Hold a Wine Tasting (Continued)
Taste the wine with your nose
- Take the glass and swirl the wine around a
bit while holding it a little away from your
nose. This helps to increase the amount of scent
that is available for your nose to smell.
- Move the glass under your nose and inhale
deeply through your nose, then move it away from
your face while you think about it. This will
allow you to judge the "nose" of the wine,
without being overwhelmed by the most dominant
of the available aromas.
At this point, you may be able to smell fruit or
yeast, grass or earth in the wine. You may be able
to smell quite a lot, or not very much at all.
Again, experience will lead you to expect certain
things from the wine by what you smell in it.
