How To Really Taste Wine
Food And Drink : Drinks There is a difference between hearing and actually listening. And of course there is a similar difference between drinking and tasting! When it comes to wine and wine appreciation, you simply have to go for taste and savour the flavour, rather than simply drink, to improve your enjoyment as much as possible. First of all ensure that you always have a fully clean glass, and have one that tapers inwards at the top - this will help with the aroma of the wine which is an essential part of tasting. Indeed the nose has as much function as the mouth when it comes to drinking wine! Thus be sure to sniff the wine first and get a good impression of it, before tasting. When tasting, try to let a few drops of wine in whilst sucking in a little air, which will help you perceive and judge the flavour of the wine.
