Wine Online - How to Learn About Wine Online
You can learn a lot about wine online. The internet is a great resource to utilize before going into an
actual wine store and making a purchase, as well as a wine tasting event. This is particularly true if
you aren't familiar with proper wine tasting etiquette or don't understand the wine ratings.
Wine ratings can get kind of tricky, as each publication has their own ratings scale that they go off of.
Generally speaking, though, any wine that is rated below 60 (on a scale of 100, which all publications
use) is considered undrinkable.
Wines rated between 60-69 are considered below average, the 70-79 group is just average. However,
there are plenty of wines rated 80 and above that are as affordable as they are delicious. In fact, with a
bit of online research, you can find wines rated above 90 that are under $20.
Learning about wine tasting online before you attend an event can save you a lot of embarrassment.
For example, you need to know which order the wines should be tasted (light to dark, dry to sweet).
Tasting out of order can ruin the experience, as some wines don't follow others very well.
Also, it is completely acceptable to kindly reject any of the wines being offered to you. If you taste a
wine and find that you don't like it, you aren't obligated to finish the glass that has been poured for
you. Instead, you can utilize the dump buckets that are usually always within an arm's reach.
Learning about wine online will also teach you that it is nearly impossible to objectively enjoy a wine
when you've got a lot of perfume or cologne on. The scent mixes with the bouquet of the wine,
tainting both the scent and the flavor of the beverage.
