1. Observe the wine bottle
Look at the bottle to see if the label printing is clear, if it is blurred, it is very likely to be a counterfeit product. Secondly, look at the cap of the bottle to see if there are any abnormalities, there is no trace of being opened or destroyed, unopened wine if the cork is raised or the mouth of the bottle has mucus, indicating that there are problems with the quality of the wine. In addition, if the icon of a woman's head is printed on the lead seal of the bottle, it proves that it is an authentic original wine after the French tax is paid.
2. Observe the wine body
Observe whether the color of the wine is normal or not. Usually, the color of the wine is ruby red, light gold or rosé and other clear and natural colors, and the wine body will be cloudy after deterioration, and if the color is not natural, it may have been blended. Another look at the wine body whether there is an unknown suspension, if the bottom of the bottle just a little precipitation, then this is the normal crystallization.
3, look at the cork logo
Open the bottle and see if the text on the cork is the same as the text on the bottle label. In France, wine bottles and corks are specialized. Now more and more countries are gradually changing the wooden corks to rubber wine corks for environmental reasons, and there are also screw cap designs, which have nothing to do with the quality of the red wine itself.
4, smell
Usually, before tasting red wine, we will smell the aroma of wine. The same applies when choosing red wine, smell its odor. Usually when you open a bottle of red wine, the aroma of the wine will come out, and sometimes it will be a rich fruity or floral aroma. If you smell a choking nail polish-like odor, or acetic acid, the wine has gone bad.
5. Observe the hanging cup of red wine
Pour red wine into a wine glass and shake it gently to see if the wine has a hanging cup. If the wine does not hang in the glass, it may have been blended. Normal red wine will hang on the wall of the glass in an even circle, very detailed.
6, tasting wine
Not personally tasted, and how to know the merits of the wine. The first sip of wine, when the liquid passes through the throat, normal red wine gives a smooth feeling. If there is a strong sensation of irritation, or if the odor remaining in the mouth has a chemical or foul smell, it means that the wine is inferior
