If you're new to the world of wine, you may find yourself wondering what wine tasting is all about. This method of evaluating the quality of wine is popular with wine connoisseurs and industry experts, as well as regular consumers.

1. Wine Tasting
Tips For
Beginners
Bottles stored in an upright fashion bear a high risk of
damage, with time the cork starts drying out, shrinks and
gives way to external air that spoils the wine. That’s why all
wine cellars have arrangements to store bottles in a
horizontal position.
Keep Wine Horizontally
It helps prevent spills and keeps the bottle clean for further
use. A common technique followed by sommeliers across the
globe.
Always Wipe The Bottle’s
Mouth After Pouring
One of the most useful tips mentioned under what to
know about wine for beginners by experts is that while
opening unopened bottles with a corkscrew, it is the
corkscrew that needs to be rotated and not the bottle.
Turn The Opener Instead
Of The Bottle
Always check the glass for detergent smells, spots, and dust
from the cabinet before serving wine in it.
Polish The Wine Glasses
The wine is smelled before tasting because our sense of
smell is far sharper than our sense of taste. Even when
we are drinking or chewing something in our mouth,
much of its perception comes from our nose rather than
our taste buds.
