Tasting wine is all about engaging your senses. Here’s how to get started:

1. Look

   Hold the glass against a white background and observe the wine’s color and clarity.

   
   

2. Swirl

   Gently swirl the wine to release its aromas.

   
   

3. Smell

   Take a deep sniff and note the scents—fruity, floral, earthy, or spicy.

   
   

4. Sip

   Take a small sip and let it coat your palate. Notice the flavors and textures.

   
   

5. Savor

   Reflect on the experience—was it sweet, acidic, tannic, or balanced?

   
   

Practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to try new wines and explore!
