Here independence bars will learn about the Five S's of wine tasting. When class has ended, you will be prepared to head out to your local wineries, wine bars in Independence, or cocktail bars near me to apply your new abilities! You can easily find wineries and lounge bars in your area by searching online. For those who have never done a wine tasting before, you might like to watch an instructional video first to enable you to see how wine is made and why each one of the following elements is crucial to any wine's flavor profile.


The initial two of the Five S's of wine tasting are to see and swirl the wine. Swirl the glass slightly to see if there are any bubbles and to see if the liquid is clear or when there is any doscoloration or sediment present.

The 3rd of the Five S's is to sniff the wine. You should sniff the wine just like you were sniffing a cologne. Take a nose and inhale deeply; hold that for a second and then exhale slowly. Do this many times and note the distinctive smell.

Next, sip on your wine to see if you get a smooth flavor or perhaps a tart or acidic taste. An excellent wine should have a nice balance of acidity and smoothness. You can determine if the acidity level is too much or too low by swirling the glass and seeing if it froths up or if the liquid remains heavy.

The final S of wine tasting involves savoring the aromas. There must be speakeasies in independence and tastes of aroma from the wine. Some scents will be more prominent than others. You can experience these together and recognize stronger and subtler aromas by completing the initial 4 S's and letting it all sink in.
