How Do You Be A Wine Taster?
Wine tasting is the methodology of assessing the quality and craftsmanship of wine. Its formal practice was established in the 14th century and includes four stages that are best understood as observation of appearance, in-glass assessment of color and aroma, sensations in your mouth and the finish. Know the basics of tasting wine before taking steps to be a real wine taster. Choose an appropriate wine glass. At the very least, the glass needs to be plain and clear. Most wine drinkers agree that different types of wine require different types of glasses. Preferred glasses for champagne and sparkling wines are flutes. Ideal red wine glasses have large bowls. Model white wine glasses are similar to red wine glasses but with a smaller bowl. Pour between 1/4 and 2 ounces of wine into the glass. Observe the color and hue. Study the wine’s opacity. Older red wines are more translucent than younger red wines. Tilt your glass and swirl it. Pay close attention to color, brilliance and clarity.
