Tasting Wine

Wine tasting does not consist in guessing a wine's vintage, district or domain. When you taste wine you pay attention to the sensations caused by wine to: your eyes, your nose and your mouth. Seeing, smelling and tasting are the activities from which all wine tasting spring. After some practice you will make educated guesses.


A Sommelier

Open the bottle in advance. Pour two ounces of the wine in a glass and place it before a clean and uncluttered white surface. If you cannot see orange notes then you may keep any other bottles and you may give the red wine some air (a carafe may be useful). Put your nose on top of the glass and smell. Watch for any corkiness. Whirl the glass and smell again. Then pour part of the wine into your mouth.

A Wine Taster

Anyone with a sense of smell and an interest in wines can become a wine taster. Only you can know how a wine strikes your senses. There are no rights or wrongs in wine appreciation and no absolutes when it comes to tasting terms, so the opinion of the novice is every bit as valuable as that of the expert. The only difference is that the expert has been allowed to gain self confidence, so they propound their theories rather more loudly than most newcomers.
