How To Taste Wine


The first thing that you want to do is look at the wine. Tilt the glass a bit so you can see how the color changes around the glass, from the center to the edges. You can hold it up to something white, like your napkin, so you can see the true color. White wines turn darker as they age, while red wines may become brownish over a period of time. The red wine might have some sediment, which is harmless, in the bottom of the glass over time also.

Next, if you swirl the wine around, it will release the aroma by allowing more oxygen into the wine and allow you to smell it better. Note how slowly the wine runs back down the side of the glass. Wines that have a higher viscosity, or are thicker, tend to have more alcohol. Now you can take a sniff of the wine by holding your nose a few inches from the glass and then let your nose go into the glass. What does it smell like?

Now you can take a sip, but don’t swallow it right away. Let it roll around in your mouth so all of your taste buds are exposed to it. You will be able to taste all of the different tastes. Take a breath in with your lips pursed. Now take another sip, but kind of slurp it so that you get some air in with it. Take note of any aftertaste when you swallow and how long it takes to go away.
