第四篇:葡萄酒品鉴礼仪
1、适当的酒杯、光源与白色背景物、品酒场地的温度以及无任何的异味
when to taste 品酒的时机
理想的品酒时间约于用餐之前,同时又可当作餐前的开胃酒。早上的 11 时,或傍晚 6 时左右的时间,都颇符合这样的时段。若您不想空腹之状态下品酒(空腹之状态下酒精很快地就会被吸收),这时可喝下一大杯的牛乳或水,以及一份淡味的三明治作为 “ 添底物 ”。如果您的酒量甚差,建议您于品酒进行其间,可饮下大量的水分,这种方法相当的有效用。
iso 葡萄酒品酒专用杯
品酒所使用之酒杯被认定以 iso(international standard organization)葡萄酒杯最为理想。
理想葡萄酒杯之诸元(尺寸):
杯底宽度 65 公厘 ±5 公厘
杯脚长度 55 公厘 ±3 公厘
杯体长度 100 公厘 ±2 公厘
杯体底宽 65 公厘 ±2 公厘
杯口宽度 46 公厘 ±2 公厘
酒杯总长度 155 公厘 ±5 公厘
酒杯总容量 215 毫升(c.c.)±10 毫升
酒杯杯体厚度 0.8 公厘 ±0.1 公厘
无色、水晶玻璃杯,含铅量比率约 9% 或更高。
品酒时,斟入酒杯内之容量约 35-50 毫升(c.c.)
适当的酒杯 the wine glass
适当的酒杯可使品酒时的准确性提高,无论是酒的外观之判断,以及气味的辨识,都比不适当的酒杯优越许多,因此,专家们都推崇以 iso 葡萄酒杯,作为品鉴葡萄酒最佳的选项。
葡萄酒杯影响闻气的四个因素:、酒杯的外型。、葡萄酒杯内部有较大的面积,可让延伸的范围增加,旋转与摇动更容易,葡萄酒液里的芳香物质挥发的更快、迅速。、杯子内部到杯口,葡萄酒可容纳的空间有多大。这个空间足以影响葡萄酒气味的对流、发展和气味之集中。、杯体与杯口之大小亦是另一个重要的关连性。这两者之间需取得相当的均衡性,必须能达到释出气味,以及防止气味外泄过于迅速。
光源 lighting
自然的阳光当然是最佳的光源,人造光源会影响饱和度与色调。特别是要避免荧旋光性的光源,这种光线会使得红色看起来好像是不健康的棕色,甚至带有类似紫色之隐色。
烛光可强化葡萄酒的外观,但比较正式的品酒场合,烛光只能利用于观察葡萄酒的真正纯净度,所以烛光大都使用在酒窖,观察刚从酒桶里抽出之浅龄葡萄酒,或者在晚餐过酒时使用。
间接日光(折射)颇为理想但比较不实际。以人造灯光来说,标准的灯泡比起荧光灯应是较佳的选择。但两者光源对于红酒外观来说,或多或少会使得酒的颜色比较偏向褐色,同时酒的色泽表现的比实际的年份 “ 老些 ”。坐定式品酒可在桌面提供白色的背景物,例如:白色的桌布、白纸巾、厨房用的白色卷纸,都相当的适宜。
正式的品酒场合,可使用白塑料版,在每次品酒会结束后,可轻松、容易地将之擦拭干净。
站立式品酒之场所,除了光源的要求外,还需考虑某些白色背景物,如白色的墙壁或白色的大板子,提供品酒人观察葡萄酒所需的背景。
场地与温度 place and temperature
第一个主要的重点是需要一个足够空间之场地,能方便的自由活动,书写、以及吐酒时不会影响到其它人的通路。假如可以达到这样配置的场所,那就万事皆备。假如酒的种类太多,或者是所有的人挤在一个狭小的空间里,将使与会的人感到不舒服。
