Aroma analysis is an essential part of wine tasting. When analyzing the aroma of wine, the following steps are usually needed: pour 1/3 volume of wine into a glass for the first time and analyze the aroma of wine at rest. Breathe in the air in the glass slowly when you smell the fragrance. In the meantime, it should be noted that when lifting the glass, you should try to avoid shaking, and your nostrils should be close to the liquid level to smell the fragrance. The first time I smelled the fragrance, it was very light, because I only smelled the most diffuse part of the fragrance. Therefore, the results of the first smell can not be used as the main basis for evaluating the aroma of wine.
After the first smell, shake the wine glass to make the wine move in a circular motion to promote the release of volatile substances of the second smell. The second aroma includes two stages: the first stage is to smell the aroma immediately after the "disk" with static liquid level is destroyed. This shaking can improve the contact surface between wine and air, thus promoting the release of aroma substances. The second stage is to shake and smell the aroma. The circular motion of the wine makes the inner wall of the wine glass wet, and makes its upper part full of volatile substances, making its aroma the strongest and most elegant.
Good wine is not only balanced in taste, but also pleasant in aroma, rich and rare, with both personality and style. In the process of smelling the aroma for the second time, we also need to pay attention to the concentration of wine aroma. If the aroma is rich and complete, it means that the wine is mellow; On the other hand, if the aroma is light, or there is no aroma, it is light, tasteless and light.
Tasting wine: For most people, tasting wine means taking a sip of wine and then swallowing it quickly, but in fact it is not called tasting wine. Wine tasting is related to the taste buds of the tongue. Taste buds are all around the mouth, on both sides of the tongue, on the back of the tongue, on the tip of the tongue, and all the way to the bottom of the larynx. If you drink like most people, you will ignore all those important taste buds. There is a proverb in the wine industry: "Buy wine with apples; It's cool to sell wine with milk. Apples will show defects in wine, while cheese tends to soften the smell of wine and leave a more pleasant taste. What should I think of when tasting wine? Pay attention to the most important taste sensations and their positions on the tongue. You can only feel four flavors-sweet, sour, bitter and salty-but you can smell more than 200 different smells.
