• You hear these words all the time when people talk about red wine and if you’ve ever nodded along while someone talked about tannins, body or structure… this one’s for you.

This is Part 1 of a new red wine terminology series, breaking down the language of wine into simple, practical ideas you can feel in the glass, not just read on a label.

These are the red wine terms you hear all the time, explained in a way that actually makes sense when you’re holding a glass, not a textbook. Once you get these, red wine clicks into place very quickly 🍷

To learn more about wine appreciation then sign up to the wine essentials course starting on March 3 . Part 2 is coming soon!

Get • 🍷 Master the Basics of Wine Tasting! Want to level up your wine game? Let’s break it down into 4 easy steps to sip like a pro! 👇

🔍 1. LOOK Color tells a story! From pale lemon to deep garnet, wine’s hue reveals its age, grape variety, and even climate. Pro Tip: Hold your glass against a white background for the clearest view.

👃 2. SMELL Your nose is the ultimate wine detective! 🍇 Primary aromas: Fruity, floral, or herbal? Straight from the grape! 🛢️ Secondary aromas: Toasty, creamy, or nutty? Thank fermentation for that. 🍄 Tertiary aromas: Leather, mushroom, or smoke? Aging brings the drama.

👅 3. TASTE Balance, body, and boldness! Wine’s magic comes from how sweetness, acidity, tannins, and alcohol dance on your palate.

🤔 4. THINK Now, put it all together: Did the wine surprise you? Did it match its aroma? Is it a wine you’d want again — or something new to check off your list?

Remember, there’s no “wrong” conclusion—just your personal taste!
