How to Study a Wine

Studying a wine involves using several senses.

First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it.

It might help to put a piece of white paper

behind the glass so you can see the color clearly.

Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside.

This brings air into the wine, so that it releases its smell.

Last, taste the wine.

Move it around in your mouth.

You may recognize some tastes

because you've identified them while smelling the wine.
