Nobody has to be an expert to appreciate wine. Anyhow, a certain number of suggestions will help you to get the best out of it: Look at the wine; Smell at the wine; Taste the wine; Discuss the wine.

Look at the wine

First, we get pleasure from admiring wine in our glass: let us note the colors, how it catches the light. Passionate wine lovers judge the color of a wine by placing it in front of a white cloth to see if it is dark or pale.

Smell the wine

You must not hesitate to hip your nose deeply in a glass of wine. Of course if your neighbor is smoking or wearing a strong perfume, if your plate gives off a strong smell, it is a waste of time trying. Smelling a wine is preparing oneself to taste it really well.

Taste the wine

Always with small, careful sips. With each one you discover, through the reaction of your tongue, a new strength, a new shade of its bouquet. Take a sip of wine, pinch your lips, and make the wine travel in your mouth. Different parts of the tongue will give you different reactions: sweetness is given by the end, acidity by the sides and bitterness by the back. By making the wine travel in your mouth for a few seconds, you give your brain time to analyze the information it receives: sweet, acid, bitter.

Discuss wine

As human beings, we like to speak of things which surprise us. So after tasting the wine, everyone of us will have something to say. To have a discussion about it together with your close friends at a peaceful night. Quite enjoyable, isn’t it?

But never forget: He who makes himself drunk does not know how to drink or eat.
