before serving or buying it. Carry out this tradition to determine the quality of the wine. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or out at your favorite restaurant, you taste the wine before your guests drink any. You can even tour a winery and taste the wine as they make it. Pour some wine into the glass to conduct the tasting. Serve or buy satisfactory wine.
Instructions
1. Get a clean to taste your wine. Make sure there is no residue in the glass so this wine tasting reflects just this wine.
2. Pour a small amount of wine into the glass. This should cover the bottom of a wine glass about an inch high.
3. Look at the wine. Notice the color of the wine. Different shades of red, burgundy, white and rose indicate age and flavor of the wine.
4. Swirl the wine in the wine glass. This allows air to come into the wine, releasing vapor in the glass.
5. Smell the wine. Put your nose right over the glass and breathe in. Notice how this wine smells especially in relationship to other wines you have tasted.
6. Taste the wine. Take just a sip of the wine and hold in it your mouth. Make sure to move the wine all around your mouth, especially your tongue, so all of your taste buds can taste the wine.
7. Spit the wine out if you are going to sample other wines. Swallow the wine if there is no more wine tasting. Announce to your party that the wine is fit to drink.
