Different Wine Types For Beginners

Posted by Perry on January 30th, 2020

Once you read this post, you should have a fairly good idea on wines, that you can describe to others as “working knowledge,” and are aware of enough vocabulary to set out and get your first bottle of wine from the store, or maybe impress your date. That being said, wine is intimating and there are plenty of wine produced in various corners of the world that come with distinctive taste, smell and color. Each type of wine comes with at least one ideal pairing food and you’ll also find some experts who describe fermented grape juice as “slippery.” Irrespective of anything, wine is delicious and there’s no doubt about that. After getting some wine education in New York and preparing yourself with some basic understanding of varieties of wines and their tastes, you can make an ordinary meal into something extraordinary, or in some cases, transform a not-so-cool hangout into something that is truly memorable.

In this article we’ll discuss about wines and make it simple that can be understood by even the beginners.

You may not be aware of this, but the more you understand wine, the more it tastes better. Studies from various institutes have shown that more complex descriptions of red and white wine are actually the driving factors of making those wines taste better. To be honest, this explanation makes more sense. If you already know a lot of words (vocabulary) to describe what you are actually tasting, your brain becomes more proactive to recognize the more subtle flavors, which is not something that anyone would be able to achieve.

After finishing more than half of the post, you might be wondering why the elephant in the room has not been addressed? Yes, we got that you are curious to know how distinctive is a white wine from a red wine? Their looks certainly differ and they also taste quite different. However, we are here to give you the reason why they look and taste so different. The major reason in the both cases is the skin, and a something which is called tannins. Always keep this word in mind (tannin) and what it means, because wine experts keep talking about this a lot. Tannins end up in wine when the vintner gives way to the skin to sit in the grape juice as the fermentation process begins. This is how wines become colored. Wines that come with little or no skin contact develop a pink or white color, with far fewer tannins.  

Consider this post and involve in some more wine education in New York, or any other place.
