Enjoying wine is all about indulging one’s basic senses. Seasoned wine connoisseurs evaluate a wine by its look, smell and, of course, taste. Learning to do this brings drinking wine to an entirely new level, and can be easily learned by almost anyone by following these steps.
1.%09Pour the wine into a suitable glass. Generally, red wines should be drank from a full, bowl shaped glass, white wines from a u-shaped glass and sparkling wines from a Flute shaped glass.
2.%09Look at the wine. Tilt the wine glass and observe the actual color of the wine. While it may be considered red, there are countless different shades such as burgundy, garnet or even slightly brown. The color of the wine can tell the taster what types of grapes may have been used to produce the wine. The wine’s opacity can determine the age of the wine as well. Typically, the more translucent the wine is, the younger it is.
3.%09Smell the wine. Swirl the glass for a good ten to twelve seconds, and then take a quick smell to form a first impression. Next, take a longer whiff, preferably with one’s nose inside the glass, and take note of different smells, such as oak or even vanilla.
4.%09Taste the wine. Wine is best tasted slowly at first, with a small sip being allowed to rest in the mouth. The initial taste of the wine can determine tannin levels, acidity and alcohol content. Subsequent sips can determine separate flavors used to enhance the wine, such as cloves, tropical fruits or the type of wood the wine was aged in.
5.%09The final step to wine tasting is to observe how the flavor of the wine lingers in the mouth after tasting is complete. The flavor of a light-bodied wine will not last long, while the flavor of a full-bodied wine can linger for a few minutes.
Learning to properly taste wine is simple and enjoyable, as well as helpful in teaching a novice wine enthusiast what types of wine they prefer. The trick is to focus on the senses and take pleasure in every sniff and sip.

Yes, wine can freeze. When wine freezes, the water content in the wine turns into ice crystals, which can affect the taste and quality of the wine. Freezing can cause the wine to lose its flavor and aroma, as well as potentially altering its texture and overall quality.
