QuestionAren't there different ways to taste wine? I learned from a French lady that tasting wine, not drinking, should be done by spitting the wine out after putting it in your mouth.Community AnswerIt says in Method 2, Step 1: "You spit the wine into a spittoon provided on all wine-tours." Unless you want to get drunk, then do not spit the wine. Enjoy the wine in your mouth and exhale through your nose the aromas of the wine. Please do not drink and drive, choose a driver if you plan to go to a wine-tour. Relax and enjoy the flavors that come along with Red and White wines.

QuestionWhat does a good wine taste like?Community AnswerA good wine should taste balanced; one flavor shouldn't overpower the others. For example, if this is a fruity wine, you should taste a mixture of sour, sweet, earthiness, and some bitterness. It's especially important that the flavors balance each other out in white wine.