烟味及男性或女性香水。虽然人的嗅觉可迅速的适应这些气味,但在某个程度上,是一种不尊重与侵犯他人的行为。
温度控制总是有些错综复杂。其间比较重要的是葡萄酒在酒杯里难免会逐渐地升温,所以最好的方法是将葡萄酒置放于冷却器里保温,胜过暴露于温热的地方。理想的温度式品酒时重要的条件之一,同时当我们以手持杯时,酒的温度会渐渐地变得温热。假如品酒人采取自助的方式品酒,那么白酒可置放于 “ vinicool/ 冰酒桶 ”,或者用加有冰块和水的桶子,保持酒的冰凉状态,尽管以后面保持凉冷的方式感觉上有些肮脏,但不失为一个好的方法。
品酒顺序 tasting order
无甜葡萄酒先于甜味葡萄酒,白酒先于红酒(正常的状况应是如此),淡质葡萄酒先于浓质葡萄酒,浅零葡萄酒先于陈年葡萄酒。事实上并没有所谓的完美无缺的品酒顺序,有时必须对现况而有所妥协。最后;值得一提的是,需记得,站立式品酒或者当你面对着数杯葡萄酒,挑选你想品鉴的酒时,没有人可按照上述的顺序品酒,但可使人乐在其中。
葡萄酒之外观 appearance
对于品酒来说,葡萄酒外观之重要性与影响,远不及于嗅觉和味觉。
尽管成熟的葡萄酒,所散发出之光泽可满足我们的视觉,假如一个人只乐于享受这样的葡萄酒,那几乎与眼盲的人一样,因为若有先入为主的观念,可能会误导你的嗅觉判断力。当然;酒的外观仍然具有它的重要性。假如只因为根据最初所看到的葡萄酒外观,而推论喝下葡萄酒之优劣,如前言所说,纯粹是先入之见。
牛乳看起来白晰而不透明,新鲜之柳橙汁浓稠还带有果粒,可引起人的食欲。我们期盼所饮下的葡萄酒是洁净的、亮眼的,同时没有任何的残渣出现。
在不提示品酒(盲品)时,不需要耗费太多的时间在葡萄酒的外观上,因为酒的颜色已能提供足够之讯息。粗略的扫视葡萄酒的干净度与明亮度即可,然而;毕竟葡萄酒的外观与酒的气味、品质、口感仍然是息息相关的。
任何酒液里出现悬浮物,或模糊的情形,若葡萄酒有这样的外观,表示酒的清澈度有瑕疵,同时也是一种警告的讯息。
颜色转换的速度根据葡萄品种,以及葡萄年之特质而定。
褐 / 棕色转化的色泽程度经常被称为 “browning/ 转化中的褐色 / 棕色 ”,而这个颜色与葡萄酒是否成熟有关连(葡萄酒是否准备可饮用),比实际上已陈熟多少年数还精准。
在某些情形下褐色转化的速度比较快。我们发现有些葡萄品种,如梅洛(merlot)、格那希(grenache)等,转化的速度比起其它的品种快,酒酸偏低,阳光照射多的地方,及年份比较不稳定的葡萄酒,其转化的速度比较快。
红葡萄酒颜色变化说明如下:

第五篇:葡萄酒品鉴礼仪
优雅地举起面前的酒杯,凝神观察酒的色泽和印痕,再寥寥几语内行地品评酒的香气和风味,能使一名陌生的来客迅速受到整个社交圈子的欢迎。
葡萄酒是现代国际社交的第二种语言,这种观点得到了众多政务商务人士的认同。
品尝葡萄酒是从桌上到嘴边,在身体与葡萄酒接触时,自然而然所建立的顺序。首先将酒杯举起,注视葡萄酒的外观,这是品酒的第一个步骤。然后,将酒杯朝鼻子靠近,让鼻子充分的吸入从酒杯里散发出的香气,品酒的第二个步骤。酒杯接触到嘴唇,并喝下杯子里的葡萄酒,同时体验葡萄酒的所有的真实感受,品酒的第三个步骤,也是真实的品酒之始。
