Wine Tasting Class

Wine tasting

It’s a question of art, style… and emotion!

Here’s a simple way to discover and taste wine, whether at home or in a restaurant.

Wine tasting is an event during which we experience, analyse and appreciate the organoleptic characteristics and more particularly the olfacto-gustatory characteristics of one or more wines. Tasting allows you to appreciate the qualities of a wine and to form an opinion.

We’ll be doing this from my place, so get your glasses ready 🙂

Hello have I got some people here with me can you hear Me can you see me uh so far I see some people are Connected but I don’t know if there’s some people here hey B Kine h Hello wow that’s typical hello suzan Katherine so wine suzan so wine natal said wine oh that’s you know the best way to attract hello I’m just trying to make some I’m just trying to know that here

Testing and we are going to have got few things first we’re going to have good history the different wines and how to test that will be the good part the part when I’m going to have some wine and you may have some wine at home too okay so let’s start with that

So if somebody are are just coming for the first time with me I’m Patrick I’m a former heo on beams guide and I’m still doing some Tour on YouTube and also for private channel so I’m very happy to be with you tonight and tonight I do tour from home because

When testing in the street in Paris it’s not that good so let’s start let’s start by the history of the vineyard and the history of the wine so this is a map of Europe uh let me take a pencil something like that to be able to point out certain certain

Things so this is the map okay and so where when did we start having farming of wine oh it’s going to be long time ago it’s going to be the six Century BC you see 6th Century BC and where do have got that in the 6th Century BC it’s

Going to be in this area of the world so meaning Caucasus and Mesopotamia mainly here Caucasus Mesopotamia okay and after that we’re going to go from this part of the world to NOS so let’s see the travel of the history of of the wine so you see after

That it goes a little bit down and we’re going to be in the 3rd Century BC where are we in the 3rd Century BC oh we are in Egypt and in Phoenicia so Egypt is here and phenicia nowadays is Lebanon so you see we move a little bit further to

Start exploiting and developing the farming of the vineyard after that we go 2,000 BC and we’re going to move north as I said to arrive to Greece okay and in fact it’s the Egyptian who taught the Greek how to make the wine okay and they’re going to become essential for the Greek

Agriculturals they’re going to put vigard all over the mediterran things over the mediteran uh sea okay and it’s so important that even going to have a god of wine you know that God of Wine his name dionos dios is the god is a Greek god you see well that nowadays I

Feel like we have a god of wine that will be a nice God then after that we go to the S BC and we go to a little bit further north and we go to Italy and Sicilia and hello Hillary nice to see you Sicilia so Italy Rome Sicilia and Northern

Africa well they they don’t drink wine uh yes or no yes or no they don’t drink wine globally don’t drink alcohol globally because they are um Muslim so uh mainly Muslim but there’s also Jewish Christian as a copt in Egypt or some other religion but of course um hello

Carol and and it’s a you have been tour and you come for the wine well Carol I like you so uh but they still some of them still drinks wine and they still have got Vineyard a friend of mine was thinking to buy and to redevelop some Vineyard in Egypt you say well

World is always changing and moving so after that we go to the year from 1,000 to 500 BC oh what that uh sorry adubs wants me to do something but I will do later so we go to 1, to 500 BC and that a time we’re going to arrive

Even North from Spain to the th of France so so the wine you see it’s we always speak about the French wine but you see the French Vineyard it just arrived by the time of the Christ not before before it’s like that okay so here 500 BC we start having one in the

South of France and in Spain and after that we’re going to go to 500 BC to the middle age and we go further north we’re going to arrive to England Belgium Netherland Germany and the northern countries and you see more or less Europe is going to developed like that

The wine but what is important is at that time till the middle age the wine that people were drinking it’s not at all the wine we have got nowadays at the time the people naali you spoke about M wine in fact at that time it’s a bit

More like mer wine because the add in the wine herbs and different uh spices so the wine is spicy on herbal it’s only in the middle age that we’re going to have got the kind of wine that we have nowadays okay then after that uh from the 17th

Centuries we’re going to developed the wine to make it more like an industry so what about France France really really the bordo which is the most important Winery you know beak Katherine said she had it’s going to be developed from the 56 BC and bordo is going to be here and

That’s going to develop 56 BC and a little bit hello Stefan a little bit after 2008 we’re going to start developing the Burgundy wine so this is the two area in front where we are going to start having the wine and at that time in the middle

