Wine Bon Ton

Il mondo ipocrita non vuol dare importanza al mangiare; ma poi non si fa festa, civile o religiosa, che non si distenda la tovaglia e non si cerchi di pappare del meglio. Pellegrino Artusi, dal libro “La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiare bene”

During the celebrations, for Christmas or for birthday or anniversary, it is nice and also fun set the table at home as in the restaurant: set the plates, know the right place of cutlery and glasses, know those little rules that Mise en Place make us look good.
And then …. assign seats at the table and serve according to the rules of etiquette.
And yet …. serving wines in the right progression and with the right temperature, make a toast to Etiquette.

An exercise that should be done every so often both to keep certain traditions that once were indispensable, often obligatory, both to pass down to youth and children the rules of behavior in which it identifies the good education (which never hurts, especially today).

A brief guide, with some suggestions (there would be plenty of course) for your next event. galateo_vino
