I’m sorry to have misled you, drinking a wine at the wrong temperature is not life endangering whatsoever. But now that I’ve got your attention, I do want to make a point. Imagine you’re flying a little airplane on your own. You’re flying across a huge ocean and there’s no land to be seen. Suddenly your plane malfunctions and you crash in the ocean. Spoiler alert: you’re going to die.
Our second ‘vision’-interview is with Raimonds Tomsons, president of the Latvian Sommelier Association (2010-2014) and member of the board of the same association since 2015. He won several international awards, including ‘Best Sommelier of the Baltics’ in 2015 and ‘A.S.I. Best Sommelier of Europe and Africa’ in 2017.
Top Sommelier Wim De Schutter demonstrated to us how a good but not really expensive wine changes in taste with every single degree: He clearly shows that there is something like the “perfect serving temperature”, and this for ALL wines, be it great volume or the top of the bill ones.
