WSET Advanced Level –Looking behind the Labels
酒标背后
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
Tasting wine rather than simply drinking it increases our appreciation of the wine by allowing us to examine it in detail.Although the process can seem repetitive at first, with practice it becomes a subconscious habit. Forcing us to put our sensations into words means the impression of the wine lingers longer in our memory. It also helps us communicate to other people what the wine is like, sometimes long after we have tasted it. This is an essential skill for anyone involved in the production, distribution or sale of wine. As we will see in Chapter 2,successful food and wine matching requires us to consider the separate components of the wine.The systematic approach to tasting outlined below, shows us how to do this.
葡萄酒品尝和评估
葡萄酒品尝实际上就是通过品尝时的细节判断,为饮用者增加感官享受。
这样的过程在一开始需要反复练习,时间久了就成为一种下意识的品尝习惯。
强迫自己把感官体会用语言描述出来即便于记忆,同时又有助于我们和别人交流品尝时的感觉。
这对于任何一个生产商、经销商和销售人员都是极为重要的技能,就如后面第二章里提到的成功的餐酒搭配要求能够考虑到酒的各个口感组成。
我们就用下面的品尝概要来描述如何进行品尝和产品评估。

品尝和评估
Preparation for tasting
The idealtasting room will be odour-free(no smells of cleaning products, tobacco, food or perfume), withgood natural light, andwhite surfacesagainst which we can judge the appearance of our wines. Ourtasting palate should be clean, and unaffected by tobacco, food, coffee, gum or toothpaste. Chewing a piece of bread can help remove any lingering flavors. Hayfever, colds and fatigue affect our ability to judge wines, because they affect our senses of taste and smell.Many glasses have been developed to show different wines at their best.However, we need one type of glass in order to make fair comparisons between wines.ISO glass has a rounded bowl that is large enough to swirl the wine. The sides slope inwards in a tulip shape to concentrate the aromas, and the stem allows us to hold the glass without warming the wine.
品尝前的准备工作
理想的品尝环境首先需要一个干净无味的空间,无论是洗涤用品、烟草、食物或者香水;
自然光线;
白色桌布表面(用来判断酒的颜色);
清理口腔包括烟草、食物、牙膏、口香糖等,无味或少许咸味的面包可以有效去除逗留在口腔的各种味道;
发烧感冒或疲劳都会影响评估能力,因为他们会直接影响品尝和嗅觉感官;

The WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting (Intermediate)
This approach systematically describes aspects of a wine in the order we encounter them. Appearance first, then the nose, then the palate, and finally we may use our impressions to draw a conclusion about the quality of the wine.
品尝和评估
与WSET中级课程的品尝相似,这个品尝体系能够使品尝者在遇到各种不同产品时都能从酒的各方面去描述产品,首先包括酒的外观和颜色、然后是香气、其次是口感,最后是综合产品各方面的表现来整体评估产品的质量。
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
Appearance
The main reason for looking at the appearance of a wine is that it can warn us of faults.If a wine is too old, has been badly stored, or the cork seal has failed, allowing air to damage the wine, then it is described asout-of-condition. It will be dull in appearance, and will have at least a hint of brown, though a brown colour does not always indicate a faulty wine. (Brown hints can appear in healthy old wines, particularly those that have been aged for very long periods in oak.) Haziness may indicate a fault, or it could be that the wine has deliberately not been filtered before bottling.
品尝和评估葡萄酒
外观
观察葡萄酒的外观的主要原因在于提醒我们注意产品是否存在瑕疵。
如果葡萄酒的年龄过大,那么已经在储存过程中损坏了,或者橡木塞损坏而导致的氧化都被形容为意外状况out-of-condition.此时的酒在外观上会出现阴暗呆滞,或者开始显现出棕色,虽然偏棕色未必一定是有问题的酒。
(大部分健康的老酒也都会出现棕色,特别是经过长时间橡木储存的葡萄酒)混浊也是葡萄酒出现问题的一种表现,或者是在装瓶前未经过滤澄清。
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
It is worth making a quick note of the colour.
Look at the intensity:
is it particularly intense or pale?
Purple is an indication of youth; orange, amber and brown colours are indicators of age. However,bear in mind that some wines change colour more rapidly than others, so no definitive conclusions about actual age can be reached.
If it is white wine, is it lemon or gold?
Green indicates youth; orange and brown indicate age.
For rose wine, a bright purply-pink indicates youth; orange and brown hints indicate age.
The following are examples of more precise descriptions:
clear, intense rubydull and cloudy, dark brown
clear, medium-intensity, garnet
clear, pale gold
品尝和评估葡萄酒
对葡萄酒进行一个快速简介的描述是非常必要的。
观察颜色的深度:
是否特别深或者浅?
紫色是年轻的表现;橙色、琥珀色和棕色则是年老的表现。
不过,有些葡萄酒的颜色转变特别快,所有很难作出精确的判断。
如果是白葡萄酒,究竟是柠檬色还是金色?
