Wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine.
Wines are made up of chemical compounds which are similar or identical
to those in fruits, vegetables, and spices. The sweetness of wine is determined by the amount of residual sugar in the wine after fermentation, relative to the acidity present in the wine. Dry wine,
for example, has only a small amount of residual sugar. Inexperienced
wine drinkers often tend to mistake the taste of ripe fruit for
sweetness when, in fact, the wine in question is very dry.
Individual flavors may also be detected, due to the complex mix of organic molecules that grape juice and wine can contain. Tasters often can distinguish between flavors characteristic of a specific grape (e.g., Chianti
and sour cherry) and flavors that result from other factors in wine
making, either intentional or not. The most typical intentional flavor
elements in wine are those that are imparted by aging in oak casks;
chocolate, vanilla, or coffee almost always come from the oak and not
the grape itself. The wine experience is becoming more adaptable to individual tastes and
desires. While many of our wine glasses can accommodate a wide range of
wines, each one is designed to also be able to maximize the pleasures
of certain types of wines. So here are just a few guidelines to help
those who want to enjoy even more nuanced flavors and notes. Burgundy Wine Glass Aromatic