综合以上所言,相关连的有:以眼观视,以鼻闻气,以口品尝。而最后的步骤,是在印证视觉、嗅觉所获得的相关印象。第四个步骤,“ 结论 ”,是在总结所有的感想与印象,以及对葡萄酒做出最后的定论与裁决。开始品酒前,应确认所采用的酒杯是适宜的,灯光照明也合乎要求,同时要有白色的背景物,衬托葡萄酒杯,使得观察葡萄酒的色泽更清楚、更容易。品酒前需注意的事项 1、适当的酒杯 2、光源与白色背景物、品酒场地的温度以及无任何的异味 When to Taste品酒的时机
理想的品酒时间约于用餐之前,同时又可当作餐前的开胃酒。早上的 11 时,或傍晚 6 时左右的时间,都颇符合这样的时段。若您不想空腹之状态下品酒(空腹之状态下酒精很快地就会被吸收),这时可喝下一大杯的牛乳或水,以及一份淡味的三明治作为 “ 添底物 ”。如果您的酒量甚差,建议您于品酒进行其间,可饮下大量的水分,这种方法相当的有效用。ISO葡萄酒品酒专用杯

Bright Purple Plummy Red Red-Brown Rich Mahogany Drab Brown 鲜亮紫色 红李子色红棕色 浓红褐色 淡褐色 White wines白葡萄酒
白葡萄酒颜色的范围;由几乎无色、非常浅黄带棕色。
无甜味白葡萄酒,在它生命周期的起端,通常色泽都很清淡,然后随着时间的增加,颜色逐渐的加深,这点与红葡萄酒有很大的差异。
甜白葡萄酒,一开始,颜色属与比较阴暗的黄色,随着葡萄酒年龄的增长,会转变成金色,然后再转成琥珀色且带有棕色淡素的色泽。
葡萄成分里的酚,能提供浅龄葡萄酒黄颜色的色素,而颜色的多样性,随着使用葡萄品种与酿制的方式,呈现出不同的颜色风貌。
The Varieties Colour of Red Wine Maturity 白葡萄酒成熟各阶段颜色之变化
浅龄或北部型态陈年醇化中 成熟或南部型态 已成熟的 衰竭
Young or North Aging Ripe or South Matured Too Old Pale Yellow-Green Yellow Yellow-Gold Deeper Yellow Gold/ Ambers 浅黄粉红的可爱色彩与特色。带有橙色之桃红葡萄酒,是法国普罗旺斯和南部炎热地区之特有色泽。Pink 粉红色
当桃红葡萄酒呈现出粉红色这种色泽时,它的弦外之音是,此色乃属人工所调配而成。若带有任何些微的隐紫色,表示酒的健康状况已经出了问题,可能酒在澄清(fining)的过程,或酒质已遭污染。检视葡萄酒外观的甚么地方 Where to look 将酒杯倾斜后,两个颜色区段需描述与说明:
一、酒的边缘部分(rim)
二、酒眼(eye)或酒窝(bowl)酒的边缘(rim),区分为最外围的水色边缘(Rim edge),及次外围之本色边缘(Rim proper)。
“Rim edge”,酒的外端边缘,如水一般的外观,其变化的惯性,会随着酒龄之增长而加宽,并逐渐地散失其色。
酒的最边缘地带永远是如水般一样(变化与 Rim Proper 同)。如水边缘之前端的色带(酒体本色边缘),其颜色会随着年龄之增长而渐失其色。
红葡萄酒之边缘之酒体本色(非最尽头的水色边缘 /Rim Edge)可提供许多的讯息。
“Rim proper”,酒的本体边缘,从水般颜色向内朝酒眼的边缘部分。如果这部分的宽度或许只有数公厘(mm)宽(1/10 英吋),表示属浅龄酒,或酒体比较集中的葡萄酒;假如这部分的边缘宽度约有一公分(1/2 英吋),表示酒的体容(body)比较淡,或是成熟的葡萄酒。
