WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING A WINE MASTERCLASS IN LONDON ?
The smell of a wine gives many clues as to the grape variety, its origin, age and wine making influences. In fact one Australian wine judge believes that you can tell 90% of the influences upon a wine simply through its aroma.
The palate will also yield up various flavours but more importantly will give you the “taste” or structure of the wine. The combination of these elements will allow the taster to assess the quality of the wine.The quality of an individual wine can be a contentious issue with one taster believing a wine to be of great class and distinction whilst another thinking that the wine is poor.
This can arise due to cultural differences in what is expected of the wine or personal taste. The aim of the systematic approach is to assess quality components such a depth of flavour, complexity, balance, elegance, length and integration so as to arrive at an objective decision as to the wine’s quality.
As you work your way through the Wine Tasting masterclasses in London, you will find wines that you like and probably be surprised by some. Whatever your likes and dislikes you will have a grasp of why some wines appeal and others do not and enjoy your wines all the more.
10 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT AT YOUR NEXT WINE TASTING
1: Taste against a white table cloth or white surface so you can see the colour of the wine properly
2: Natural light is best
3: Try to avoid drinking coffee or other strong tasting drinks/food just before your tasting
4: Have a light meal before, but don’t eat too much as your taste buds will be sluggish after a big meal
5: Start tasting the lighter white wines first, then move on to the heavier whites, then reds and sweet wines or port last.
6: Cleanse your palate with water biscuits between wines
7: Don’t over taste each wine, as you will tire out your palate.
8: Make sure you swirl the wine around in your mouth, so as to cover all your taste buds.
9: Make some useful notes, otherwise you will not remember much later.
10: Always drink the best wine you can afford! As they say, life is too short to drink bad wine!
