If you can’t taste tannin, does that count as drinking red wine? what does that mean

The brand LEESON red wine from Yuncang Winery shared that in the world of wine, there is a popular saying: "If you understand the tannin in wine, you can start drinking wine." It can be seen that tannin is indispensable for wine. It is not an exaggeration to regard tannin as the backbone of wine.

Many friends stay away from wine because of the bitter taste produced by tannins in wine. Everyone hopes that life can be sweetened, and they don't want to eat unpalatable food. Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shared that indeed, the biggest feature of wine is sour, but the drink is sweet. Why do so many wine enthusiasts choose bitter red wines over sweet and refreshing drinks?

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine shared that this is because people know that the astringent substance - tannin, is good for the human body, but the high sugar and high calorie content of the drink is not very good for the body.

So, knowing the benefits of tannin to people, how to drink and understand tannin to really enter the door of wine?

Tannins are found in grape skins, seeds, and roots, as well as in the oak barrels in which they are aged. Well-known red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, which are often aged in oak barrels, have very high levels of tannins themselves.

The tannins that you feel when drinking wine are some elegant, some green, some astringent, some make the tongue numb, and some are as smooth and soft as silk. When tasting wine correctly, not all tannin impressions are "bitter" and "astringent". Experienced tasters will feel tannin from two aspects, one is the content and the other is the quality. For example, after taking a sip of wine, you can feel the fine and dense astringency covering the entire mouth, but you won’t find it particularly unacceptable. Undoubtedly, this is a wine with rich tannins and a balanced flavor. If the wine is on the palate, astringent and finely grained, it must be a young, quality wine . If the tannins in your mouth feel harsh, difficult to swallow, or even very bitter, it means that the quality of the wine is average.

Although the level of tannin cannot ultimately determine the quality of a wine, the quality of the wine can be judged by whether the taste of tannin is comfortable or not. Therefore, many times people regard the feeling of tannin in wine as an important indicator to evaluate whether a wine is of high quality. The above Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shared, welcome to communicate and share.
