A Quick Guide to Wine Tasting
Before you begin your wine tasting journey in Bali, here are some things to note in order to prepare you for a day of flavorful experience.
Look
A basic beginning, start by observing the look of the wine. The main factors to look out for are the color, clarity, and viscosity of the wine.
Smell
The aroma of the wine can give you a hint of what you will be tasting. You’ll see a lot of people gently swirl the wine glass to aerate the wine. Fruity or floral scents are the primary aromas.
Taste
When tasting wine, start by taking a small sip and letting it linger in your mouth for the flavor to slowly express itself. When they are paired with the perfect light bites, you’ll enhance their flavors.
Now that you’ve got the basics down, let’s take a look at some of the best places for wine tasting in Bali.
