Does swirling wine make it taste better? ⁠
⁠
It sure does. Swirling wine in the glass helps to releases its aromas. When you bring the glass up to your lips to take a sip you'll smell all the delicious fruits, florals, herbs and spices that wine has to offer. Smell contributes a lot to how we taste, just think of how difficult it is to enjoy the taste of wine and food when you have a blocked nose. ⁠
⁠
Practice your swirling by keeping your glass on the table, holding the base of the stem like a pencil and drawing circles. As you get more confident, you'll find yourself swirling your wine (or water or coffee) without even thinking. ⁠
⁠
How strong is your swirling game?⁠

When describing wine, the term vegetal can be used

When describing wine, the term vegetal can be used in both a positive or a negative sense. ⁠
⁠
You may taste vegetal characteristics in wine such as asparagus, pea, capsicum, broccoli, board bean or beetroot. When these aromas are pronounced and predominant it is likely the wine was made from unripe grapes and this is traditionally seen as a wine flaw. ⁠
⁠
In some wines (particularly in Sauvignon Blanc or Cabernet Sauvignon), a subtle vegetable smell is pleasant and adds complexity. A 'nicer' descriptor to use in this case may be herbaceous. ⁠

In our Understanding Wine course you will taste 34

In our Understanding Wine course you will taste 34 red, white, sparkling, sweet and fortified wines across 2 consecutive Saturdays or one night a week for 5 weeks.

The line up for week two of Weekend Understanding Wine last Saturday was awesome. 6 sparkling wines, 1 rose and 7 red wines, plus 4 mystery wines to guess in our options game.

Our courses are held in purpose-built wine educati

Our courses are held in purpose-built wine education rooms at the National Wine Centre on the corner of Hackney and Botanic Road. Among other measures, to keep our classes COVID-Safe numbers are kept below 30 people (including our educator), each person has their own disposable spittoon, no water bottles are shared and our educator pours out all the wine. All of our educators are also trained as COVID Marshals.⁠

All the measures we are taking to make sure our classes remain safe can be found on our website (link in bio)⁠

A balanced wine is a joy to drink – no one compone

A balanced wine is a joy to drink - no one component of the wine protrudes or awkwardly sticks out. In a balanced wine, each element works together in complete harmony 🤝⁠
