Why does the same wine taste better today than yesterday?

The taste of wine depends not only on the bottle itself. Temperature, food, the shape of the glass, your mood, and even the surroundings can all influence how you perceive it.

Wine that is too cold may seem more closed, while food can accentuate acidity or soften tannins. The right glass helps bring out the aromas. That’s why the same wine can genuinely feel different from one day to another.