Age the wine is going to be mainly developed by monks in the ab and the monks are drinking the wine don’t worry about that and it’s only in the 20th centuries that we’re going to get the wine as we have nowadays all over the world in this

Country of of Bot okay so that was just to start uh with yeah absolutely lots of countries all over the world but we’re going to focus on French wine if you don’t mind because well today you are with a Frenchman anyway so you see that the the the the evolution of the history

Of the wine is not as sometime simple as we think so let’s speak about French wine versus the world so it’s like a competition no so most of the people said French have got the largest wine production you know hler yes yes absolutely that’s why myself I always goes to

Monastery so who do you think he’s the first producer of wine in the world who is it France helli hi is it France or another country who is the largest producer of wine in the world just tell me your guess Egypt no so who yes absolutely Italy Italy

Absolutely so s us no they will come after so look here I put in million of hectoliters for the one who’s speaking hectoliters millions of hecto um then you’ve got in US gallon or in UK on okay so let’s see that Italy number one 44.5 millions of hecto

Liters yeah absolutely South African are very good have got a lot at home because I went uh by cap town in um in the area by cap town and I was there the 14th of July for the bast day and I drank lot of South African wine in the stellin Bosch so first

Italy second Spain which are equal with France you see Spain 35 France 34.2 so it really depends of the here so that the three most important country in the world which are producing wine in quantity I mean in quality France but I mean in quantity Italy spent and French that’s the top

Three who is coming forth United State of America number four but you see it’s half of the Italian production who is coming fifth Australia with another 10 Millions less and to finish uh the the the 10 first you haven’t said about them but who are after that Chile six Argentina seven South Africa

Eight and China nine and Germany 10 or okay that the most important wine producer in the world so now let’s focus in France yeah so this is the map of the French wine oh look at that myself from Britany no Australia is after uh Australia New

Zealand uh no Portugal no no no no I there is but not in the top 10 you see britan we don’t drink wine we drink cider and in britan The Cider can be as strong as the wine okay so and the wine has been imported you see all the north of

France North Normandy Britany no wine production okay the wine production is the rest of the front but not not the North and the West so let’s see a little bit what is the most important of all these the most important of these of course is bordo

This is the bordo area Okay so you’ve got in bordo many different GP variety which are going to give you different names in Wind um it’s good no side so you’ve got the BL the C the B The Bu The medok bordo the city is here you’ve got

The gra you’ve got the ENT you’ve got all the one from liour all these are different parts of the bord wine which is the largest part of France for the wine production then the grap variety we have in bordo are mainly Merlo cabet for the red and for the white SEO and Soo

This is mainly what you have for all these okay so I’m not going to explain all that because it’s a bit long but I just want to pass very quickly the different area fronts in case you miss some of them so this is the bord here it is maybe you recognize it look

At it cod cod the bone Co shones so where is that in France this is in burgundi oh the wine from burgundi that’s fabulous yes Burundi Catherine absolutely and we have got only two GPS Variety in burgundi pona and shardon for the white okay so you see no many GPS

Varieties but they are very good wine and these as we said before they were started with the Monk okay the famous for instance bone aha we have got a coner here so Catherine especially for you after Burundi we go to B and this is the B so the men City oh sorry

Um we go to Champagne first sorry champag this is champagne okay CH with Val the Lan okay and here we’ve got pinoir or Shad again okay and this is to make of course the sparking wine which are made especially in the area of champagne after champagne we go to

Alas and in alas M it’s a it’s a it’s a name of the grips one of the grips name so this is alas the main city is trur oh that’s where con is living today Con is not there a part of that we start speaking about all the wine from alzas

And you see we have got we are very close from Germany okay because this is the border of Germany and we have got many wines which are here and they are nearly all of them white and they are two types wrestling and Pino let’s carry on and now sorry sorry

We go to B okay this is the B for you Katherine so we are by Mak the city of Mak and here we going to have lot of lots of wine santam julas shenas flurry sh V okay all of them are B on the bja is also famous for what I don’t appreciate

So much in term of quality but which is always a nice Feast is the B Novo so for that we use gamir and shardon you see shardon is one of the most famous varieties of gpe that we use and then we use G and we have got every year what we

Call the BVO which is a very young B for me I think it’s not fantastic quality but having a party with friend for the B it’s like having a BRI with beer in South Africa which is very nice I said that for somebody on the tour so here we go

