Step 3 - Taste

1. Take a sip. Move the wine around the mouth for 10-15 seconds. While the wine is in the mouth, think about the flavors, tastes and mouthfeel sensations that you are experiencing.

2. When you have tasted and “felt” the wine, either swallowed or spit, consider how much and which aspects of the taste linger. The length and the finish or aftertaste are key indications of quality in all wine. The longer and more pleasant, the finer the wine.
