1. LOOKTake your glass from the down part, tilt it slightly and LOOK, easy & fun !
Tips: use a white napkin or even your white t-shirt to have a better glimpse at the wine’s color.
Colors
There are many different colors tones, check the range of colors for red, white and rose wines! Color is always darker when the wine is young and lighter when it ages.
Color can change depending on its region, variety of grape, soil, wine makingprocess, age of wine…
Tips: Sparking wines also have different colors tones from light to dark. Check the size of the bubbles: the thinner they are, the better the quality is!
This is the thin color on the side of the glass edge. For white and rose wine, wine hint becomes darker with age. For red wines, it becomes lighter with age.
Is the wine clear, with no pieces of particles inside? This is a sign of quality!
Tips: A few particles are ok in old wines, or also organic or non filtered ones.
After having tilted your glass a little, if you see transparent traces inside the glass, then you have found the wine “legs” ! It shows mostly the alcohol contained into the wine ! The slower the traces come down, the more alcohol it has.

Tips: An easier way is to swirl directly your glass over the table.