To another we go to an island this is Cora and you see in corica we’ve got lot of different vener and we are going to have got incredible numbers of great variety which we don’t use anywhere else apart of k neuch charu g s Kon Aloo veru Bank Claret and muskat and all

These lot of these grapes variety are only produced in Corsica which make the Corsican wine very special and very different from the other uh from the other wines then after Cora we go to Jura this is CL close from the Alps okay with so here we are going

To have got lot of white one from Shard on Sav and these white one are going to be much more sweet we’ll explain that later for the red one Pino Pulsa and tuso this is the grapes variety for the wine now we go to the south of France where

The wine started this is the Mediterranean Sea okay and here we’ve got all the wine from the lad do lad do is going to be the side on the west part of the South Front going to spin so here in we’re going to have got lots of lot

Of wine and of course it has got the mediterrane climate which make the wine very different than the rest of France and here again we’re going to have lots of GRA varieties m s cab for the wine gach maabo Claret Bank vermentino Muscat muskat from Alexandria marsan rousan

Pikap shardon moak and more so you can imagine how many variety of graps which are going to make lots of different test in the wine then we go to Lauren the south of alzas where we have got mess and we’re going again again going to get mainly more white wine where

We’ve got G Pino for the red and oera M Pino and Pino for uh the the white wine to finish our trip in France but not completely finished we can go to R which is south of France very close from Spain long dock is a little bit above and this

Is really the Spanish border with the main city of pero here again like for the south of France you see we have got lot of different grabs variety which are a little bit the same are the one from lad do then we go to the Alps on savwa where

We nearly going to do again only white wine but we have got some red and then different variety Mundo Gino that’s all but jaare altes beron cha gr all these ones some of them are going to be a little bit sparkling then this is a large large

Large part of France which is going to be the part where we’ve got tulus and where we have got Bak that you are drinking tonight which is going to be named the Southwest so the Southwest is a huge part of France so this is not bordo okay

Bord is here bergerak is here and this is going to be a run for instance tulus is here okay so this is the Atlantic this is the Mediterranean this is Spain so this is the Southwest out of lad do out of uh the complete um Southwest from

The pene and out of bordo so the rest of the Southwest then we can’t forget the most one of the most important wine in France which is Ron which all Theon which are that’s Val sorry this is Val de so Val de by the valley Castle

You know by pu B this is where you go to the LA Valley castle and if you carry in a little bit here you’ve got the the the run the r valy okay with Valance and here you’ve got all the cot cot C Duron uh all these them always starting with

Coat coat means a heel and that’s it so you see France has got a large production of wine so then I want to I’ve got I just group question that people ask me when they are in front about wine so let’s see together this question why is wine red

Yes suzan so why is the wine red white Rosé or orange is it due to the GP varieties tell me tell me you see that’s white skin aha Katherine we’ve got a real expert due to the skins due to the graps No in fact due to

The skin because think a little bit just compare with cows you got lot of cows black white brown with stain gray many many cows this is all the cows in France and they produce milk but all these cows have got different skin like the graps but when you drink milk the

Milk is always white doesn’t mean the colors of the cows so for the graps aha I see Katherine for the grapes the juice is always transparent doesn’t matter if you take red yellow or he or uh dark you always get a juice transparent okay so that’s

Very important so it’s not due to the GP is due to how we are going to mix the GPS and the skin so the different colors of the wine you see the different colors of the wine are going to do to the mation of the of the grips okay so we

Are going to get the mation which is a moment where we’re going to mature uh the graps Skins we are going to make a fermenting juice this refer to the purge just after the graps have been picked and pressed during which the must the

Must m u s t the must it’s which is the mixture of grape juice skins pulp and Pips is put put into the Vats so you see we put that all together all together and that’s going to bring the color so soluble pigments in the grap Skins are responsible for the red color

Of the wine the intensity of the colors of the wine depends on the numbers of factors including the grap variety of course but the VIN yield also the and the clate the vinification sugar contents and also the edge of the wine so more you leave the liquid more you leave the

Juice with the skin more the wine is going to be from white to Red so what is the time you need to leave the juice with the skin it’s that if you want to get a red wine you are going to leave the wine on the skin

From 6 days to 3 weeks this is the length of mation if you want a rosé wine you’re are going to leave it on or orange you’re going to leave it from 1 hour to 10 hours and if you want to get a white wine none it’s no mation so because if

