2. Smell its fragrance-gently shake the glass to release the fragrance and smell its fragrance. ?
3. Taste-take a sip, let the wine dissolve on the tip of the tongue, and feel its taste and sweetness. ?
Let's talk about the five basic steps of wine tasting: color, shake, smell, taste and aftertaste. ?
(1) color. Depending on the color of the wine, it is best to have a white background and put the glass in front. Of course, the color range depends on whether you taste white wine or red wine. The following are the colors of two wines: white wine has light yellow green, grass yellow, golden yellow, golden yellow, dark gold, madeira wine color and brown; Red wine includes purple, ruby, medicinal brick red, reddish brown and brown. Color will tell you a lot about wine, such as white wine. When they get old, the color will deepen. On the contrary, red wine will lose its color. ?
(2) shaking. Why did you shake the wine? In order to let oxygen into the wine. I'm not sure if you're right, but I can tell you directly: shaking will release esters, ethers and acetaldehyde, and oxygen will make the wine fragrant. ?
(3) smell the wine. What does the wine smell like now that it has been shaken to release the aroma? It has the form of nose, and "nose" is a word commonly used by wine tasters to describe the comprehensive smell of wine. Accurately pointing out the meaning of wine nose is to enable you to identify some characteristics of wine. ?
(4) tasting. For most people, tasting wine means taking a sip of wine and then swallowing it quickly. But this is not a wine tasting. Tasting wine is a matter related to taste buds. Remember that it is around your mouth; Both sides of the tongue, behind the tongue, the tip of the tongue, extend to the bottom of the throat. If you drink wine like most people, you will ignore all the important taste buds. ?
There is an old honesty in the wine industry: "Buy apples as wine and sell cheese as wine". Apples will show defects in wine, while cheese will tend to soften the smell of wine and leave you with a more pleasant taste.
Step 1: Does the wine taste astringent after being chilled?
Traditionally, the temperature of drinking red wine is cool room temperature, 18 to 2 1 Celsius. At this temperature, all kinds of red wine are at their best. A bottle of chilled red wine has more obvious tannins than red wine at room temperature, so it tastes very astringent. ?
Step 2: Is the sober red wine fragrant enough after being fully oxidized?
A good bottle of wine usually stays dusty for years. It smells when it is first opened. At this time, the wine will be "awakened". After pouring the wine into a beautiful decanter, the smell of the wine will dissipate. Decanters usually require that the contact surface between wine and air be maximized. After red wine is fully oxidized, its rich aroma will be revealed. ?
Step 3: Watch the wine. Is the wine edge brown?
Red wine is red enough to stir people's hearts. When pouring red wine, the basic requirement is that the glass is placed horizontally and the wine does not overflow. In the case of sufficient light, put the red wine glass horizontally on the white paper, and you can judge the year of the wine by observing the edge of the red wine. The layers are mostly new wines, and the colors are a little old. If they are slightly brown, they may encounter a bottle of old wine. ?
Step 4: drink and let the wine stay in your mouth for a while?
Take a deep smell in the glass before entering the wine. At this time, you can appreciate the fragrance of red wine, then swallow a mouthful of red wine, let the red wine stay in your mouth for a minute, roll it on your tongue twice, let your senses fully experience the red wine, and finally swallow it all. A faint fragrance suddenly lingered among them. ?
Step 5: wine order: try new wine first and then old wine? In order to achieve a comparative effect, wine tasting will generally taste more than two or three pieces of red wine. When drinking, we should follow the principle of new before old, light before strong. First of all, a good red wine looks like the lighter the color, the better. This is the opposite of white wine. There must be no sediment in it. Most of the sediment is grape skin, which is not good. Secondly, good red wine will shake slowly after entering the cup, and there will be a little red wine on the wall of the cup, which is called hanging the cup. Thirdly, red wine needs to be shaken slowly in front of the nose in a special arc-shaped cup, and the aroma will go up with the glass wall and slowly enter the nose. The red wine has been tasted by this time.
Fourth, use the tip of the tongue first after the red wine is imported. The good news is that acid is sweet and not so bitter.
5. Squeeze the red wine to both sides of the mouth with your tongue and taste it with your tongue. At this time, the taste of wine can be more revealed. After a few mouthfuls, slowly lower your throat. If students drink draft beer, it is a sin, a sin! ?
When a bottle of wine is put in the refrigerator, the temperature of the wine will drop after 1 hour 10? C, as long as the general red wine is put into the refrigerator 1 hour, the wine temperature will drop to 20? C. If you forget how long the red wine has been in the refrigerator, don't worry. Just take it out, open it and pour it into the cup. In about 30 minutes, the temperature of red wine will be 20? C, which is what we call "room temperature". ?
It is enough to put the liquor in the refrigerator for 2 hours or in a bucket filled with ice water for 20 minutes.