将酒杯倾斜是检视精细度和各种颜色变化的最佳途径,同时注意酒眼与酒缘之间的色调与饱和度的差异。
以概括性的说法,本色边缘(Rim proper)狭窄时,表示葡萄酒之酒龄浅,及拥有相当的精华物(extract),以果粒小而皮厚之葡萄酿制而成,葡萄之生长地方受到干燥、阳光充足之大自然环境的影响。酒体本色边缘(Rim proper)较宽时,酒的色素、精华物较少,暗示着葡萄酒酦酵时葡萄果实破皮的比率偏高,流出的汁液多。但也可能是葡萄来自高产量的葡萄树藤,或薄皮的葡萄果实,或来自较寒冷的地区,或葡萄之果实生长期遇上了多雨气候所导致。
新酿红葡萄酒之边缘色泽刚开始总是呈现带青色、带蓝色或带有紫色之色韵,然后随着酒龄转化成红色,再转成砖红色。葡萄酒的酒眼(eye)或酒窝(bowl)是观察色调主要的重点。普遍的来说,但非绝对,颜色深沈之葡萄酒,产自于纬度靠近赤道的葡萄产区(南、北半球皆然),或较佳之年份(日照时数较长且热),而且这种色泽深的葡萄酒,令人可预测到在舌间有着强烈、劲道的口感印象。换言之;颜色较浅的葡萄酒,酒质可能比较细致优雅,通常来自离赤道较远的葡萄产区,或较寒冷之产区,亦或欠缺阳光照射的葡萄年。Viscosity、Legs and Beads 黏性、酒脚(挂杯)和酒泡或酒珠
黏性:酒脚(挂杯)、泪珠、(弧形 / 拱形)让葡萄酒以圆形状旋转,使酒液在杯里上扬,当酒液完全的静止后,此时,有些酒液会附着于杯子的内侧,并且凝聚成小酒滴往下回流。小酒滴比较浓稠或黏性较高者,可能表示酒精的含量及 / 或酦酵后的天然含糖量比例较高,泪珠似的酒滴数量愈多,滞留的时间会愈长,这些都是检测葡萄酒黏性的途径。无论如何,当我们查视葡萄酒之外观时,酒杯的表面和杯子本身的干净与否,都是影响这些判断的参考因素,而这种以葡萄酒外观,作为酒精及黏性指标的方式,并非完全可信赖的,唯一可信赖的是静置酒杯,如此可让酒液里的微分子,经由挥发过程带出短暂的细致气味。尤其是浅龄葡萄酒之葡萄品种固有的品种特色,在这种静置的状态下,清晰可辨。
旋转酒杯后:葡萄酒经由旋转杯子的动作后,使得葡萄酒之蒸发量增加,更促使酒液里各种不同的微分子显现出来。在这个阶段所释出的气味,不论是精致的或是粗糙的,都会很显着的散发出来,而且弥漫整个酒杯。但对于浅龄葡萄酒,似乎比较不容易唤醒它沉默的气味,所以要定论它的气味比较困难。简单型态之葡萄酒(simple wines),在旋转与静置之交互动作后,并不会有太多的变化与差别。有些葡萄酒的确带有令人感兴趣的气味,可惜不怎么稳定,虽然气味会有所进展,只是在数秒之间稍纵即逝。
大力摇荡之后:假如葡萄酒的酒性过于沉默(dumb)或封闭(closed),或者发现酒液里似乎隐藏不佳的气味时,以这种激烈的大动作摇动酒杯,去印证不易显露出的气味。摇荡酒杯时,用手掌盖住杯口,以防止酒液从酒杯里泼洒出来。鼻与酒杯 Nose and glass
你可能为了感受葡萄酒的第二种类气息,将鼻子置于酒杯里,以达到闻气的目的,那么可尝试以下的变化方式闻酒气: •
