If you have ever tried wine tasting you will have found its quite easy. You don't need to be an expert and can even begin without any recognized training. Etiquette come first so always serve the ladies before the gentlemen. Water at room temperature is normally served at any good wine tasting parties. The waster is used to clean your taste buds ready for the next and most probably completely different type of wine. The water is not to be very cold as this can shock your palate which can change the taste of the wine dramatically.
Holding the wine glass by the stem and not the bowl in the palm of your hand is very important when it comes to wine tasting. One thing that people don't realize is that the palm of your hand is warm and this can warm up the wine therefore changing the taste.
Most people think that wine tasting is just a matter of rolling the wine around your mouth before you either spit it out or swallow.
The first step in tasting wine is by taking a look at its color. The glasses served should always be clean and clear in order for you take a good look at the wine. Use a white background when checking the color of the wine, this will enable you to see the true color and clarity of the wine. White wines are not always pure white, sometimes they are a shade of green, yellow and even brown. Again red isn't always a pure red, you can have lots of different shaded but older red wine tend to be a little lighter.
There is a test that can indicate the age or the flavor of the wine and that is to run the wine around the rim of your glass and look at the color. Simply tilt your glass and observe the color of the wine, if it look like a tint of brown it will be an older wine, if it is has a shade of purple then it will be a younger wine.
The next step is to smell the wine, first swirl the wine around the glass to expose the wine to the air, position the glass close to your nose and inhale deeply. The flavor of the wine is released by swirling the wine around the glass, remember the wine could have been in the bottle for many years. If you have ever done any cooking you will blend in the different flavors so mixing wine with air is no different.
