Beginning Wine Tasting
Introduction
Wine is much more than just a drink; it deserves thoughtful appreciation. Surprisingly, no universally accepted wine tasting procedure exists, as most enthusiasts follow their personalized approach. While these techniques might be commonplace in vineyards, they can seem odd at a dining table. Much like music preferences, wine tasting varies widely. Critical wine tasting involves comparing a wine to established standards, whereas enjoying wine with a meal is typically more casual. Despite their eccentricities, professional wine tasters exhibit remarkable skill and concentration, which can seem complex yet rewarding to learn.
Getting Started
For beginners, it's helpful to cleanse your palate before tasting wine, though this isn't always practical at a dinner party. This practice enhances your ability to discern the wine’s fundamental characteristics. Seasoned tasters often skip this step, although some argue that rinsing with water can affect palate sensitivity. During a lengthy tasting, however, rinsing can help rejuvenate your mouth.
The Right Glassware
Use tulip-shaped glasses for most wines, reserving fluted glasses for sparkling varieties to enhance their natural effervescence. If you're short on the right glassware for a gathering, consider borrowing from a friend. When comparing wines, fill each glass to about one-third; this enables you to tilt the glass and observe the wine’s color and clarity. It also allows for effective swirling, which releases the wine’s aromas. Just remember that at social events, there may be guests more knowledgeable than you, so engage with everyone respectfully.
By embracing these foundational steps, you can begin to appreciate wine more deeply and enjoy the rich experience it offers.
