How to be a better wine taster? 🍷

Wine tasting is about appreciating wine in all its glory. Wine experts use the 5S method to taste wine- see, swirl, sniff, sip and savour.
Here are some tips to help you be a better wine taster

1️⃣ Don't smoke, drink tea or coffee or eat anything with strong flavours before the wine-tasting session
2️⃣ Don't wear an overpowering perfume to the tasting
3️⃣ Stay well hydrated and always drink some water between a few sips of wine
4️⃣ Don't just focus on the aromas, pay attention to the texture, mouthfeel and structure of your wine too

An important aspect of wine tasting is spitting, but a lot of new tasters, think it is unnecessary and over-the-top. But most wine experts advocate spitting wine during tasting as it keeps them from getting drunk. However, this doesn't mean that you must only take one sip of wine. You can go in for a second or third sip too, till you are satisfied with your observations. Just remember to spit and hydrate.
