WINE TIPS

Nose, bouquet, aroma or fragrance are all terms that describe how the wine smells to you. Does it remind you of a floral scent or grassy like a freshly mown lawn? Or it may come across as fruity, like a cherry, strawberry or melon smells.

Imagine yourself in nature and see if the scent is something growing around you, like eucalyptus. Or imagine yourself in the produce section of your local supermarket. Does the wine make you feel like you are standing near a bushel of pears or oranges? Or does it take you to the sweets shop, reminding you of nuts, chocolate, coffee or butterscotch? Or it may just smell like grapes!

When trying a new wine, write down whatever associations you sense to help you remember the scent!
