IF YOU’RE looking forward to a nice cold pint this Saturday night, you might want to read this first.
According to experts there is a very specific way you should be pouring your cider, and we have definitely been doing it wrong.
The Asturian cider makers in Spain suggest that you should be pouring it from high above your head with your glass sitting at waist height.
Known as escanciado, the collision of liquid on glass that “promotes liveliness and effervescence in the beverage” according to Vine Pair.
However, it’s not something that you’ll want to attempt if you have already had a tipple.
Explaining the method, Vine Pair says: “First, with a bottle of cider at an arm’s length extended upward, the escanciador must carefully line up the opening of the bottleneck with the glass underneath.
“Then, the tilting of the bottle to release the fermented juice must be precise; if the angle is too high and thus the pour too strong, the trajectory of the stream will curve forward, resulting in spilled and wasted cider.”
So there you have it, a nicer glass of cider and your next party trick sorted!
