Let's start with the difference between a regular wine tasting and a wine glass tasting:

Wine tastings: At a traditional wine tasting, you usually taste a selection of wines from a single glass, focusing on the qualities of the wine itself. You pour the wines into the same glass, swirl it around, smell it, take a sip and taste the wines to learn more about their backgrounds and characteristics.

Wine glass tastings: In a wine glass tasting, multiple wine glasses are used, and the focus shifts to how the size and shape of the glass affect the characteristics of the wine. You take the same wine and taste it from different glasses, noticing how each glass changes the expression of the wine.

Your home wine glass tasting is now ready to begin. Follow these steps for the best experience:

1. First, prepare all glasses by pouring them evenly with the different wines.
2. Swirl each wine around in its glass to mix the wine with oxygen, which enhances the aromas and flavours.
3. Next, smell each individual wine in the different glasses. Note if you can detect differences, for example by trying to compare which aroma or flavour is most prominent in each glass.
4. Taste the wine from the different glasses and pay close attention to how the taste experience changes depending on the glass. This is the time to really experience how the size and shape of the glass affect the expression of the wine.
