Yoga and Wine

By Dana Meltzer Zepeda

For a fresh twist on Happy Hour, try these yogic techniques for drinking wine:

1)    Hold up your glass and examine your wine. If it’s a lighter color, you can expect a lighter wine. If it’s a darker color, it will be a deeper, richer wine.
2)    Really smell the wine to see what scents it contains. Does it remind you of cherry, pepper or oak? Wine expert or novice, everybody has a memory bank of smells we instinctively remember.
3)    Finally, taste the wine. Don’t chug it like a bottle of two buck Chuck on prom night either. Instead, really let the wine roll around your tongue to reach your taste buds. Cheers!
