To real wine lovers, tasting wine is an experience that is enjoyed in slow, satisfying moments. You need to take note of several things before the wine even touches your lips. First, you have to consider the color of the wine as it is reflected on the glass. Is the liquid clear or does it look cloudy? Wine experts say that the experience is better if the glass is bigger. Swirl the wine inside the glass in order for the wine to air out. Smell the wine and take note of its distinctive flavors. Is it fruity or sweet? Does it have a mild or strong scent? Is it spicy or earthy? You can tell a lot just by smelling the wine. You don't have to take an extensive course in wine tasting; just go with what you feel.

When it's time to actually taste the wine, sip a bit of it and taste the liquid on every part of your tongue. Take note of its sweetness, bitterness or saltiness by moving the wine around your mouth. Sweetness is generally sensed at the tip of the tongue, bitterness near the back and saltiness near the front. It would be better if you start of with the white wines and work your way up to the reds or towards sweeter dessert wines. After swallowing or disposing the wine, take note if the taste lingers.
