Dont Be A Wine Tasting Douchebag

Look its not all about beer, attending wine tasting events can be a great experience and a lot of fun

. Its a great way to impress your partner, and add a little something to your life, but a lot of people chicken out due to fear because they dont know what to do or what to expect. There are no mysteries to wine tasting no matter what the wine douches want to tell you, but there are some things that you should always remember.

Etiquette

During a wine tasting event, women are always served before the men. Some tastings will serve you bottled water between tastings, so you can clean your mouth out and be ready to taste the next wine that is served. When you take the wine, you should always handle the glass by the stem, to avoid heating it with your hands. There will also be crackers and other goodies on hand as well, to help you cleanse your mouth between wine tastings.

Colour

As you may already know, you can tell quite a bit about the wine by the colour. When you attend a wine tasting for the first time, youll notice that the glasses are clear. This helps you to examine the wine better. There should also be white tablecloth on the table as well, to help you see the color the wine more clearly. You should never go by the name of the wine alone, as it can easily fool you.

Swirling

Youll also notice the more experienced wine tastes swirl their wine around in the glass before they taste it. Although it may look weird, slightly swirling the wine actually helps to bring out the flavor. Most wines have been aging in bottles for long periods of time, sometimes even years. When the wine is swirled around in the glass, the swirling will release the flavors in the wine and bring them out when the wine is tasted.

Smell it

At wine tastings, youll need to look at the wine, smell it, then after swirling it around in the glass taste it. Smells play an integral part of the process, as youll get a lot more from the wine by smelling it first. Wine has quite an intriguing aroma, which helps to bring out the taste that wine is so well known for. Once you have smelled the wine, you should allow a few moments to take in the smell and think about the wine that you are smelling.

Taste it

Last but not least, youll want to know how to properly taste the wine. Your tongue has taste buds in the front and the back, which helps to detect flavours. Wine is full of flavours, and how you taste it will make the biggest impact. When you put the wine in your mouth, you should always swish it around in your mouth for a few seconds, and allow the flavours plenty of time to dance on your palate. Once your taste buds have started to discover the wine, you can think about what you are tasting. After swallowing the wine, the aftertaste that remains in your mouth should give you even more of an idea as to the type and flavour of the wine.

So thats BLOKEWORKS wine tasting 101. You can taste wine and not look like a douche bag. Before you attend a wine tasting, you should always try to learn as much as you can about the many different flavours and varieties of wine. This way, youll have a better understanding of what you should look for in both taste and flavours. Even though you may be new to wine tasting, you should never pass up an opportunity to go. Youll get a great experience in the world of wine tasting and get to experience wines that you may have never heard of before.

You could even talk a 6 or 7 of your friend in to buying a bottle of wine each and having a wine tasting evening at home, just so you can start to understand whats the difference between good wine and wine that tastes like camel piss.
