Wine Tasting
• Tasting 1: appearance, color, aroma and
palate.
• Tasting 2: sweetness, acidity, fruit flavors,
wood, body, tannin, alcohol and overall
balance.
Eight Steps to Tasting Wine
• Check unpleasant smells
• Pour a small amount of wine into the glass (about1/4)
• Hold the glass against a white background and look at
the wine
• Check the appearance and color of the wine
• Hold the glass firmly by the stem and swirl the wine in
the bowl.
• Place your nose close to the glass and take a good sniff
• Take a mouthful of wine and roll it around in your mouth
• Taste the wine to see if your palate confirms the analysis
you have made on the nose.
