Tasting wine can seem like a daunting task if you don’t feel confident with the process. However, you don’t need an encyclopedic knowledge of wine to participate in and enjoy a tasting. By learning a few basic techniques, you will feel right at home when tasting wine.
Our Wine Development Manager, Matthieu Longuere MS, created this video in order to demystify wine-tasting with his no-nonsense approach. By following these simple guidelines, you’ll feel confident tasting wines whether it’s in a restaurant or at a wine tasting.
Remember, the most important thing when attending a wine tasting is for you to enjoy it, so don’t overthink what you are doing. No one is testing you!