将酒杯倾斜,鼻孔靠近酒杯的下缘内侧。杯子的下缘处接近酒液之表面,可嗅到较重、猛烈的酒气。2、将酒杯倾斜,鼻孔靠近酒杯的上缘。在这个位置可闻到比较清淡、雅致、与纤细的气味。、鼻孔轮替闻气。这种讲法似乎有些荒谬,可是有些人两个鼻孔对于气味的敏感度不同,所以有些时候可 “ 捕捉 ” 到酒杯所溢出的香气。
如何嗅葡萄酒 How to “nose” a wine
每个人习性以及嗅觉敏感度皆有不同,而总会发现自己最佳的闻气方法。以下是专家提供之建议与闻气方法。
短暂、干净利落的以鼻吸气,这是以短时间内去感觉或证实葡萄酒瑕疵的方法,比如可嗅出过量的二氧化硫。•
深、长时间的吸气,可强烈的感受到初期的气味,但是以这种方法尝试的过度,会使人产生挫折感。•
短暂,和缓的闻气,经常会使得显现的气味稍纵即逝,但是却属很舒服的一种方法。
长时间、和缓的吸气,是一种享受葡萄酒微妙气息的最佳方式。如果以强迫的方式吸气,可能还会导致头痛,而且嗅觉很快的就疲乏,这种方式最好少用。
无论使用哪一种方法闻气,都必须专注地识别葡萄酒所释出的气味,并试着描述和说明气味的特色,嗅觉有它的高峰期,在嗅觉之敏锐度逐渐消失时,应休息片刻,使嗅觉恢复它的敏感度。长时间、坚持的不断的强迫式闻气是没有意义的。持酒杯之方法(杯脚与杯底)
握持酒杯的杯脚,是最简单的一种方法。这种方法可很简单的倾斜酒杯,观察酒的颜色以及旋转酒杯里的酒液。握持酒杯的杯底,许多人发现这种方法,能更轻易的操控酒杯,而且更有舒适感。如何使用酒杯 How to use your glass
旋转酒杯。请跟着以下所说明的方式,尝试如何旋转酒杯。一旦知道如何旋转酒杯后,您会在不知不觉中将杯子旋转的相当轻松,而且动作优雅。
除非你想要温热杯子里的酒液,所以用手掌托住杯体(盆),不然以手拿酒杯的杯脚或杯底,将杯脚置于拇指和一只或二只手指中间轻握,如此可避免导温。这种方法是最轻松的拿杯法。
若你是右手持杯者,你会发现以反时针方向旋转杯子,可轻松的作出这个动作,假如你是左撇子,可以试着以顺时针方向旋转杯子。
假如还不习惯旋转酒杯,可将杯子先置放于桌面,练习旋转,直到流畅,然后再腾空旋转杯子就没什么问题了。
将酒杯静置于桌面上,以手轻轻的拿着杯脚,用轻松从容的方式开始旋转杯子,以几乎只有数毫米的距离,依圆形方式移动杯底。
一旦开始旋转,以最小、最温柔的动作继续旋转杯子,让杯里的葡萄酒作圆周循环回转,并使酒液向杯子的上方升起。之后;稍微加些力道摇动酒杯,可使杯子里的酒液旋转的幅度与速度加快。如此一来,手部的移动范围可以减小,也更容易地持续这个旋转的动作。离开桌面后腾空的动作也是一样不变,只是没有让杯子置放的静止的桌面而已,不少品酒专家发现持握着酒杯的杯脚,可让杯子的操控性更佳。味觉与触觉 TASTE AND TOUCH
虽然葡萄酒之闻气,占品酒很大的比率,然而却无法取代真正的喝酒,事实上;葡萄酒喝入口内,口中的温暖状态,可使葡萄酒的气味有所升华,口内之葡萄酒仿如会自动的陈述它的故事与内涵。品酒人无法一次就能集中所有的感觉去感受葡萄酒,也因此必须运用对味觉采取焦点式的注意力品鉴葡萄酒,如此功效会比较显着。味觉 Tastes
葡萄酒口内品尝比起闻酒香单纯,我们可以将甜、酸、苦、咸,分别的隔开,因为这些不同的味觉感应区,分布在舌头不一样的位置,每次可集中注意力体会其中的一种味觉。味觉区之分布如下: 甜味区(菌状味蕾):位于舌头部位的尖端;