You put the skin it’s going to change the color okay and if you put the skin it’s going to become orange so according to the colors of the wine you leave the time the skin of the graps inside so it’s mean that you can do red

Wine from red gpes but you can do uh the opposite so you can do um red wine from uh white skin because that’s not going to work it’s going to be it’s going to be orange okay um so you get the difference have you got any question about that yeah yeah yeah Orange

Um so orange is you take the white wine I mean you take the white skin that you put with the juice and that become orange okay that’s how they made the orange wine and you have to make a difference between mation and fermentation okay the fermentation is going to be a process

After uh so for the mation we extract the colors the tanins and Aromas from the graps wide fermentation transform the sugars into alcohol and preserve the dedicate Al aroma so different from fermentation to mation so second question people ask me a lot is what is the wine made

Of so what is the wine made of what is there is into the wine that you drink give me couples of things that you think there is into the wine just wet your reply if no reply I put the slide graps okay the juice of the graps sugar what else sugar on Yeast let’s speak about the yeast later yeah there there is yeast okay okay so I prefer chocolate so what is the wine May of ah no alcohol yes the alcohol is going to come from the fermentation so alcohol met from the fermentation acid volatile or fixed acid sugar sulfur and different other component

Like uh chloride or different other small component but something is missing something you haven’t said yes the non-alcohol one in fact they don’t make the fermentation with the sugar so like that no sugar transformation no alcohol what is missing here thank you Lori water water so now in a bottle of wine what

Percentage of the water you think give me a percentage how many water is inside a glass of wine or a bottle of wine 70 % for Katherine 85% for MIT don’t try to Google no person for natal no water or the reply okay 90% 85% 85% of you what you drink is water

85% alcohol is 133% around so you see that together make nearly 98 99% of what you drink is water and alcohol but more than 80% is water so drink wine it’s like drinking water and the rest are acid glycerol sulfat different little things but such a little quantity yes good

Plan yes you can drink you can get under the drink you know when you drink wine say Okay anyway 85% of what I drink is water so come on so another question that is uh quite often asked to me why some wine no it’s true Nathalie 85% it can even go to

90% so another question which is often asked to me is why there’s some sugared white wine why there is dry on sugar which is not the case in red red is never sweet they always say you need more water so why there is some sweet okay so

We have come some dry and some sweet so how does the alcohol burn to the water uh they don’t separate it no no that during the fermentation so you see we’ve got types of wine which we call the sweet wine these Wines in fact they are going to have not two gs of

Sugar because in the casee of the dry wine we get something like two grams of sugar in the botal that we said before it’s two gram 2 gram so I don’t know how much it make in American and English meure but 2 gram is very very light okay

Just two two grams of sugar but if you go to the sweet wine it’s go to 300 gram you see so 150 times more sugar for a sweet wine than a dry wine but it doesn’t mean the man add sugar in the bottle it’s mean it’s made by the

Fermentation you know when the wine change itself it gets more and more sweet um and also because the graps are a little bit more sweet at the origin and you have got another type of wine that we name V [ __ ] let um let V or also we call it the i1 that we

Must have nearly only in the East and Alp part of France so Jura on alzas this is this wine on this wine we leave the GPS to be frozen you know we leave instead of taking the GPS in September we leave the GP October November then

The GPS lots of GPS are rotten not used but some of them are frozen and if we leave the GP so long the quantity of sugar in the grapes are more important so for that you can have sweet wine or going to Le wine or icy wine okay they

Are of course more expensive more you go to these sweet wine more it gets expensive because at the origin the the the The Vineyard The Vineyard person has to I mean the farmer has to use more um he lost lot of grips so in fact you pay more that’s how say so another

Question I have got quite often is how can we preserved a wine so how to preserve a wine first things you have to store the wine at the right temperature and keep it constant consistent okay the thing is you can’t decide to always change the temperature of the wine from

Cold to hot it has to be at a constant consistent temperature okay around um then you have to store the wine with a proper humidity because if you don’t have the proper humidity the coke of the wine can becomes dry and if the coke becomes dry it’s going to

Leave um the air go into the wine so the coke is really important then you have to avoid the light okay you must keep the wine in a dark location because a part of that the lights are going to change the quality of the wine you also have to protect the

Wine from vibration you know it mustn’t you mustn’t put it on the Underground line because if not good if you do that the wine I mean inside is going to be broken so keep the right temperature proper humidity No Light No vibration but that’s not

