Today, many individuals hosts wine tasting parties to celebrate the wonderful beverage that is wine. More people are throwing parties like these to introduce others who haven’t experienced the flavors of good wines. However, what if you don’t know how to taste wine? Surely you wouldn’t want to be the laughing stock at the party just because you don’t know how to taste wine properly. So, here are some basics on how to taste wine.

The first step in tasting wine is by looking at the wine.

Only fill your wine glass up to half way. You need to be able to do what they call the rim test, this is where you tilt the glass to look at the color of the wine. Now, you can’t tilt a wine glass if it is full of wine, can you?

The correct way to hold the glass is with the step and not the bowl. .The heat from your hand can change the temperature of the wine so this is the reason we hold the glass by the stem even thought it might feel a little uncomfortable. Another reason is to avoid blurring the color of the wine with your fingerprints.

The next step after looking at the color is to swirl the wine around your glass. The reason we do this is to release all the flavors from the wine but to also release the aroma.

All the aromas and scents of the wine are released after you have swirled the wine, this is now the time to smell the wine. Put your nose right into the glass bowl and take a deep breath, a couple of good inhalations through the nose would do. The smell of the wine will also indicate its age or its origin. The quality of the wine may also be determined by the smell alone.

Now you are equipped for the next part, the wine tasting. Don’t just take a large mouth full and swallow, take small sips. You are only tasting the wine so tiny sips will do.

Once the wine is in your mouth you need to role it around your tongue. Remember three things when tasting your wine. The first is the first impression or what the wine tastes like when it enters your mouth, the second is the taste or the flavor of the wine when you are actually swirling the wine around your mouth and the third is the aftertaste, which is the lingering flavor after swallowing 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.
