The art of wine tasting

Wine-tasting in 3 steps

The art of wine-tasting is to use 3 of your senses: sight, smell and taste. Firstly, admire the colour of the wine with the violet, ruby, garnet red or brown hints. The more the wine sticks to the sides of the glass, the rounder the wine. Secondly, try to detect the scents of the wine. Finally, it's time to taste whether it is a strong wine or not, and to unearth the flavours and tannin within!
