Wine Tasting Tip - Your First Sip

Wine Tasting Tip - Your First Sip

Have you ever been to a wine tasting event and notice everyone is slurping their wine as they taste? Well, they aren't being rude. The slurping of the wine actually allows air to pass through the wine opening it up so you can get the best taste possible. This little technique,also know as "chewing the wine". This will help you bring out the additional flavor tones with in the wine.

It may not sound great, but a little slurping at the wine tasting table will elevate your experience and make you look like an expert. What you taste or what you like after you slurp is totally up to you. Don't get bogged down with all the wine tasting etiquette. Just enjoy your tasting (and slurp your wine). 

Cheers wine friends!