All you also have to uh store the bottle horizontally you mustn’t keep the wine vertical um because if you keep the wine vertical then the cork is not anymore humidified by the wine and the coke also becomes dry then you have to store wine away

From uh edes I mean you know if you’ve got garlic for instance or anything like that the wine is going by the cork to get this Aroma and when you are going to drink the wine you are going to fill it so don’t do that of course you have to keep the wine

To the appropriate amount of time you know if a wine has to be drinken young you can’t keep it for 20 years a part of that the wine is finished so according to the type of wine you have to keep it for the approprate and the best things

Of course is to have a Cellar where you can keep it for a long period in the darkness no vibration good humidity good temperature and no uh Al no other odors so that’s how you have to store and how you have to preserve your wine okay so then another question that have

Been asked is um why someone can be mature m mature and some can be mature in fact is going to be done to the alcohol and the concentration alcohol and concentration first it start by The Vineyard more you’ve got a short production more you take out the um the

Leaves and more you have got a perfect sun on it it will be a wine that you can keep on mature also when it’s inside the um the how you call that the the the you see the place where you preserve the wine okay you have to use somebody spoke

About yeast okay you have to use some yeast to have a good fermentation if you’ve got all that done then the concentration on the Alcohol of the wine are going to be sufficient enough for you to be able to keep the wine barrels thank you you can keep the

Wine like that and if you want to control that you can use a wine meter okay so with the wine meter you will see the concentration of alcohol and uh into your wine another question should we have a wine decanted on how to irate the wine that’s an

Important question because lot of people thinks that we can it’s better to Deon the wine first no it’s not better you know if you are not sure if you don’t know how to do it don’t do it just open the bottle to days before that will make

A natural Iration for the wine and you and then when you s and when you make it vertical then the sediment are going to come down to the bottle so you don’t need to make all this process if you don’t know how to do it because when you

Do that if you don’t do it properly you may completely destroy the wine yes two days I mean it depends of the wine you know a wine can be open just couple of hours before but I mean sorry I made a mistake to when I reply to a question to

Days is to put the bottle vertical to open the coke is couple of hours before okay but you take out the wine from your cave you put it vertical for two days that’s what I meant okay two days to put for the deont for for for the sediment go

Down to the bottle then you open couple of hours to irate the wine then it depends of course um about the uh the edge of the wine more it’s old more you need a time of Iration more it’s young less time you need also people ask me what are the most

Famous wine default the most famous wine default is the cking you know the cking it’s a pron smell of mold dump Earth rotting wood and dust you open your wine you smell it this is mean the coke has has been uh hasn’t done the good the good work so

The wine has to be thrown away or to be used for vinegar but you can’t drink that wine the other problem for the wine is uh um is the oxidation okay um so the oxidation is not a default if you do it on purpose but if you don’t it on

Purpose in that case uh it’s going to have got some smell of of a how do you say that Shard Apple or cider or walnuts and that is good if you have a sweet wine so you can have the oxidation for the sweet wine but if it’s a dry one in

That case the oxidation is not normal because the dry one when it become sweet it doesn’t give a good taste if the sweet wine becomes oxidated it’s okay last qu last question why there is different in price so the difference in price is going to be first

Done by the work of the vineyard of the of the wine maker okay this is the process okay you harvest the gripe you extract the juice you make the fermentation you have got the pressure you’ve got the filtration then you keep it for the edging then you bottle it and then you

Drink it this is the process of so more you’ve got a I I can say less industrial process more you arrive to a good wine at the end and what of course the vineyard is very important and of course the field where the vineyard is is very

Important so what is the price of a bottle you see look this is a price in percentage of a bottle which cost like €20 or $24 if you look the different price of that you will see the GPS are only 7.5% of the final price and the wine

Making is 9% so the graps plus the wine making makes only uh 177% of the price the rest of the price the 8 3% you are paying are packaging marketings sales and distribution Administration interest tax federal and state uh net winnery profit whale markup retails markup that’s

83% of the price of the wine you drink only 177% around 177% are going to the wine maker on the price of the grip incredible no so this is you see for instance for a bottle which cost $24 me meaning 20 and of course the last things uh that

I’ve quite quite often ask is about the mesim so for that you need to get a table like the one I’ve got here you see where you’ve got per years the wine and then per years you know if you have to keep it or if you have to drink it you

