Vancouver Wine Festival BC Word from the Wise
|
Nothing shouts “wine rookie” louder than fragrance. Refrain from stinky
stuff like perfume, cologne, aftershave and hairspray. The noses,
palates and wines in the room will thank you.
Dress code: avoid fleece. Just kidding about the fleece – but we suggest
smart business attire, and enthusiastically recommend black. (Red wine
never looks good on white.)
To go the distance in the tasting room, wear really comfortable shoes.
Here are some tips when drinking wine:
1. Swirl. Gently swirl the wine in the glass to release the aromas.
2. See. Look at the wine’s color; it sets up expectations. Red wine
picks up color as it picks up flavour from the skins and seeds. Wine
with an intense color is likely to have an intense flavour. Keep in mind
that red wine lightens with age, and white wine darkens with age.
3. Sniff. Get your nose in the glass, you can’t be polite about it. The
first sniffs tell you the most; it’s best to take a few quick sniffs
instead of one long sniff.
4. Sip. Keep the wine in your mouth to taste it for 3 to 4 seconds,
swirl it around all over your tongue. Experts pull air through the wine
while it’s in their mouths.
There’s plenty of wine. Trust us.
Make a plan, Stan. Stay overnight at one of our partner hotels.
Take a taxi. Take transit (BC Liquor Stores offers you a free ticket).
Assign a designated spitter. Walk. Just don’t drink and drive.
You must be at least 19 years old and might have to prove it. |
