Today, many individuals hosts wine tasting parties to celebrate the wonderful beverage that is wine. It is a great way to taste all the different kinds of wine and a good excuse to throw a party. Yet, what if you don’t know how to taste wine?
Not knowing how to taste wine correctly can be embarrassing if you are amongst experienced tasters so here are a few tips to help.
The first thing to do is to look at the color of the wine before you take a drink.
Don’t overfill your glass with wine. You need to look at the color of the wine by doing the rim test, this is done by tilting the glass to one side. Now, you can’t tilt a wine glass if it is full of wine, can you?
You need to hold the wine glass by the stem and never by the bowl. Even though this may feel awkward at first, you need to remember that the purpose for this is to avoid altering the wine temperature with the warmth of your hands. Another reason is to avoid blurring the color of the wine with your fingerprints.
After observing the wine’s color, the next step is swirling the wine. The reason we do this is to release all the flavors from the wine but to also release the aroma.
Smelling the wine is the next step, after you have swirled the wine all the scents are released. Place the glass just under your nose and take a deep breath through your nose. The age, the quality and its origins can also be indicated by its bouquet.
Wine tasting is not about how much wine you can drink at once but about taking tiny sips and appreciating the flavors. You only need to take tiny sips to really get the full flavor of a wine, after all you are only tasting the wine.
Once the wine is in your mouth you need to role it around your tongue. There are three things that you need to remember when you taste the wine. What the wine tastes like is the first thing, the flavor of the wine after swirling it around your mouth is the second and the third is the taste after you have swallowed the wine.
These are the things that you need to remember when you taste wine. Think of these three things next time you are wine tasting and you are sure to enjoy your wine even more.
