How to Sample Wine Like A Pro
- See: Observe the wine’s color—from it, you can deduce body, age and character. For example, as they age, white wines get deeper in color, while red wines get paler and more brick in color.
- Swirl: Swirl the wine in your glass to aerate it and release its aromas.
- Sniff: Try to pin-point if your wine is fruity, floral, spicy, etc. Does it remind you of any specific smell? Try to name it.
- Sip: The moment you’ve been waiting for: swish the wine around your tongue & teeth and note the taste. You can detect acidity, residual sugar, tannin and body from a single sip!
