Champagne wine - serving, storing & flutes
Champagne is a region of France, and only wines which come from this region can properly be called "Champagne wines". The Champagne market is extremely cyclical. Normally 50% of all Champagne is sold from January through the end of November. Then, 25% is sold up until Christmas Day. A full quarter of all Champagne wine sold is sold during that final week between Christmas and New Years! Champagne wine is stored for drinking just like any other wine - at around 55F, in a dark, damp location, stored on its side to keep the cork from drying out. Champagne wine should be served at about 45 degrees. A few hours in the fridge should bring the temperature down, but never store any wine for more than a few days in the fridge. Serve your Champagne wine in tall, narrow-necked glasses, called flutes.
There are different types of Champagne wine. Brut is the driest, and the "standard". If you want to get “great" Champagne wine, then go for a Brut. Extra-dry is less dry than Brut. Sec is sweet, and Demi Sec is even sweeter.

Finest red wines with alluring flavors comes out as Cabernet wines
Cabernet Sauvignon is the name of both the grape and the wine it produces. Cabernet wine is known as one of the world's finest red wines, with its depth of complexity and richness of flavor. Other names for this grape and wine are Petit Cabernet wine, Petit Vidure and Vidure, and in Italy, Uva Francese. Cabernets wines can be mellow and mild, hearty and rich. It has a deep red color, with the primary taste being black currant. Other overtones can include blackberry and mint. Traditionally aged in oak, the wine also takes on an oaky, vanilla flavor. Higher quality cabs age extremely well (although a bit slowly), developing a sprinkling of five or six tastes within it.
Cabernet wine goes well with beef, lamb and goose, especially when cooked with herbs. It also is a great match for brie, cheddar cheese and chocolate. Riedel Cabernet Sauvignon Glass: The glass that Riedel recommends for a Cabernet Sauvignon wine has a large bowl, to provide sample surface area for the wine's aromas to be smelled. The point here is not to fill the glass full of a lot of wine - rather, it is to allow a lot of the wine to interact with the air while it is sitting on the table, to help it develop the fullest flavors for your nose and mouth.
