Don’t let your lack of knowledge about wine put you off from joining a wine tasting party Not every wine tasting party is about just sip, swill and spit which you would normally associate with the typical party.

Learning to taste wine is not hard so here are a few tips to help you on your way. By knowing how to taste wine properly, you will definitely enjoy wine tasting parties more and you will also not feel and look lost in the party.

If you are served with a chilled wine, you should pick up the glass on its stem and not by the bowl. You would be surprised to know that the warmth from your had can warm up the wine if you held the glass by the bowl, this will spoil the taste of the wine even thought it is a tiny temperature change. So remember always pick the glass up by the stem and not the bowl. Using the stem is normal practice but room temperature wine can be held by the bowl instead of the stem.

The next step it to look at the color of the wine. You can do this by tipping the glass at a slight angle and looking at it with a white background. Your host should have provided a white table cloth to napkins for you to use if they know anything about wine. This doesn’t only look pretty, but it will also serve its purpose where you will be able to examine the wine.

The bouquet is also an important part of tasting the wine and refers to the smell of the wine.

To really appreciate the wine the wine should be held at at the level position. Then, swirl the wine gently inside the bowl. The idea to this act is to expose air in to the wine so that the aroma will escape the wine and become trapped in the part of the bowl which is empty. Hold the glass close to your nose and take a deep breath to capture the full aroma of the wine, remember to exhale afterwards or you might feel a little dizzy.After mixing the wine with the air inside the glass you are now to place the glass right under your nose to take a deep breath and appreciate the bouquet of the wine.}

Don’t get the idea that wine tasting is all about getting drunk, you should take small sips to capture the true flavor. Once you have taken a tiny amount of wine into your mouth your should roll it around your tongue before swallowing or spitting it our. Some people spit out their wine after tasting but it is quite acceptable to swallow after rolling the wine around your tongue.

By following these tips you will enjoy your wine tasting much better and really appreciate how good wine can be. Wine tasting parties can be fun and a great way to socialize and meet new people.
