Place and moment for tasting

Place and moment for tasting

Not every place or moment is perfect for a tasting. Today we are going to learn about this: moments and places to enjoy wine.

PLACE

To carry out the tasting in a room with good, uniform and adjustable lighting.

The walls should be clear and be clean. It is necessary to use white tablecloths to make out the wine’s true colour.

To avoid noises since they can distract you.

The room has to have no distracting odors since they can make it impossible to taste properly.

It is necessary to have the right ventilation to avoid the aromas mixing or accumulating.

The tasting room’s correct temperature should be between 20ºC and 22ºC.

It is recommended that the humidity level in the room is between the 60 and 70%.

THE TASTING MOMENT

Choose those hours close to the midday. It is considered that the best time for the tasting is in the morning, between 11.00 and 13.00 hours, since you are rested and more clearheaded.

Wine tasting is an internal balance game. Don’t forget that if you are hungry or if you have eaten too much, your perceptions can be distorted.
