Special Tips and Tricks For Wine Tastingby Roger GordonPart of the process of wine tasting is actually looking at the wine itself. Wine tasting is a total experience, that includes much beyond the actual taste of the liquid in your wine glass. There is much you will learn about a wine just from looking at it. Always drink your wine in a clear glass. To see the true colour in it, peer at the glass, against a white background. What do you see? The colour of the wine is an important factor in the taste of the wine. One thing you will notice is that not all red wines have the same red colour. And not all white wines are actually white. This range of colour is part of the knowledge base you are after. A typical rule of thumb is that with red wine, the longer a product ages and the more entrancing flavour that it actually possess, the more colour variables it has. In white wine,though, too much colour or darkening is not a good thing. White wine can be diminished or tarnished in flavour by the aging process. On the other hands, red wines typically improve with age in flavour. As red wines age, their colour actually lightens, unlike white wines which usually darken with age. The lighter the colour, the older a red wine is. To discern a red wine's age by its colour, you must tip the glass slightly to one side to make the edge of the glass clearly visible. This is known as the rim colour. If the colour has a purple tint this denotes the wine is of a younger age. An orange or brown tint conversely would suggest a more mature wine. You should also aim to, swirl the wine, which enables you to view the body of the wine. A thicker consistency would indicate greater alcohol content and a sweeter flavour. Over time and many different bottles of the same type of wine, red or white, you will learn the subtle differences of color and how it reflects with the age, texture and taste of each wine. This This is one of many challenges in skill that keeps wine lovers enthralled with wine. Smelling your wine is just as important as tasting it.The smell of the wine can be a strong determinant as to weather or not you will enjoy it. It is often the case that someone will take a quick sniff of the wine. This is not the correct approach to get the full message of the wine's bouquet. In wine tasting circles, you'll hear the aroma referred to as the nose or the bouquet of the wine. You may hear numerous themes of bouquets referred to, but the majority of catagories are found in the following list: Floral, spices, wood, fruit, herbs, or earthy. These varying aromas, singly or combined, indicate their own distinctive tastes. (And, perhaps, it is the myriad scents that wine can create the makes It a favorite beverage of my dog... Just kidding, but a developed nose for wine is a great tool for wine tasting.) To smell wine correctly, firstly give the glass a swirl. This will help to release the wine molecules prior to taking a quick sniff. Now its time to take a deep inhale of the aroma. Now you should be able to smell the difference. Quickly ask yourself which one of the different bouquets comes to mind? Now you are ready to take a sip of wine and spread it over your tongue. Savor the taste and associate it in your mind with the color of the wine and its aroma. Make notes of what you discover and over time you will become an expert wine taster!
