thirst. But before you choose an option, you should know how to
taste wine.
In order to do a proper wine tasting, you need to swish the wine
around your mouth. This helps get the most out of your taste
buds. Here are more tips in order to taste wine.
Look at the wine color. The more color a white wine has, the
more flavor it has and the older it is. You can approximate the
age of a red wine by titling the glass and looking at the edge
of the wine. The browner it is, the older it is.
Smell the wine by taking one deep whiff. After you do this you
want to think about the aroma.
When you taste the wine, you want to consider the first
impression, the actual taste once you swish it in your mouth,
and the after taste.
Now for the wine tasting options:
You could join a wine club. Wine clubs allow members to pay a
monthly fee in order to have a selection or two of wine
delivered to their home monthly.
The International Wine of the Month Club offers members
selections from two separate boutique vineyards along with a
newsletter. You have a choice in the type of membership you
select. You can receive two red wine selections, two white wine

Perhaps a wine club isn't up your alley. Maybe a wine cellar is.
The idea wine cellar has a temperature of 50-55 degrees
Fahrenheit. The cellar should be moderately damp because this
helps keep the corks from drying out. Ultraviolet light destroys
wine so your wine cellar should be dark. Avoid putting your wine
cellar sheds or garages because you run the risk of freezing the
wine. Similarly, avoid the attic because the heat could get too
extreme. The best place for a wine cellar would be an under
stairs cupboard.
Maybe you just have a few bottles of wine you want to store and
display. A wine rack would be your best option. Wine racks come
in large sizes to place in your cellar but there are also
Wooden Wine Rack Vs. Metal Wine RackThere is more than one kind of wine rack on the market and
choosing the right wine rack for your wine collection is no

rack that you choose will take a couple of things into
consideration such as personal taste and home décor.

generally pretty easy to put together. Not many people have too

smaller wine racks that can sit on your kitchen or dining room
table. If you really want to get creative, there are wine racks
that are also bookends!
Next you might decide that you need a technique for comparing
wines. The Exploratorium describes a technique of comparing wine
aromas that is similar to the following:
First you will need these ingredients:
A tiny piece of bell pepper, one drop of butter, half teaspoon
of fresh citrus, linalool, a teaspoon of peach juice, a teaspoon
of pineapple juice and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You take
these 7 ingredients and put each in its own wine glass with the
base wine. You cover the glass and label it with the standard.
Smell the first three wine separately. Then smell the standards
to see which terms describe which wines.
