Sommelier Leandro D'Kessadjikian indicates 5 main mistakes when drinking wine.

1 - Avoid the white wine in winter

It&#39;s easy to associate white wine with warm, sunny days, but there&#39;s no reason to avoid it during gray days. &ldquo;Choose the ones that are full-bodied and rich, like a Chardonnay, a Pinot Gris or a Gew&uuml;rztraminer. These wines are great to combine with the more caloric dishes we eat in winter, such as fondue and various broths&rdquo;, he explains. 
&nbsp; 
2 - Match the dessert with any wine

If we combine a good wine with the sweetness of a chocolate, we will have a delicious combination. The problem is that wine can often leave chocolate with a bitter taste &ndash; and this is one of the most common mistakes.

&ldquo;To make the right choice, choose a dessert wine, which is sweeter, or eat darker chocolates, such as 70% cocoa. This will balance the flavors&rdquo;, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/leandrokessadjikian/" target="_blank">he points out</a>.

3. Forgetting to drink water while drinking wine

&ldquo;Since the alcohol contained in wine is a diuretic, drinking water during tasting compensates for the dehydration caused by alcoholic beverages even on cold days &ndash; when theoretically we drink less water&rdquo;, he says. 
&nbsp; 
4. Turn off the heated cellar only because of the cold

According to the sommelier, whoever owns a wine cellar should not turn off the device due to the low temperatures. &ldquo; With the fluctuation of the climate, the wine can lose aromas, flavors and characteristics, even losing the quality of the drink&rdquo; , he adds.

5 - Choose wine with a lower alcohol content

Nowadays, there are two styles of wine: the more classic and the more modern. &ldquo;The classics have a lower alcohol content, are more elegant, have a little more acidity. The modern ones, on the other hand, are more concentrated, with more structure, higher alcohol content&rdquo; , he points out. 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

&ldquo;The good thing about this world is that there are drinks to satisfy everyone. Therefore, it will depend more on your preference than the room temperature. Thus, the wine becomes a perfect combination for any season&rdquo;, he completes.
