Mastering the Four Essential Steps of Wine Tasting is your practical pathway from casual sipping to confident, structured evaluation. Whether you’re a curious beginner, an avid enthusiast, or a hospitality professional, this course demystifies the tasting process so you can analyze any wine with clarity and enjoyment. You’ll learn the internationally recognized four-step method—Look, Smell, Taste, Conclude—and apply it to real-world scenarios, from evaluating a weeknight white to assessing a special-occasion red. Inside, you’ll discover how color and clarity hint at grape variety and age, how aromas evolve from the first to the second nose, and how sweetness, acidity, tannin, alcohol, and body shape a wine’s personality. We’ll explore common wine faults so you can spot issues like cork taint or oxidation in seconds, then bring it all together with the BLIC framework (Balance, Length, Intensity, Complexity) to judge quality objectively—without losing sight of your personal preferences. Along the way, you’ll get service-smart with ideal temperatures, glassware choices, and palate prep, plus test your knowledge with engaging quizzes and a sensory terminology mini-game. If you’ve ever wondered why a wine tastes the way it does—or how professionals build precise tasting notes—this course gives you the tools, vocabulary, and confidence to taste like a pro.
