Usually, when we are tasting wine, we will notice a lot of details of tasting wine, but sometimes we don't care much. Let's learn the correct tasting skills with you.
First, look at the color. First of all, the wine should not be too full, about a third of the red wine glass will do. When pouring wine, don't shake it first, but put it between strong light and eyes to observe the clarity of the wine. The wine should be clear, but if the cork accidentally falls into the wine when opening the bottle, or some vintage wines have some sediments, it is not a defect. Then, tilt the glass 45 degrees against the white background or white wall to observe the color of the wine. The color of white wine ranges from almost colorless light green to lemon yellow, golden yellow and then amber; The color of red wine ranges from purple-black to ruby red, brick red and brown. Generally speaking, the older the liquor, the deeper the wine. There are also shades of concentration in wine. Concentration refers to the transparency of wine. The edge color of red wine is lighter than the center color of the glass, while that of white wine is the opposite. This is ametropia caused by alcohol tension. The longer the wine age, the greater the color difference between the center and the edge of the cup, which is a way to judge the wine age. Wine also has the ability to reflect light. The newer the wine, the more shiny it is, and the older the wine, the dimmer it is. There is also an important indicator to measure the quality of wine, called hanging glass. Shake the glass gently for two or three times and observe the traces dripping from the glass wall, commonly known as "hanging the cup". The phenomenon of hanging glass is the expression of the tension between alcohol, glycerol and residual sugar in wine. The slower the wine drips, the higher and lower the alcohol and residual sugar in this wine.
