Here is something of your interest!!! I mean it all about wine tasting. I know you are keen to know about it. Here are some easy steps which will help you to make an informed judgment on the quality of a wine.
Step 1: To differentiate between young and old wine tilt the glass at an angle and look at the rim of the wine against a white background. If it’s purple, its young wine and if it appears red, mahogany or even brown the wine is old. The wine should be clean and bright.
Step 2: Pour a small amount of wine and swirl it around. Take a sniff, the wine should smell pleasant and clean with fruit and without any odd odors.
Step 3: Take a mouthful but not too much as you would need to swish the wine around your mouth in order for all parts of the mouth to taste the wine. After swallowing you should be able to detect if the wine is sweet or dry and has any acidity. Too much acidity will make the wine tart and too little flabby.
Tannin will make the mouth feel dry.
Weight is the general feel of the wine in the mouth.
Fruit is the overall taste of fruit in the mouth, the better the wine, the greater level of fruit.
Length is how long the flavor lingers in the mouth, the longer the better.
