How to Study a WineStudying a wine involves using several senses.First, pour the wine into a glass and look at it.It might help to put a piece of white paper behind the glass so you can see the color clearly.Color can tell a lot about the kind of grapes,where the wine is from and its age.The color of red wine can be purplish red to brick red.Red wines often become paler with age.Red wines grown in warmer climates often have deeper color than those grown in cooler climates.Next, turn the glass so that the wine moves around inside.This brings air into the wine, so that it releases its smell.A wine's smell is actually more telling than its taste.Last, taste the wine.Move it around in your mouth.You may recognize some tastes because you've identified them while smelling the wine.
