromas (while making you look pretty cool, too.)

Red wines ferment with red grape skins for weeks at a time, while rosé ferments with them for [only a short time](http://winefolly.com/review/what-is-rose-wine/).

It's the [other way around](http://winefolly.com/review/champagne-vs-prosecco/)! Champagne is from France and prosecco comes from Italy.

Wow, you failed this quiz HARD. Are you sure you’re not more of a beer person?

Yikes! It’s time for you to enroll in wine school, because you just got schooled.

You know your wine basics but you’ve still got a lot to learn. Drink up and try again!

Very impressive! Your wine IQ is pretty high, but not quite in the top percentile. Don’t freak out. Your score is nothing to wine about.

Oh hot damn. You're a real wine connoisseur! You are a wine genius. Reward yourself with a glass. Or maybe three. You deserve it.
