5 Reasons to Love Wine: Flower Mound Bars
Most winos would agree that a glass of wine is meaningful, a drink of inherent love and tumultuous passion. With Americans likely to edge out Italy and France in wine consumption in the near future, you may wonder, why do we love wine so much?
Here are just some of the reasons to enjoy a glass of wine at Rustico Grill & Wine Bar, one of the best Flower Mound bars today.
Wine is Great for Any Occasion
From casual Wednesday night wood-fired pizza with friends to a weekend date night with your significant other, a great selection of wine is calling you. A simple glass has the ability to transform any evening into an impromptu celebration. Or perhaps you had a difficult day at the office and the only thing that can save the day is an artisan Charcuterie board and a glass of wine with your favorite people. You decide the time and place, then let wine work it’s magic.
It Expresses the World’s Geology
No other substance on Earth can so fundamentally express the Earth’s geology. Terrior isn’t just a word to describe a bottle, it’s real. The bottle you’re drinking reflects a hillside’s soil, the amount of sunlight it receives, and the weather during that year. No other drink reveals its geological context through its fruit like wine does. The best Flower Mound bars, like Rustico, boasts over 50 New and Old World Wines from around the globe.
There Are Outstanding Aromas
Wine is a sensual experience, designed to pleasure the senses. In esteemed 20th-century oenologist Émile Peynaud’s book “The Taste of Wine,” he asserted that wine is tasted primarily by smell, or the bouquet. When you sniff a glass of wine you may not be able to identify the flavors in words, but it takes us back to familiar and wonderful memories, such as cooking with grandma when you were child. A trained nose can even smell out the wine’s region, age, assemblage, and how it was produced.
Wine Makes Food Taste Better
Have you ever found a condiment that makes food taste so good you want to use it with everything? Good news, it’s wine! Wine is filled with flavor components like tannins and acidity that natural compliment food. You may find that Sauvignon Blanc intensifies tangy goat cheese, a perfectly grilled steak tames wild Tanat, or the floral gaminess of lamb play up the intense aromas of Syrah, the possibilities are endless.
Wine is Good for You
If you needed a reason to reach for a glass of wine, here it is! Research shows us that drinking 1-2 glasses of wine per day has outstanding health benefits. It offers much needed antioxidants, promotes longevity, and can protect against harmful inflammation and heart disease, among other benefits. Interestingly, red wine is likely to hold higher levels of antioxidants than white wine. Any more than 2 glasses though, and all health benefits are lost to the effect of alcohol and excess calories.
