Take some well-deserved sips and pat yourself on the back.
Now that we’ve gotten all the serious business out of the way, bottoms up! Take some well-deserved sips and pat yourself on the back. The act of tasting wine can seem lengthy and like a hassle at first, but practice makes perfect. Keep trying to strengthen your skill and you’ll be surprised at how it becomes easier to identify aromas and tastes. If you are stumped on something, don’t beat yourself up for it – the world of wine is a truly fantastic realm of education, but it can also get frustrating (trust me, I know). There are ways that you can make tasting wine fun. You could add this into your “treat yourself” routine and practice tasting a wine once a week or host a tasting party with your friends where everyone brings a bottle. Whatever you choose to do, always remember that the process should be fun and intriguing. There’s always something new to learn – heck, I’m still learning new things every day.
