Now red wine is more and more widely used. Many people will drink a little red wine on various occasions. Drink red wine. I believe everyone has. But how to taste red wine, I don't think everyone knows. Now teach you four steps to taste red wine: the first step is to look, the second step is to shake, the third step is to smell, and the fourth step is to taste.

The first step is to look.

Look at the label of wine: from the label, you can see the origin, year type, and what kind of grapes are brewed. Look at the color of the wine: it depends on the color, concentration and clarity of the wine. Observe the color of wine, usually the older the red wine, the lighter the color, and the darker the younger the color; White wine, on the other hand, is darker as it gets older and paler as it gets younger. Look at the concentration of wine: the outermost circle of wine is almost transparent; The larger the area of this translucent circle, the lower the alcohol concentration of the wine. Looking down, you can also see the concentration clearly. Wine, clear and bright, shiny but not cloudy.

The second step?

Put the glass on the stage, hold the glass body or press the bottom of the glass, and shake the glass counterclockwise. The wine in the glass shakes higher and higher, and almost stops at the edge of the glass. Note that there is a thin layer of wine on the wall of the cup, which flows down slowly and brings out irregular traces. This is the so-called "wine mark" of wine. Its length is directly proportional to the alcohol concentration of the wine.

The third step is to smell

Smell the wine at rest for the first time, then shake the glass counterclockwise to promote the contact between the wine and the air, so as to release the aroma of the wine. Put the glass close to the nose before inhaling and smell the wine. Compared with the feeling of smelling it for the first time, the wine aroma is not only the fruit aroma emitted by the grapes themselves, but also the flavor produced during fermentation, and the precious, complex and rich wine flavor that the good grapes mature into.

The fourth step is to taste

Take a sip. When you sip the wine, don't swallow it in a hurry. Hold the wine in your mouth for a while, take a breath, let the wine spread to all parts of your mouth, and let the whole tongue, up and down, front and back, left and right, and the whole mouth, jaw and jaw fully contact with the wine to feel the acidity, sweetness, bitterness, astringency, lightness, thickness, balance and coordination before swallowing it.
