How To Taste Wines
Learning how to taste wines is a straightforward adventure that will deepen your appreciation for both wines and winemakers. Look, smell and taste - start with your basic senses: from that simple beginning you will learn how to taste wines like the pros in no time!
1.Look Pour a glass of wine into a suitable wine glass. Then take a good look at the wine. What color is it? Look beyond red, white or blush. If it's a red wine, is the color maroon, purple, ruby, garnet, red or even brownish. If it's a white wine, is it clear, straw-like, golden, light green, pale yellow or brown in appearance?
2.Still Looking. Move on to the wine's opacity. Is the wine clear, cloudy, transparent or opaque? Tilt your glass a bit, give it a little swirl - look again, you are looking at color, clarity, brilliance (this sounds a bit like you're looking at diamonds) - is there sediment, bits of cork or any other floating bits? An older red wine will be more translucent than younger red wines.
3.Smell: Our sense of smell is critical in properly analyzing a glass of wine. To get a good impression of your wine's aroma, gently swirl your glass (this will enhance the wine's natural aromas) and then take a quick whiff to gain a first impression.
4.Still Smelling. Now stick your nose down into the glass and take a deep inhale through your nose. What are your second impressions? Do you smell oak, berry, flowers, vanilla or citrus? A wine's aroma is an excellent indicator of its quality and unique characteristics. Gently swirl the wine to let the aromas mix and mingle, and sniff again.
