Tasting step

1. Just when the wine is still in the cup, put your nose into the cup, and the aroma you smell is more elegant and light, which is the most dispersed part of the wine.

2. Hold the glass column by hand and shake the glass clockwise to make the wine rotate around the glass and hang it on the glass wall. At this time, most of the aromatic substances in wine will volatilize. The second smell after shaking is stopped. At this time, the smell is fuller, richer and stronger, which can truly and accurately reflect the internal quality of wine.

3. Take a sip, let the wine mix with the air, and touch all parts of the mouth with half mouthwash. At this time, tannin, sweetness, acidity, roundness and maturity can be summarized and analyzed.

4. Good wine needs the appreciation of bosom friends. If you want to fully understand and appreciate her, sometimes you have to give up some. This is the last step in the appreciation process: vomiting. When the wine fully contacts the taste buds in the mouth, the tongue will feel her sweet and sour taste, and then spit out the wine. At this time, you should feel the aftertaste of wine in your mouth and tongue. This is a good Spanish wine because it has a long and rich aftertaste.
