Now more and more types of wine available in the market to emerge, consumers at large, this is undoubtedly a very enjoying life in the business. In the major supermarkets or retail stores can buy wine for your wine needs. But you through the pen and paper down the wine you tasted it?

Here, I use wine as an example to highlight how like to go wine tasting, words that you need to do tasting notes record which points.

First observation, we have to observe the color of wine in the cup, observe it clear, if we find wine is cloudy it indicates the quality of wine has gone bad. Then according to White; red; rose wine color to be properly recorded. Because we know the color of the wine grape variety and year based to impact. We can use white wine pears white, gold, amber to describe; rose wine, then you can use pink, orange-red to describe; red wine can be purple, ruby red, garnet red and brown to describe.

The second step is to smell wine, wine is also highlighted one of the characteristics of grape varieties, each grape variety through its own unique flavor will make you slowly discover the difference between liquor and wine. Wine flavor broadly divided into five categories: fruity; blossom; spices; vegetables; oak. Not all wines will be included in the aroma, fragrance, when in identifying these needs with your memory to recall that you feel familiar with the taste of wine and then painted right out.

The third step is to taste, our tongue can only taste out of our 4 flavors, they are "sour, sweet, bitter, salty." Sweet tongue is more sensitive; the middle of the tongue is salty sensitive; the base of the tongue is more sensitive to bitterness, which is why we are going to be the use of liquid medication to directly through the base of the tongue to avoid bitterness; the whole both sides of the tongue is more sensitive to acidity. Then there is the wine which in the end few things we need to try out? 6 generally have the following: sugar; wine; acidity; tannins (most in red wine); taste and aftertaste.

Wine is a thing to engage with the taste buds, will sip liquor into a small hole placed in front of mouth, through the tongue and mouth to warm liquor, fragrance slowly to escape.

Wine, on the mouth to mouth and throat may feel warm to be called the "full" in liquor; the other hand is referred to as "light" wine.

Sugar, red wine, feel the article from the Chinese sweet wine net less than what is called "dry" wine, that is what we often see and hear in the market, "Dry Red Dry White," meaning dry; taste to the sweet touch of Italy, can be called "semi-dry type"; tasted the sweetness of obvious, it can be called "sweet."

Acidity of different grape varieties, wine brewed acidity are not the same. Through full access to liquor on both sides of the tongue, feeling the wine acidity. From mild to moderate intensity divided. Mild as apple, moderate, like oranges, and a high degree of like eating the same lemon.

Tannin, where we need to introduce what is tannin? Single-Ning Youyi on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

Contains a substance called tannin Procyanidols, not only has a protective effect of human blood vessels, and can protect the arterial wall to prevent atherosclerosis, the protective cardiovascular effect. And it is mainly in grape skin and seeds, there is, because the different brewing process, the highest content of tannins in red wine, white wine in little. Tannic astringency in the mouth will produce a rather astringent taste of red wine constitute the main elements of the structure. Sommelier see this as the skeleton of red wine, also from the mild to moderate intensity divided.

Taste: It is broadly divided into 5 categories: fruity; blossom; spices; vegetables; oak. These flavors are based on the end product is a life to the taste of the material to be classified as described under. This is also the cumulative and need a long memory to store these good taste. Sometimes encounter such problems, some very familiar taste, but just can not describe the exact material. Good wine slowly in the mouth was found in a wide range of tastes. However, some general wine is not some other flavor highlights.

Aftertaste: that is that we will swallow or spit the wine, the mouth feel and will not disappear immediately. Because in the mouth, pharynx, nasal cavity was also filled with wine and steam, there are a lot of sense and taste continue to exist, they are gradually reduced and finally disappear, this is the finish. The length of finish and comfort, because wine varies.

All of the above is what you need to record in wine measure, take out your notebook and pen to record every step of the discovery of wine, write down the wine name, year and the date you enjoy this bottle of wine. Such a system full of tasting notes is complete.
