Wine Folly 為葡萄酒初學者提供了 7 個喝酒基本侍酒與品飲概念 (原文在此) 今天流浪騙酒師就帶大家細細品嚐 Wine Folly 文章的名言佳字!
單字/片語解析:
- Ritual (n. ) 儀式
可以用來形容做某些事情之前,會進行的動作。例如,動土儀式,或是過完年開工儀式或發紅包。
例句:Coffee is part of my morning ritual.
- Waiter’s friend (n. ) 侍酒師刀
葡萄酒開瓶器百百款,有自動型、蝴蝶開瓶器等等。 Waiter’s friend (如上圖)是服務生常用的兩段式/三段式酒刀,常常被服務生收到制服口袋因此被稱為服務生之友。
- Foil (n.) 酒瓶上的錫箔紙封蓋
- Make out of (v.)
這片語有兩個常見用法:
1. 從中獲利
例句:The Opposition party is making a lot of advantage out of the authority’s failure to invest in national security.
2. 利用...製作
例句:The product is made out of recycled PET
- Drip (v.) 滴落/掉落
常見的冰滴咖啡就是用這個詞~
3. 開酒姿勢做好做滿
Perfect the Ritual to Open a Bottle of Wine
There are many different types of wine openers and the most popular with pros is the waiter’s friend. Most of us instantly get the logic of inserting a corkscrew into a cork and using a lever arm to hoist the cork out, however it’s the little details that bewilder us.
葡萄酒開瓶器百百款,最受好評的就是侍酒師刀。我們拿到酒刀很直覺地就是把鑽孔插進酒塞,利用槓桿原理將酒塞拔起來;但是有一些細節還是讓大家很苦惱。
Cutting the foil: top lip or bottom lip?
切上層還是下層的錫箔紙封蓋?

Wine sommeliers cut the foil at the bottom lip. This is the tradition because foils were previously made out of lead. Also, this method tends to reduce stray drips when pouring at the table.
侍酒師通常會切下層錫箔紙,因為古老時代是用鉛來製作封蓋,此做法會避免侍酒時掉下鉛的屑碎。
Foil cutters, on the other hand, are designed to cut the top of the lip. Cutting the top lip is more visually appealing and ideal for moments where the wine is on display (like at a wine tasting).
錫箔紙切割器則是用來切割上層封蓋,此做法在視覺上比較吸睛適合在品酒會上使用。
Where to poke the cork?
要從酒塞何處下手????
Poke the cork slightly off center. You want the radial diameter of the worm (the ‘worm’ is the curlycue part of a wine opener) to be centered so that it’s less likely to tear the cork.
瞄準時偏離中心一點點,盡量讓鑽孔的半徑範圍在酒塞的中央避免把酒塞開斷。
Keep the cork from breaking
顧好酒塞不要開斷!
It takes about seven turns to insert the worm into the best spot, although wine openers vary. Basically, the corkscrew should be inserted into the cork about one turn less than all the way in. Some fine wines have long corks and you can go all the way in.
每家酒刀設計不同,通常插入鑽孔後轉七下就可以了。基本上不會把整根鑽孔都插進酒塞,建議留下一小節,但有些高級酒款的酒塞比較長,可以插入整根鑽孔。
