  • Learn how to talk about wine in English. There are many different kinds of red and white wines, and the ones we will touch on in this lesson are: “Riesling”, “Chardonnay”, “Sauvignon Blanc”, “Shiraz”, “Merlot”, “Malbec”, and “Cabernet Sauvignon”. I will teach you where these wines originally came from and with which foods to enjoy them. Then, we will look at wine-tasting vocabulary like “tannins”, “acidity”, “body”, “depth”, “cork”, and more. Finally, I will teach you a few commonly-used idioms including “wine and dine”, “days of wine and roses”, and “put a cork in it”. This video is jam-packed with useful vocabulary.

    Benjamin: Thank you for your excellent videos.
    The following are a few topics learned during a few wine degustation sessions many years ago (Yours truly is a teetotaler, and far from being an expert in this topic):
    01. Tannins hold an inversely proportional relation to the wine age: The "younger" the wine, the more content of tannins it will have, as a rule. (The sommelier would remark that tannins would "tie your tongue down" - because of the dry feeling provoked, as you well pointed out);
    02. The wine trace in the cup after swirling is colloquially called "the teardrop" in Spanish-speaking countries;
    03. Two other aspects of wine degustation are "the bouquet", and its gustatory equivalent, "the aftertaste". The bouquet relates to the primary, secondary and tertiary aromas in a wine (similar to the top, heart and base notes in a fragrance). The aftertaste is the lasting and lingering gustatory feeling left by the wine.
    Thank you for allowing yours truly to post these comments.

    Good job! Excellent class! I'm not a professional but I I've been studying wine for a long time, and the next couple months I'll do the FWS test... Anyway, what I really liked was the unpretentious way that you put this "complex wine world" in a simple way for the beginners. I really recomend your class! Cheers from Brazil!

    So Argentina is the only main producer

    Today's video has been interesting, as it was progressing I got hooked more, only one comment to tell you, speaking about old and new wines I think that nowadays it is essential to survive in this industry to make new wines, in countries like Spain the new ones are based in the ancient culture this mixture transfers an exceptional quality, by the way, I don't sell wines.

      As I said at the beginning of the video - this is not an area of expertise for me, the aim of the video is to give a few phrases for talking about wine which may be useful in a business or social context. Apologies for not including Italian wines in the video.

    I see there's no reference to Spanish wines. Is it because you don't know them? If so, give them a try. They are highly-ranked worldwide (among the two or three best ones). I cannot think it's done on purpose, right?

    • @engvidBenjamin

      Definitely not on purpose! Obviously Rioja for red and then sweet white wines from places like Tarragona.

      Great question. Unless the wine is of a particularly notable vintage i.e. a port from 1979 or something, then I wouldn't bother saying the year. Type of grape and place is important though.

      Hello Aoua, as I explained at the beginning of the video, this is not a promotional video to advocate wine drinking, it is to enable you to TALK about wine which may be useful in certain contexts, whether you drink wine or not. As a side note, numerous scientific studies have shown that drinking wine in moderation can benefit one's health.