See for instance red B 2023 you can keep it 2022 you can keep it and the notation is 19 and 18 means good wine 2021 it’s not a good wine you don’t need to keep it too long okay 2020 good 20 okay 2018 2017 not that good and you see from here

You have to drink it or not so you see if you take a table like that you’ve got all the seage all the part of front where you’ve got wine and then you can decide according to that if it’s a wine you have to keep or it’s if it’s a wine you

Don’t need to keep and here you’ve got the temperatures for uh when you drink it okay so that kind of table you can easily find it on internet and ask for the mm of the wines so now uh how to recognize a good wine first the good wine has no

Default that’s what I meant the good wine well balanced okay so um it’s been in between acidity and uality and the good wine has a good teste in mouth it mean I put a kind of long mouth here it mean the good wine has to stay a while after you make the

First drink if you drink it and couple of second after you don’t have anything else in your mouth it’s not good the good wine has to stay in your mouth the test of it has to stay well balanced no default long time in the mouth that is a good things for a good

Wine so how to test the wine as a pro now okay so the wine we have tonight is a graph 2019 sh which is a bordo okay here it is okay so this is the one we’ve got here and we are going to try tonight so the first things to be a pro

Is the eyes so you have to look at the wine like the thank you scen you have to look at the wine with your eyes okay you have to put your glass of wine in front of a white not here you see you have to put

In front of the the light and you have to make it with a white thing so see let’s say like let’s do like that you see I put a white peer here wow gosh it’s transparent anyway you get the idea okay so you have to put it in front of something White

And then you have to um look at it to be able to say first the colors so for that you turn your glass like that a little bit okay that’s why you mustn’t also make it too full because if you feel the glass too full then it fall on the floor

You have to be delicate okay it’s not something you do with with large movement you do it with dedicates okay then you just a little bit put the wine on the side like that and you look at the color for a red wine like that you’re going to qualify the color is it

Red is it purple is it a granat is it ruby red is it cherry red is it bricks red is it uh you know you are going to give a color the color that you think fit the most for this wine so you see for instance this wine we can see okay

It has got a little bit of purple color or cherry red okay you see you can tell what is your definition of the color of the wine okay then you have to speak about the intensity of the wine we say in French La Rob the dress of the wine so like

That we can estimate the maturation and how long time you can keep the wine of course that change with the time you open it more it’s old more you will see it’s already um an old wine okay uh if uh Rob the intensity is like this one

Quite um strong it’s mean the wine is not very old okay more the intensity is dark more the wine it’s old then you also have to look at the sh how the wine is shining we call it The Shining of the wine for that we have to

Look at what we call the dis the disk is the top part of the of the wine not here but here okay at the top of it you have to look at it and you have to look at it with the light you have to look at it

How it move in the light so the very top part of the wine okay uh and more that is going to be sorry I just put my glass a second because I’m getting a I’m getting a little bit tired in the in the arms so okay and so you you decide according

To according to that for the dis is it really um clear or not can you see it on the TC we can see here by the side we can see the transparency of the disc meaning it’s not such a old wine either the second thing you have to do after

Looking at the wine I just put my glass here on my computer here you have to go for the nose the nose so it’s mean you are going to smell it and we are going to say you have two nose the first nose is you

Just I’ve got a big nose so I can show you the I can show you what I mean okay so first you take the first nose so you don’t move the wine you keep it calm in the glass okay and you are going to smell it without moving the wine and

What is your first feeling that’s it I smell it what is my first impression I keep in my head my first expression you know I’m going to say is it a nice smell I like it or not you know just I describe with my own word

You don’t need to use the word of sorry you don’t need to use the word of the very high specialist they always use very complicated words make it simple just make it as you are and just say what I feel how can I describe the

Smell then after the first nose we go to the second nose we call it the D knee that time we need to get a little Iration of the wine so for that we’re going to take the wine and we’re going to take it by the feet and we’re going to make it we’re

Going to to turn it like that okay so if you are not very good at do like that sorry uh no where is oh okay here it is you put the wine on the table and you turn it like that okay because if you do that you are

Not going to drop and you see the one is turning so that’s the easy way to do it if you are more advanced then you can do that you can do that with your hand okay you can twist it with your hand but if you are not sure of doing that without

Dropping anywhere then put on the table and then when you’ve done that you made the you you irated the wine so then you go for the second nose on that time oh that’s pretty different because as I I rated the wine different flavor different smell I can qualify the wine with different name

