| Don'ts of wine tasting |
|
|
| |
Don't wear aftershave / perfume
- The scent of the aftershave will
interfere with the smell of the wine. No one
will ever take you seriously again if you say
that your Chardonnay shows subtle yet elegant
hints of Britney Spears - Curious!
Don't brush your teeth - The
taste of toothpaste tends to stay in your mouth
for quite some time after a brush, and will
definitely affect the taste of the wine. If you
did brush your teeth, eat a cracker biscuit and
rinse your mouth with water to try and get rid
of the toothpaste aftertaste.
Don't wear lipstick -
Ladies, this is especially important when you
are tasting sparkling wine. Believe it or not,
lipstick makes the bubbles disappear at a much
quicker rate than they normally would. Lipstick
marks also doesn't look very nice on a wine
glass, so should you insist on wearing it, make
sure it is smudge proof.
Don't eat any strong foods
like cheese, eggs, vinegar or peppermints before
or during your tasting - Strong and overpowering
foods will dull your pallet and deaden your
taste buds, which will change the taste of the
wine completely. Eating an apple is a very good
way of cleansing your pallet.
When rinsing your mouth with
water during a wine tasting, make sure that the
water is at room temperature. Water that is too
cold will numb your taste buds, and you won't be
able to taste as effectively. Water that is too
hot, might burn your mouth.
