WINE TASTING TIPS – EVALUATING WINE BY SIGHT

Wine tasting should be a fun

experience, one where you learn about

wine and how to properly taste wine.

There are a number of elements and

steps when it comes to wine tasting.

One of those elements tastes and

surveying the wine based on sight.

THERE ARE THREE VIEWS THAT YOU WILL USE TO TASTE WINE BY SIGHT. HERE ARE THOSE THREE VIEWS.

THE SIDE VIEW IS WHEN YOU HOLD THE WINE IN THE LIGHT AND VIEW IT THROUGH

THE SIDE OF THE GLASS. THIS SHOWS YOU HOW CLEAR THE WINE IS. IF YOU NOTICE

THAT YOUR WINE IS MURKY, IT COULD MEAN A FEW THINGS. MURKY WINE IS

NORMALLY A SIGN THAT THE WINE HAS NOT BEEN FERMENTED PROPERLY OR THAT

THERE ARE CHEMICALS PRESENT. IT MAY ALSO MEAN THAT THE WINE IS UNFILTERED

HAS BEEN SHAKEN PRIOR TO POURING, WHICH LEADS TO THE VISIBILITY OF SEDIMENT.

IF YOUR WINE IS CLEAR, THAT IS A GOOD SIGN.

THE TILTED VIEW IS WHEN YOU TILT THE

GLASS SO THAT THE WINE THINGS TOWARDS

THE RIM. THIS VIEW TEACHES YOU ABOUT THE

AGE OF THE WINE. IF THE COLOR IS PALE AND

WATER NEAR THE EDGE OF THE GLASS, THE

WINE IS LIKELY BLAND. IF THE WINE IS BROWN

OR ORANGE, IT IS LIKELY PAST ITS PRIME

DRINKING DATE.

THE SWIRL IS YOUR LAST EYESIGHT WINE TASTING TEST. SWIRL YOUR WINE IN THE GLASS AND LOOK FOR “TEARS” AND “LEGS” THAT TRICKLE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE GLASS. IF YOU NOTICE EITHER IT MEANS THAT YOUR WINE HAS MORE GLYCERIN AND ALCOHOL

CONTENT. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR WINE IS RIPER, DENSE, AND FLAVORFUL.