Than from the first time and then you can say it’s a little bit floral or it’s vegetable or it’s spicy you see you’re going to give this kind of qualification for the wine according to what you’ve got for the S nose okay after that so first we have looked at

The wine the eyes Okay secondly we have smell it two times without moving after the moving and the third thing of course it’s going to be the testing in your mouth finally at least after 1 hour we can put the wine in our mouth I prepare

My mouth so for that I’m going to have to do it something very very special we call it the Retro olfaction in French what does it mean retro faction so it’s mean you are going to have to take a little bit of wine in your mouth and then you have

To swallow a little bit of air little bit without swallowing the wine so you have to put a bit of wine in your mouth and then take a little bit of air and then you have to blw the air through your nose so suppose I’ve got already in

My mouth the wine I you know get a bit of air and then make it through my nose and that air that I take is going to go through the wines go to my nose and then go to my brain do you see it’s like that I swallow it because I’m not going

To split it and I’m not going to be able to keep it in my in my mouth with speaking to you okay so I need to I need to drink it normally you don’t drink it okay okay so that’s what we call the I don’t

Know how to say in English we call it the Retro Alf faction it’s very important okay and um with that you’re going to get all the aroma of the of the wine the third thing is when you take it you’re going to qualify it we call it the

First the L the first part of the wine so is the wine soft either the wine extra soft either the wine a bit like strong you know you’re going to qualify it you get it in your mouth how how I feel it through my mouth and my

Nose and then you’re going to try to qualify it uh if you’ve got the balance you remember the balance we saw before the balance of the wine so you’re going to say you’re going to try to uh say if if uh the wine is a little bit more

Bitter is it acid is it sweety is it salty so all that you’re going to say it’s round it’s elegant it’s rough it’s dried you know you’re just going to qualifi the aroma according to what you put in your mouth get the breeze the air and then through the air through your

Nose and that is going to be your first impression of the wine through the first drinking so of course it’s a bit different from a red wine than from a white wine okay because from the white wine we really think about the acidity and the fat of the wine is it how how

Acid is it and how fat is it for the red wine we also have got the acidity and we have got the fat but we add the tanning the tanin is how earthy is the wine okay um so the tanin don’t have any test but when you’ve got the wine in your mouth

Uh you feel it you know it’s like if you had powder in your mouth you know it’s like if you are eating the wine oh oh it’s very tanic more tanic is it more old more mature more strong the one it is going to be doesn’t mean it’s better you know all

What I tell you it doesn’t mean there is a best wine or a worst wine there is the wine you like it’s for like for the art you know it’s not because meons of people goes to see monaa that you have to like monaa you like it fine you don’t like it

It’s your choice for the wine is the same it’s what you like of course the price of the wine is going to be done also by the um anal analist the people who have got the quality of testing the one are going to tell you this is absolutely fantastic but it’s like me

When I make a tour in the roof I said to my guest oh monaa that’s absolutely fantastic you know but honestly if somebody prefer a painting from Rafael than a painting from Leonard Vinci 100% agree with him for the wine is the same okay the most important thing is how you feel yourself

Not how the specialist are going to tell you okay the last part of the testing with your mouth is uh how you have it in your mouth so more after you threw away the wine more the wine stay in your mouth more the wine is supposed to be

Good quality okay more and more old it is more the wine disappear from your mouth after a couples of second usually it’s a young wine and a little bit less good okay that’s again I tell you it’s not a question I remember somebody said oh the wine from Chile are very

Good yes somebody’s can say oh we’ve got good wine in Washington state yes some people have said the best wine in the world are going to be in Burundi fine this is your own decision and for me it’s all fine the last things I wanted to tell you before we

Finish is about the glass okay the glass of wine which is here okay don’t forget the glass also is important and the glass have got different name here we call the B the part where we drink here we call the chimney okay here we call the kalis like

The kalis of the Christ special for the uh special name from our kees friend here we call the Sher here we call of the of the of the glass here we say the button here we say the legs and here we say the feet and then we’ve got

Uh the cette which is like a sink so you see all these name are the tickle typical name to make the feet I me the feet the legs and the sink the button uh par is difficult to translate I mean it’s how Rish is the glass the Sher the

Kalis the chimney and the Drinker drinking part so if you want to be a complete specialist you always uh to have to say that about the glass ah you see Katherine W my dear friends it’s a very long tour have to adapt it because it’s too long it’s more than one hour anyway
