Outstanding class! Thank you. I visited a winery yesterday and tasted 8 wines. I wish I would have viewed your video before going to the winery. Again, thanks.
She confuses me when she says most wine are dry. I think it was around the 6 minute mark of the video. She said dry basically means there is no sugar present in the wine. But we all know that wine is made by fermentation of grapes and grape is a fruit with natural sugars in it. So I dont really why she said that. Can you please explain thanks.
+Bavinh Pham well, you're right. I think what she meant when she says 'no sugar' was that you can't taste the sugar, not that there is none. do you see where I'm coming from?
That's why she used the term residual. Grapes have a sugar content as they enter the fermentation process. Yeast converts the sugar to alcohol and CO2. But the yeast doesn't necessarily consume all the sugar. Sometimes the yeast dies when the alcohol level gets high enough. Sometimes the winemaker chills the wine to stop fermentation, leaving residual sugar (RS). So there is always sugar before fermentation, but the amount of sugar remaining after fermentation can range from zero to quite a bit.
I feel like Champagne was an omitted here as the category of sparkling wine. In contrast to other sparkling wine this wine is made in the traditional method using the double fermentation and result not only in very fine bubbles but in a large range of complexity in terms of taste and aromas.
Very helpful video. Made it clear to me that the dryness (cheeks pulling together) that I don’t like so much with certain wines is actually the high tannin and not the fact that they are “dry” wines
So what I like best I guess is an off-dry, low to no acidity, full bodied wine and I actually quite enjoy medium to high amounts of tannin for a red wine! I really do enjoy sweet wines (more so than I do rosés because I actually prefer them fuller bodied) aswell. Rieslings are delicious. I also like earthy, woody, herbal and spicy notes for wines a lot aswell. Usually I prefer red, dry wines over white, dry wines because with a white wine that is dry I am always afraid that I'm going to experience it as sour before I finished the first glass because I get acidity very quickly. Like, raspberries and even strawberries unless they're very well sunriped to ultimate ripeness are already quite a bit tart to me.
Personally I only really know if I really like a wine when I've had about half a glass of it. The first sip unfortunately always tends to taste the best to me and then the rest of the glass is like an adventure, discovering wether or not a wine holds up being drunken over an extended period of time compared to when it first hit my palet. This is also different from the aftertastes one gets after having taken a sip and swallowed in the seconds or minutes after that if you don't take another sip and don't eat anything and there are no strong smells surrounding you. This is more of a... okay so the first sip of a wine hits my palette most times (unless it is a really refined, complex and layered wine) the most with all the facets and qualities of its bouquet all at once so therefor that sip tends to taste well-balanced in general to me. But then after I drink the same wine for a bit longer most aromas and flavours start to drop to the background or even into obscurity with just a few of them and its qualities or even just one flavour overpowering the more subtle flavours and aromas that were still present in the beginning... and then its the question wether or not I still like the wine like that.
Yey! This is clear and concise, thank you! I do believe that the best way is to taste as much wine as possible to better form an opinion, but now it is clearer which things to focus on when tasting wine.
I always assumed that red wines were sweet and I generally dont like them .My favorite wine is white I guess it's something else in red wine that I'm not fond of
Will your pallet develop over time? I just had my first glass of wine while watching this, and I couldn't discern almost any of these flavors. It was a cheap merlot.
It smells like a swimming pool to me. I'll never understand "wine professionals". I don't wanna sit around and talk about the "aromas" or swirl my glass for 10 minutes between every sip. I want something I can drink 12 of. You fancy pants people are weird
You remind me of my father in law, whom I love dearly. I once bought him a really nice bottle of Scotch, and he knocked it back like any plonk. Nothing wrong with that, it's just how he enjoys his whiskey. Now I still give him whiskey, but I save quite a bit of money, and we're all happy. We just have to appreciate each others' differences. I think you should enjoy the wine you like, the way you like. Cheers!
Your pronunciation and way of speech are very comfortable and clear !
This is most helpful video I have found for wine beginners. Thank you for your clarity.
This was just the introduction to wine tasting I was looking for. Great presentation, clear and informative.
Very useful for someone who is not really into wine, but has friends who love it! Thanks to this video, I'll be able to understand something now!
Outstanding class! Thank you. I visited a winery yesterday and tasted 8 wines. I wish I would have viewed your video before going to the winery. Again, thanks.
Professional presentation like in a classroom. Will save for reference. Thank you.
Very informative 🎉🎉
this is really beneficial towards wine amateurs to get their foundation right. thumbs up!

Wonderfull Presentation. Thank you so much for delivery basic wine knowledge in very easy manner .
Very good presentation.,👍👍
This is, hands down, the BEST intro to wine video out there... bar none. Thank you for this resource!
Good introduction. I wanted to know what characteristics high-quality wines had such as if they were high in acidity, dryness, tannin or full body.
You have answered the question of "body" nicely - have always wondered what they mean by saying a wine is full bodied. Thanks
Perfect explanation, easy to understand. Thanks so much!
Well-structured video, perfect for beginners.
Im chairperson for a charity wine event "Cheers!". I found a lot of good information to include in the wine class portion of the event. Thanks!
Very helpful video. Made it clear to me that the dryness (cheeks pulling together) that I don’t like so much with certain wines is actually the high tannin and not the fact that they are “dry” wines

Krusyos Voran I would start with a white wine, because the taste is normally softer and more fruity

Corey Liddil Illiterate people like you are disgrace to this world.
Gaurav Rai fuck outta here 😂
Corey Liddil thk u for childish way ok get off or learn something ok
Thats how i was until i got a wines for beginers that you can pick aromas realy easy
You remind me of my father in law, whom I love dearly. I once bought him a really nice bottle of Scotch, and he knocked it back like any plonk.
Nothing wrong with that, it's just how he enjoys his whiskey. Now I still give him whiskey, but I save quite a bit of money, and we're all happy. We just have to appreciate each others' differences.
I think you should enjoy the wine you like, the way you like. Cheers!

You keep on talking why dont u just go straight to the point
I am so sorry, but this did not hold my interest in the least.