发绿表示年轻;而橙色和棕色表示年老。
桃红葡萄酒,亮丽的粉红色表示年轻;橙色和棕色表示年老。
下面是一些精确描述的例子:
清澈的深宝石红;阴暗混浊的深棕色;清澈而中等深度的石榴红;清澈的淡金黄色;
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
Nose
Swirl it in the glass to release as many aroma molecules as possible, then take a sniff. Then make a note of the condition of the nose. The most common fault that can be discovered on the nose iscork taint. At low levels, this can strip the wine of its fresh, fruity aromas. At its worst, it can add a pungent, unpleasant damp cardboard or musty smell to the wine.
Out-of-condition wines will smell dull and stale, and may have excessive oxidative aromas(coffee, caramel or sherry).
How intense are aromas?
Are they particularly pronounced, or light and hard to detect?
Describing the smell is a more subjective aspect. It will depend greatly on your previous experiences. There are well-understood reasons why aromas such as butter, vanilla, rose or raspberry appear in some wines, and other aromas are less well understood.
Someone avoid using aroma descriptors, but in order to evoke the wine their tasting notes often use words such as ‘feminine, elegant, clumsy’, but these words are difficult to define.
Objective approach would involve naming the particular chemical compounds which are present, which is almost impossible to do accurately and useless to most wine drinkers.
Make your aroma description vocabulary as wide and precise as possible. Always be aware, tasting note is to help describe a wine to someone who has not tasted it.
Wine Tasting
Smell the wine, you can:
Differentiate the quality and style for both grapes and regions;
Estimate the wine and describe it;
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
Palate
It is often said that tasting is an entirely subjective matter. It is true that our sensitivities to sweetness, acidity, tannins and certain aroma compounds differ.
Different parts of the mouth have different levels of sensitivity to sweetness, acidity and tannins.
If we wish to extract the maximum information, it is important to swirl the wine around the mouth so that every part is exposed to it.
Sweetnessis an indicator of how much sugar a wine contains, though wines made from very ripe grapes can have a slightly sweet flavour even when there is no sugar.Almost all red wines, and most white wines, are dry, that is, they contain almost no sugar.White wines that taste slightly sweet are described as ‘off-dry’.The part of the tongue that is most sensitive to sweetness is the tip.
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
Acidityis what makes lemons taste sour. It causes the mouth to water, and its presencemakes wines taste vibrant and refreshing.It is present in all wines, though levels in white wines are generally higher than acidity levels in reds. Certain varieties, such as Riesling and Sau. Blanc, give wines that are particularly high in acidity. Cool climates generally result in higher levels of acidity than hot climates. Acidity is very important for sweet wines. If it is too low, the wines taste oversweet, and cloying. Acidity is most strongly detected by the sides of the tongue.
Tannin is what makes strong black tea taste bitter and stringent. They are present in grape skins, and presence in a wine depends on the amount of skin contact during winemaking. White and rose wines receive very little, so they rarely have any detectable tannin. Thick-skinned varieties have much higher tannin levels than thin-skinned ones. High levels of soft ripe tannins may indicate a hot climate wine.Note that astringent tannins from unripe grapes can cause a strong, mouth drying sensation, even when their levels are low.The bitter flavours are most strongly tasted at the back of the tongue; the astringent sensations are most strongly felt on the gums.Soft, ripe tannins contribute to the viscosity and body of the wine.
Body is also sometimes described as ‘mouth-feel’.
It is the sensation of richness, weight or viscosity, and is a combination of the effects of alcohol, tannins, sugars and flavour compounds extracted from the skins.It is possible for a wine such as Beaujolais to be high in alcohol(13%), but still be light in body because it has very little, and is lightly flavoured.
Tasting and Evaluating Wine
In contrast to sweetness, acidity, tannins and body, which are detected in the mouth,
flavour characteristics are detected when aroma components in the wine evaporate off the tongue and rise up to the back of the nose.
This is why we cannot taste properly with a cold. To help these volatile flavour components reach the nose, many tasters slurp the wine by drawing air in through their lips while tasting it. The groups of flavour descriptors are the same as those for the nose.
Length, also called the finish, is how long the flavours linger in the mouth after the wine has been swallowed or spat out. A long, complex finish is an indicator of quality.
Conclusions
Finally, having described our wine, we may form an assessment of its quality. A good starting point is to ask yourself whether you like the wine or not. If you like it, how much do you like it, and what do you like about it?
If you did not enjoy it, try to articulatewhat you did not like about it. An objective assessment of quality goes beyond personal likes and dislikes.
The key question is, is it a good example of its type?
Many criteria can differentiate between a poor wine, an acceptable wine and a great wine. Include:
BalanceLengthIntensity
ComplexityExpressiveness
In a good quality wine, the sweetness and fruitiness will be in balance with the tannin and acidity.
A balanced, pleasant finish where the flavours linger for several seconds is an indicator of a high quality wine. For
