    "Oh, then you have to drink more today. This opportunity will never come to you again!" His words this time fully showed his contempt.

    After the rich man named Potter finished speaking, the laughter in the restaurant became even louder, and everyone cast mocking glances at him.  [bsp; ¡°I will definitely enjoy it to the fullest.¡±

    Meng Zhe ignored his unreasonableness and answered calmly, showing good cultivation.

    From the moment he agreed to the non-profit invitation, he had expected that a situation like today would happen.

    Although he was angry in his heart, he still maintained his proper expression on his face. After all, if he wanted to have an attack again, he still had to consider Jon's face.

    "Enjoy it? Hahaha Do you know how to enjoy it? Red wine is for tasting, not drinking like a cow! It is a waste for people like you to drink such good wine!"

    He regarded Meng Zhe's calmness as a sign of humility, and mocked him more unscrupulously, his eyes full of contempt.

    His words once again caused everyone to burst into laughter, and their eyes showed contempt.

    Meng Zhe still did not show anger at his cynicism, but instead acted more cultivated.

    He smiled faintly and said slowly, "Oh, really? Then I'll learn how to taste Yipin."

    These rich and famous people simply don¡¯t believe that this poor boy in front of them can drink any good red wine, let alone that he can taste wine!

    When Meng Zhe spoke, he glanced around the entire restaurant. Except for the wealthy people who were laughing so hard, even the waiters were laughing this time!

    Feeling that they had been disgraced, Mr. and Mrs. Jon¡¯s faces turned black and blue!  Even Feili, who had extended the invitation to him, regretted it and felt disgraced.

    After finishing speaking, Meng Zhe gently crossed the fork tines on his hands downwards. The knife and fork looked like an inverted V shape and placed it on the plate in the 8:20 direction.  In French cuisine, once the tableware is in your hand during a meal, it cannot touch the table again.

    The way he placed the dishes told the waiter not to take away the plates.  After placing the tableware, Meng Zhe gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

    I saw that he not only pinched the stem under the wine glass with his fingers slowly, but the wine was gently swaying from bottom to top, and rotated in a graceful spiral motion in the direction of the rotation of the wine glass.

    For wine, the temperature of the wine is the most important, so when raising a glass, the posture of holding the glass is particularly important.

    From a convenience perspective, it is most natural and stable to hold the cup in your hand.  Many people hold cups this way.

    But the correct posture is to hold the cup stem under the cup body with your fingers, or even hold the bottom of the cup with your thumb and index finger.

    The reason why this unnatural and unbalanced posture is correct is that it avoids transferring body temperature to the wine on the one hand, and on the other hand it prevents finger prints from being left on the body of the glass, which would affect the appreciation of the wine.

    The wine in the glass formed a larger concave surface due to his beautiful movements.  He had practiced this cup shaking action many times with water, so it seemed that he was doing it skillfully and gracefully.

    The shaking of the wine accelerates the release and oxidation of the aroma, creating a gentle process.

    Meng Zhe put his nose close to the cup and smelled it. After a few seconds, he smiled and said unhurriedly: "The strong aroma of blackcurrant is slowly overflowing with the aroma of minerals, tobacco and coffee.  "As soon as he finished speaking, the originally disappointed eyes of Jon and his wife quickly became brighter.

    Meng Zhe raised the wine glass gracefully, took a sip, and said slowly: "It has a mellow taste and a heavy body it is concentrated and fragrant, with a balanced structure and exquisite and elegant tannins." Then he took another sip and said:  ¡°The aftertaste lasts long and the aroma lingers for a long time. It¡¯s really a good wine!¡±

    After finishing speaking, Meng Zhe raised the cup in his hand to eye level, looked at Feili, and said with a smile: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Feili, for letting me drink this 82-year-old Latour!"

    "Oh, young Meng, you are awesome! Haha"

    Meng Zhe¡¯s ability to correctly taste this red wine made Feili, who had just felt humiliated, ecstatic.  He happily raised his glass and took a sip.

    The quality of a wine is closely related to the climate conditions of the place where it was produced.

    Products from the same vineyard may not all be of the same quality.  It's different every year.  Slight changes in weather can affect the taste of wine, so certain years are called vintages.

    Meng Zhe¡¯s words shocked everyone and shocked all the wealthy people. Everyone who was waiting to see his joke just now had surprise in their eyes!

    These rich people associate with these fine wines every day, and they can naturally taste it as soon as they take a sip.  And this inexperienced little person only took two sips, and he was able to taste the vintage of this wine!

      And what he said was very clear and logical. Judging from his wine tasting performance just now, it didn¡¯t look like he had never drank good wine at all. Instead, he looked like he had drank a lot of good wine!

    Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions like this, Meng Zhe was very happy, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.

    "Oh, Meng, you surprised me again!" Jon's face was now beaming, and he gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

    "Oh, Jon, you are so flattering, I only know a little bit about it."

    After laughing and joking with Jon, Meng Zhe casually glanced at the unreasonable guy opposite. He was drooping his big head like an oil drum with a gloomy face.

    He also felt Meng Zhe¡¯s gaze.  Meng Zhe grinned at him and raised the wine glass in his hand. Out of courtesy, he raised his glass in response.

    Meng Zhe secretly said in his heart: "Brother, it's not that easy to make me look embarrassed. Although I can't taste what kind of red wine it is, I have a way to find someone who can taste it, haha" Others tasted it.  You may be wrong, but the host who is treating you to dinner will definitely not be wrong.

    Meng Zhe used the time of shaking the cup to sneak into the owner's evil heart.  Therefore, his evaluation of red wine just now was just based on what the gourd was saying.

    ¡°Latour¡± means ¡°city tower¡± in French, and the logo of the winery is a lion riding on the tower.

    Because a castle was built here in 1378, overlooking the Gironde estuary, it has an important strategic location and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

    There were battles here during the Hundred Years' War between England and France.  The original city tower was a two-story square stone tower that no longer exists.

    The photos of the round castle we see now at Chateau Latour are actually the Pigeon House built in the 17th century.

    Chateau Latour is located in the village of Pauillac in the Mercado production area, 50 kilometers northwest of Bordeaux, with unique climate and soil conditions.

    The vineyard area is 65 hectares, of which 47 hectares are in the center of the territory, called enclos, the official wine of Chateau Latour

    andvin all come from this.

    Chateau Latour has been known to Chinese people as early as the late Qing Dynasty. In the wine catalog at that time, this type of top wine was called "big wine", transliterated as "Ladu", and it seemed to have more royal aura than "Latour"  .

    The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 18 months.  The variety Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for about 75% and Merlot accounts for 20%. It has rich tannins.

    The best wines get better and better, sometimes reaching their best condition decades after production.

    Asking for red tickets and collecting!  Please collect it, thank you!
