Spanish wine
The process of determining the quality of
wines is a process defined by a set of
organoleptic tests that

are determined

by three senses: sight, smell, and taste.
Wine-tasting is a very subjective activity,
so don't be surprised for the various and
different opinions expressed on the
same wine. In order to carry out the
process of tasting and testing the
Spanish

Wine,

a

minimum

of

prerequisites should be borne in mind.
So a suitable and comfortable place is needed; somewhere where the temperature
cannot affect the characteristics of the wine, as well as a good lighting that can help the
wine display its color properties and absence of undesired sediments.
When it comes to describing wine properties, taste peculiarities and other
characteristics, wine-tasters use a special vocabulary that may sound a bit bizarre but
in fact it identifies each little difference when that wine is compared with another one
that presents similar color notes and types of grapes.

How to organize a wine taste.
In the first place, it is advisable
to choose, as I said before, a
suitable and comfortable place;
a quiet and odorless place, as
strong smells (air fresheners,
cleaning

products,

cigarette

smoke, etc.) can condition our perception of smell and taste. The room temperature
should be between 18º C- 22º C (64º F-72º F) and the light in the room should be
enough to clearly see the aforementioned color notes and the presence of sediments,
although natural light is the best.
