Wine Tasting Tips

There is no better way to get to experience a variety of wine than going to a wine tasting. It’s a unique opportunity to taste wines, have an expert guide you through the tasting, give them points according to your own tastes. By the end of the evening, have a great idea of the type of wine that is your favorite.

Hors d'oeuvreWhen you are wine tasting, you taste with a group of people, sometimes strangers, making it a great opportunity to get ideas from others. Other people will have tried different bottles of wine to you previously and will be happy to share their views on which wine goes with which type of food.

Wine tastings happen regularly and they are usually held in interesting locations in such as art galleries, or museums. They often have producers of wine in attendance as well as experts, to guide you through the evening and offer advice if needed.

In addition to wine, some offer hors d’oeuvre , making for a great night out, discovering new tastes and hopefully finding a new wine to fall in love with.

Wine Taste with New Friends

Not only are wine tastings a great way to get to know a new wine, it is also a fantastic way to meet fellow wine lovers and who knows, by the end evening, you could have made a new friend or two.

Most wine tastings only last for a couple of hours. It is a good idea to make sure you donít drink too much too quickly, as you will be mixing different types of wine, and you don’t want to end up buying something you didn’t really like, or having a splitting headache in the morning.

Blind TastingWinemaker Dinners

In addition to wine tastings, some companies hold wine dinners, where you get to taste wine in conjunction with indulging in a great meal.

Wine tastings come in a couple of different formats. There is a more formal, intimate set-up, which could feature fine wines and more information on a smaller number of wines. There are the less formal setting where you walk around to wine taste a larger variety of wines, but this lacks the intimacy and the expertise of the more formal gathering.
