Wine Tasting vs Wine Drinking

The difference between wine tasting as opposed to wine drinking is that the former involves concentration, contemplation and consideration. Both are enjoyable, however they serve two completely different objectives, and are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

The Composition of Wine and its Various Components

Wine consists of a complex myriad of substances including water, alcohol, acids, sugars, polyphenols & phenolic compounds, salty substances, dissolved gases and aromatic substances. Each of these components affects the way we perceive the wines total composition.

Wine composition can be broken down into four major parts, as perceived by the senses:-

Appearance and colour – characteristics observed by light. Odour – volatile compounds detected by the nose Aroma – volatile compounds detected retronasally (from within the mouth) Taste - non-volatile compounds that contribute to the tactile sensation of the wine in the mouth

Our Taste Senses

The four primary taste senses that are perceived physically in the mouth, as opposed to flavour perceptions that are detected in the nose and in the retronasal passage include sweetness, bitterness, saltiness & acidity. We are just starting to learn more about a fifth sense known as umami.

Also important in wine tasting is the other tactile mouthfeel sensations of astringency, the warmth of alcohol, and the tingle of bubbles.

Wine Terminology

Communicating the various perceptions obtained during wine tasting is, for many people, one of the most difficult aspects of tasting, and finding the right vocabulary is only part of the problem. The correct use of the terminology to clearly communicate those impressions is also important to avoid misinterpretation.

A tasting vocabulary should be clear, concise, unambiguous, and with the ability to make the recipient understand the interpretations of the taster.
