Chilling a Glass:The best way to chill a glass is by putting it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. If you don’t have time, you can put ice in your glass and fill it with water. Let it sit for a minute and dump the ice and water. 11. Muddling

Useful Tip: If you are afraid that the cork is going to shoot, place a bar towel over the cork when you are opening the bottle. 13. How to Open a Wine Bottle
14. Serving Wine to a Guest:When you open the bottle, present the cork to your guest and pour a little bit of wine into his/her glass. The guest will smell the cork and taste the wine. If it is to his/her satisfaction, fill the glass with wine (don’t fill the wine glass all the way). Here is a Tip: Always have a bar towel with you to wipe the bottleneck after serving and in case of an accident. 15. Carrying a Wine Glass:Always carry a wine glass by its stem. If you carry it by the bowl of the wine glass, you will change the temperature of the wine. 16. Pouring (Free Pouring)Free pouring is not a hard thing to do. You need to practice in order to master this technique. How to Free Pour
Getting More Practice:Now that you know your count for 1 oz. You need to practice but without a jigger. Get 5 empty glasses and place next to each other forming a row. Try to pour 1 oz into each glass without stopping. Start pouring into the first glass, then you move to the next one until to get to the last one. Now, measure the water of each glass to make sure that you poured 1 oz into each glass. Pouring Different Quantities:Now, you need to learn how to pour different quantities. You already know how to pour 1 oz. To pour 2 oz, all you need to do is to double your 1 oz count. If you want to pour other measurements, just modify your count to achieve the measurement desired. Pour Counts:How to Free Pour But counting to four doesn’t make it the right amount. Counting to four at the right speed is what you’re after. And the key to doing that is practice. Grab a bottle (the size of a fifth of alcohol), fill it with water, add a pour spout, and get your 1-2-3-4 cadence down to equal .5 ounces per count. A great way to practice is using wine glasses with pour lines. Pick a few up and you’ll know exactly what ounes you’re hitting during your counting. How Many Counts Is a 1 Oz Pour?
