Wine Tasting Course: Visual Analysis



Wine is synonymous with piće.Degustacija for weighting and measuring, and stimulate almost every sense, sight, smell, taste and touch. In fact, wine tasting it is analyzed. Look especially the eyes (color), nose (smell) and mouth (taste and texture). During the wine tasting and things will be taught.

wine and is pleased to recognize the odor, taste, identify, recognize the style of wine, sometimes its vintage or provenance. As a result, the wine becomes a trip to his memory, time and history.

more careful you are, slowly and carefully taste of wine, the more you discover interesting facts and it will get. When it comes to tasting wine, it's a matter of practice, experiences and memories.

In this article you will read about the first stage of the wine known as a visual analysis. Visual analysis provides information about the color, brightness, clarity, intensity (called the mantle of wine). In addition, information on age, winemaker, wine storage, and alcohol.

Visual analysis of wine has 4 main stages, and appreciation of the clarity, brightness, color and viscosity.

Clarity: You only need to observe a glass of wine or a white background (table cloth, paper, a mile or white) or with a light source behind the wine. When the wine is cloudy may indicate a lack of wine, but little sign that the wine is simply not filtered. In the first case, the wine is faulty and must be returned. In the latter case, usually a note on the label against the bottle of wine and mentioned, although a little blurry, it was perfectly edible and can be even higher.

Shine: In wine tasting, lightness, the brightness of wine, easy to reflect light, shining like gems. We appreciate these qualities in looking at the surface of a glass of wine, making sure to have a white background (table cloth or sheet of paper). With modern techniques of wine production, most wines are brilliant.

color: Here you will analyze the intensity, the overall tone and color the edge (a small area and met with a wine glass). To enjoy the color, tilt the glass (half full only) back and judge wine by placing it on a white background. Note that if her dress is a dark or light, try to assign boju.Intenzitet color is due to its rich color pigments and must be qualified by the type of wine, because you can not expect the same color intensity of Burgundy of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

color is the key considerations that can be seen on the edge of the disc. As far as color edge, it is a source of information on the development of wine because it is part of the color components are visible. Thus, a young red wine is a purple skirt and older red wine shows a fringe, and even orange garnet.

Viscosity: The viscosity of the assessment, you must observe the wine that flows from the bottle and perseverance on the walls of glass. When the wine glides down the wall of glass, this species has been seen backstage called legs or tears. They illustrate the fat of wine due to the high concentration of glycerol, and in particular its alcohol content, which tends to change the surface tension of the liquid and thus trigger the tears on the walls of glass.
