Points to be considered while Tasting a Wine

 There are a few prerequisites that can enhance your wine tasting experience:

Cleanse your palate: Before beginning your wine tasting, it is recommended that you cleanse your palate. This can be done by drinking water or eating a plain cracker to remove any residual flavors in your mouth.

Use appropriate glassware: The shape and size of the glass can affect the taste and aroma of the wine. Use a clear, stemware glass that narrows at the top to capture and concentrate the aroma.

Control the temperature: The temperature of the wine can affect its flavor and aroma. Make sure you serve the wine at the recommended temperature. Red wine is usually served at room temperature, while white wine is chilled.

Serve in the correct order: Start with lighter wines and progress to heavier ones. White wines typically come before red wines, and dry wines usually come before sweet wines.

Take notes: Taking notes on the wines you taste can help you remember which ones you liked and didn't like. Record the name, vintage, region, and any tasting notes that come to mind.

Have some food: Having food to pair with the wines can enhance the tasting experience. Choose plain, unsalted crackers or bread, cheese, and plain grilled chicken or fish, as heavy or highly spiced foods can overpower the flavors of the wine.

Limit distractions: Turn off the TV, put away your phone, and create a calm and quiet environment. This will help you focus on the wine and fully appreciate its flavors and aromas.
