Basic Wine Enjoyment

Monday, November 21, 2011 by Jeffrey Weissler

We have a pretty cool way to enjoy wine that’s summarized in a few videos. You’ll feel like a “wine-know” without even trying. Ready?

How to Taste Wine, The Basics:
-What’s to be found in a glass of wine? Our video, Pleasure in the Glass, shows you a very simple, non-technical taste point of view that will amp up your taste buds, and make it easier to see how a winemaker sees.

Wine & Food Pairing Fundamentals:
-You’ll discover how a very simple flavor (ex: lemon) can change your experience of a wine. This video takes you through a series of flavors all paired with the same wine, then gives you 3 basic rules to experiment with at home or out ‘n about.

The Wine & Time “Play by Play”:
-How does air change a wine? What happens to a wine once you’ve opened the bottle? How long will the wine last? In this video, you’ll watch the same wine change over 5 days of being exposed to air. It’s long, so grab a glass of wine, and let the ‘Play-by-Play’ be a supportive guide.

“The Pleasure In The Glass,” “The Wine & Food Experience,” and “Wine & Time” are part of what makes ConsciousWine a consciousness raising experience. We hope this gives you a couple of tools to support what you already know, or engages you in new ideas to enhance your enjoyment of wine.

Happy Holidays!
