品葡萄酒的12个常见问题，你知道多少

不对。所有的葡萄酒里都有亚硫酸盐(这是葡萄酒制造过程中自然产生的副产品)，而且在全球范围，绝大多数葡萄酒都添加亚硫酸盐作为防腐剂。只有美国在很多年前就要求酒瓶上标注关于亚硫酸盐的警示，而欧洲在近期才开始这么做。

11、 I'm going to a wine region; what wineries should I visit?我要去一个葡萄酒产区，应该去哪些酒庄呢?

Whether you are going to Napa, Piedmont or Châteauneuf-du-Pape, our advice is the same: Drop into the little places you've never heard of. You are more likely to meet the actual owners or winemakers and have a better time. Not only that, but these are the wines you could never buy at home, so here's your chance.

不管你去Napa、Piedmont还是Ch teauneuf du Pape，我们的建议都是一样的：去你从没听说过的小地方。这样的话，你更有可能遇到真正的酒庄主人或葡萄酒生产者，度过更加愉快的时光。此外，你还能在那里买到在家根本买不到的葡萄酒，真是一个难得的好机会。

12、 When will this wine be at its peak?酒的价值在什么时候是最高的?

First, remember that most wines are made to drink when they are released. In terms of fine, ageable wines, there are all sorts of online sources that will give you a ballpark idea of theoretical peak readiness. But every bottle is different and there are many variables, such as storage conditions and personal taste. Open a special bottle when the moment seems right to you. If you have an old bottle like those old Lafites, make a special meal, open the bottles and celebrate the memories. If you simply can't stand to do that alone, remember that Open That Bottle Night is the last Saturday of February. That's when you can join others like you, world-wide, in opening their special bottles.
