First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it. It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the glass so you can see the color clearly. Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes, where the wine is from and its age. A white wine might be almost colorless. White wines go darker with age. White wines made from grapes grown in a cool climate are often paler, with a higher amount of acid. White wines from grapes grown in a warmer climate are often yellower, with less acid. The color of red wines can be purplish red to brick red.
Red wines often become paler with age.
Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper color than those grown in cooler climates.
Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside. This brings air into the wine, so that it gives off its smell. Smell the wine deeply. A wine's smell is actually telling more than its taste. To use a wine term, what can you learn about the wine from its “nose”? Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak(橡树)? Do you smell grass or maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral.
Now it is time to taste the wine. Move it around in your mouth. You may recognize some tastes because you identified them while smelling the wine.
You can also consider the wine's sweetness and its acidity(酸性). You may note the taste of tannin. Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes. Tannins taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth. To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity, tannin and alcohol.
