How much do you know about wine tasting ?
Wine tasting : a brief history
Wine tasting (often, in wine circles, simply tasting) is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine.While the practice of wine tasting is as ancient as its production, a more formalized methodology has slowly become established from the 14th century onwards.
Professional and recreational wine tasting
Modern, professional wine tasters use a constantly-evolving formal terminology which is used to describe the range of perceived flavors, aromas and general characteristics of a wine.More informal, recreational wine tasting may use similar terminology, usually involving a much less analytical process for a more general, personal appreciation.
Blind wine tasting
To ensure impartial judgment of a wine, it should be served blind — that is, without the taster(s) having seen the label or bottle shape.Blind wine tasting may also involve serving the wine from a black wine glass to mask the color of the wine.
