Choosing a Good Wine at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits
When it comes to wine, one person’s delight is another’s displeasure. Defining your idea of a good wine comes by trying different types, identifying the elements you like, and pulling together the characteristics until you find the varieties and wine styles that tickle your taste buds.
Learn to Speak Wine
When discussing the characteristics of wine, it’s helpful to know what the key words mean in order to identify your preferred features.
- Sweetness – The range of sweet-to-sour of a wine can make all the difference in your wine preferences. Wine terms to describe this feature include the following:
- Sweet – as it sounds, these wines have a high level of sugar, which tends to also mean a lower level of alcohol
- Semi-sweet – a medium degree of sweetness offers a balanced taste
- Dry – these wines have no sweetness and usually have a higher alcohol content.
- Acidity – The level of acidity within a wine translates to tartness versus richness, with higher levels of acidity resulting in more tart flavor.
- Tannins – Phenolic compounds found in grape skins, tannins introduce a sense of bitterness into wine. Red wines tend to have higher tannin levels. Higher tannins equal a more distinctive bitterness.
- Body – The “body” of the wine refers to the weight of the wine while in your mouth. Red wines, and wines made from grapes grown in warmer climates, are usually heavier than white wines and those made from grapes grown in cooler climates. The terms used to explain these feelings include full body for heavy feeling wines, light body for lighter feeling wines, and medium for a balanced weight.
- Alcohol – Wines with higher levels of alcohol provide greater warmth in the throat and back of the mouth when enjoyed.
