Australian Wine tasting tips
- Bend the rim of the glass towards you to allow you to channel the aromas to your nose and smoothly swirl.
- Pour no more than an inch of wine into the glass. If you are tasting more than one bottle of wine it is best to start with the light white wines then rose and work your way through to the full-bodied reds.
- Make sure you have a glass of water, as a sip of water between each wine will preserve your taste buds.
- Observe the colour of the wine; hold your glass up to the light or on a white background. It is a common fact that white wine usually gains colour and red wine usually looses colour as it ages.
- Hold the glass by the stem and swirl it in a circular motion to smell the vapours which are released in the process.