咸味区(丝状味蕾):位于舌头的前缘,甜味区稍后面两侧位置; 酸味区(荷叶状味蕾):比咸味区稍后,舌头两边的位置; 苦味区(突状 / 乳头状味蕾):舌头最后面中间的地方。了解味觉的分布可使品酒更容易。
其它的感官部位还包括,脸颊、舌根、颊层(Baccal floor)、齿龈 / 牙床。
所谓的第一印象(First Impression),出现在品酒时的第一个二、三秒间,通常令人感到舒畅宜人,此外;酒的香气,和若无似有的甜味,也都在此时可察觉,其主要的成因是酒精作用。然后,其它的味道渐渐的浮现,并覆盖甜味,最后酸味与苦味占据了整个味觉,时间长达约 8-10 秒左右。品质优异之葡萄酒,在结束(Finish)之阶段,方能有宜人、舒畅之表现。两个特别敏感的位置 Two super sensitive spots
在舌头的两侧,有个非常集中且敏感的味蕾,就在舌头后方的外面及上面之边缘,两个臼齿正后端位置。试着涂上一少量的糖,可感受到强烈的甜味。这个敏感味蕾不限制于那个特定的主要的味觉。所以,我们品尝葡萄酒时,要确定葡萄酒液分布在口内的每个地方,并尽可能地均匀的散布于整个的舌头上。
你可以做这样的比较,浅尝一口质地佳的葡萄酒,并迅速的将之吞下;以及喝一小口葡萄酒,让葡萄酒在口内停留,并让舌头在口内转动,使酒液接触口腔的上颚、脸颊、舌面、舌下、上、下牙龈等位置,然后吞下葡萄酒。如此;你会了解,品酒时对葡萄酒有多用心,可获得的强烈感就有多少。触觉 Touch
舌头有四个基本的味觉,此外;与舌头相关的范畴还有触感,这些包括:收敛性(astringency)、体容(body)、质地(texture)、和二氧化碳所引起的刺痛(carbon dioxide prickle)。一次应品尝多少的酒量 How much wine to take 当品鉴一瓶昂贵之葡萄酒时,斟入你酒杯里的葡萄酒大概只有 35cl。
或许感觉这个量很少,事实上;不需要以大口的方式喝入口中,而且你会发现可进行 6-8 次的味觉品鉴。可是,如果喝入口中的酒量过少,可能无法满足口内所有的味蕾。
葡萄酒喝入口中,迅速的被唾液稀释,你可能留意的部分是葡萄酒的粗涩感、酒酸、单宁以及酒精,而非果味。假如一次喝入口中的量太多,除了不雅观之外,口内的唾液也无法应付过多的葡萄酒。实务经验告诉我们,最佳的品酒量约一大茶匙(5-6 cl)。口腔里的动作 What to do with it 葡萄酒喝入口中后,舌头以缓慢的动作搅动,让葡萄酒液充分的与舌头、上颚、下颚、脸颊内侧,以及舌根的位置(舌头后面部分)接触。
葡萄酒经过舌头咀嚼后,吞下一至二小口,然后吸入一些空气到口中,使葡萄酒的芳香度更加强烈。(吸气时口的形状,类似发英文字母的 “F”)当葡萄酒在口内的各个味觉感应区起作用,此时专注的去体会并且记录葡萄酒的结构(酒精、酒酸、单宁酸等),以及真实的味道,再吞下少量之葡萄酒后,吐出留存在口内的葡萄酒。
吐出葡萄酒时需果断地一鼓作气,将之吐出,不然会有尴尬的留口水之窘状出现。缩起嘴唇并噘嘴,让嘴唇的肌肉有些僵硬,然后以咽喉当作压缩机般的将酒吐出。
