There are three different wine tastings, but they all have something (very important) in common, enjoy the wine and have a good time.
A wine tasting can be the perfect plan to surprise your friends and have a fun time.
If you want to know more about the three different types of tastings, read on.
Vertical tasting
In this type of tasting the wines are of the same vintage. What we want to observe is the evolution of the wine over time. Also to see how it behaves during the different vintages, and how the different vintages were. If it is carried out by professionals, it is with the intention of detecting changes in the coupage of the wine, the time it has been aged on lees, the time it has been aged in barrels and of course the climatic differences between the different years.
It is recommended to start with the wine with the oldest vintage and continue to the newer vintages.
Horizontal tasting
In contrast to the previous one, in this type of tasting the wines will be completely different but always with a common characteristic. Such as, the appellation of origin, the grape or the vintage.
Blind tasting
This can be the most fun tasting, since you know absolutely nothing about the wine, neither the type of grape, nor the appellation of origin, nor the vintage. Who will get closer to the right wine?
All wine tastings involve sight, smell and taste. Thus, if more you are more used to drinking wine, the easier it will be for you to taste it.
These three different wine tastings are not only for professionals in the world of wine, anyone who feels like it can try. Even if there is someone professional can guide you and be even more fun.
Cheers and good wine
