The best way to taste red wine

There are three steps in tasting red wine: seeing, smelling and tasting;

1。 Color observation: pour the wine into a colorless glass and observe the color of the wine at eye level: a good red wine is ruby red (that is, the color of ruby). The clarity of high-quality red wine is almost transparent, and the brighter the better. The second wine or red wine with other things added is incorrect in color and poor in brightness.

2。 Wen Xiang: This is the most obvious and reliable way to judge the quality of wine. We can tell the good from the bad just by smelling it. High-quality red wine has a light aroma, which is characterized by wine aroma and aging aroma, without any unpleasant smell. In particular, it is pointed out that inferior wine has an inevitable unpleasant "bad taste" or pungent smell.

3。 Tasting: Raise the glass, put the mouth of the glass between your lips, press down your lower lip, and tilt your head slightly back. Inhale the wine into your mouth, gently stir your tongue so that the wine is evenly distributed on the surface of your tongue, then control the wine in the front of your mouth and swallow it later. Every time you taste the inhaled wine, you should drink about half a mouthful. The mouth is round, and it feels good to eat in it. The taste of wine and astringency are harmonious and balanced, and the mellow and slightly astringent feeling left in the mouth after swallowing is more lasting. The taste is extremely comfortable, especially the sweet feeling of sugar in wine, which other wines can't understand. It has pure oak aroma and the unique aroma of liqueur, which is exquisite, elegant, mellow and round.