假如无法作的纯熟,那就多多地练习吧!如此方能让吐出的酒对准目标,同时吐出酒液时,酒的轨线才会完美。应 “ 咀嚼 ” 多久的时间 How long to “chew” the wine 根据喝入口中葡萄酒的量与酒质的优劣而定。专家们建议,葡萄酒留置口中的时间约 15 到 20 秒钟,然后再将葡萄酒吐出。如果葡萄酒含在口中的时间过久,那么葡萄酒会逐渐的被唾液稀释,或者葡萄酒渐渐的吞进喉咙里。结束与尾韵 Finish and aftertaste
这个问题经常是争论的焦点,当吐出鼻腔与口内的气之后,味道与香气可留存多久的时间?品酒专家们经常被问及 “finish”(结束)、“aftertaste”(尾韵)、“length”(长度)这三个专业用语的特点与差异性?诚然; “aftertaste”(尾韵)是 “finish”(结束)的一个部分,而 “length”(长度)兼具说明两者的共通的专业用语。
当开始仔细描述品酒之过程时,葡萄酒接触到时舌头之初,这个开始阶段之专用语是 “attack”(攻击),有意思吧!好像品酒人全副武装地应付葡萄酒对我们进行攻击,接着就是 “development”(进展)或 “evolution”(推进),然后进入 “finish”(结束)之状态。
结束是当吞下或吐出葡萄酒那一刻开始,所有的品酒感觉,这些包括对于葡萄酒质地的味道以及气味之感受。如果感觉是属于两极化的,有可能是葡萄酒的酒酸(acid)或单宁(tannic),过于坚硬(hard)或者太过柔弱所导致。假如存留在口内是属于过于坚硬、粗糙的感觉,那么会破坏或控制整个 “aftertaste”(尾韵)的过程;若是存留在口内是属于过度柔软的感觉,好像缺少某种支撑物,会使 “aftertaste”(尾韵)之过程显得短绌、无力。
“aftertaste”(尾韵)表示将葡萄酒吞下后,气味及味道持续存留的感觉(无关酒的质地),而 “aftertaste”(尾韵)建立在整个 “finish”(结束)的部分过程之上。长度(Length)说明整个结束的过程,以及在感觉上时间之长短。
对于一般消费者和专家在品鉴葡萄酒时,最大的落差,是前者试图找寻一些令人愉快,和赞美之词,而后者,则是寻找葡萄酒的缺点、瑕疵、并给予某些的责难、数落。Arpad Haraszthy亚贝-哈瑞斯逖1889 加州葡萄酒与葡萄树,1889(葡萄酒语汇)How Much To Write?应该写下多少内容?
简单型之葡萄,做简单的纪录,优异之葡萄酒,当然,也可以采取简易的方式记载品酒的内容,但有可能因为酒的品质非常的美好,诱使你记录更都的内容。记录的内容文字,主要是让你日后可以回顾酒的种种。也许你在评估酒的观念上,只想记载酒的好坏,可能只留下简单扼要的 “ 优 ”、“ 劣 ” 等只字词组。也未尝不可。
假如你想回忆特别优异葡萄酒的好,对于初始记录之品酒内容,太多应好过太少,到时或多或少总是会有些许的帮助,同时你也可试着扩大自己活泼、生动的词汇,日后再行删除或增加适用品酒字汇。如何填写纪录表 What To Write
在下面的波尔多中级酒庄的品酒表实例中,可看到贫乏的和优越的品酒表之填写记录,里头纪录着葡萄酒的评语及解析。
可自行地设计品酒表,并将之印制好。一瓶葡萄酒使用一张品酒表(如此可适切的做好指针记录),避免同时将纸张的两面印在一块儿,如此才有足够的空白地方,可供日后再增加新的纪录。
