Shaking, whether intentional or unintentional, will affect the appearance and taste of wine. Wine is a complex combination of many organic components and a constantly changing substance. Shaking will separate various components, and in severe cases, it will also lead to wine entering a "shock" state. However, you don't have to worry too much. Usually, after buying wine in the store, the bumps on the way home can't have a great impact on the wine. You just need to let the wine stand for a period of time before drinking.

1.沉淀物

1. Sediment

有时候，晃动只是让酒瓶底部的沉淀物分布到瓶中各处，这个问题更常见于红葡萄酒。如果酒的整体颜色没有变化，那么你只需等沉淀物回到酒瓶底部再倒酒即可。有时候，你会发现酒中的沉淀物过于明显，那么你可以多放置一段时间。

Sometimes, shaking just allows the sediment at the bottom of the bottle to be distributed throughout the bottle. This problem is more common in red wine. If the overall color of the wine does not change, you just need to wait until the sediment returns to the bottom of the bottle before pouring the wine. Sometimes, you will find that the sediment in the wine is too obvious, so you can keep it for a long time.

2.“休克”状态

2. "Shock" state

葡萄酒“休克”，或者叫葡萄酒“晕瓶”，这与晃动密不可分。因为沉淀物较多，陈年的葡萄酒（10年及以上）比新葡萄酒更容易受到晃动的影响。不管是在装瓶时，还是在成品运输过程中，晃动都会使底部的沉淀物升起，导致色泽透明的酒液变得浑浊，酒的风味散失。

Wine "shock", or wine "dizzy bottle", is inseparable from shaking. Because of more sediment, aged wines (10 years and above) are more susceptible to shaking than new wines. No matter when bottling or during the transportation of finished products, shaking will raise the sediment at the bottom, resulting in the turbidity of transparent liquor and the loss of liquor flavor.

3.澄清

3. Clarification

葡萄酒“休克”的状态是暂时的，通过静置可以解决这一问题。根据葡萄品种、酒瓶大小和储藏条件的不同，所需的时间也有所不同。有的酒需要3个月才能澄清，而大部分葡萄酒只需8周即可。澄清的时候，要把葡萄酒置于凉爽干燥的地方。

The "shock" state of wine is temporary, which can be solved by standing. The time required varies according to grape variety, bottle size and storage conditions. Some wines take 3 months to clarify, while most wines only take 8 weeks. When clarifying, place the wine in a cool and dry place.

4.老而脆弱

4. Old and fragile

陈年葡萄酒都很脆弱，轻微的晃动都会激起沉淀物，并导致风味物质分离。因此，陈年葡萄酒适合在家里享用，而年轻的葡萄酒则可以带出去饮用。当需要移动一瓶平放的陈年葡萄酒时，慢慢地把酒瓶直立起来，放置24小时后再行饮用。

Aged wines are very fragile. Slight shaking will arouse sediment and lead to the separation of flavor substances. Therefore, old wine is suitable for home enjoyment, while young wine can be taken out for drinking. When it is necessary to move a bottle of flat aged wine, slowly put the bottle upright and place it for 24 hours before drinking.

5.醒酒

5. Sober up

尽管老酒容易被激起沉淀物，但是醒酒可以解决这个问题。取出软木塞之后，把瓶口擦干净，用手电从瓶口照射，观察酒液内沉淀物的位置。然后，缓慢连续地将酒倒入醒酒器中，等沉淀物到达瓶肩位置时停下。葡萄酒在醒酒器中醒完之后，就可以倒入杯中饮用了。

Although old wine is easy to stir up sediment, sobering up can solve this problem. After taking out the cork, wipe the bottle mouth, irradiate from the bottle mouth with a flashlight, and observe the position of the sediment in the liquor. Then, slowly and continuously pour the wine into the soberer and stop when the sediment reaches the shoulder of the bottle. After waking up in the decanter, the wine can be poured into the glass.
