The five dimensions that constitute wine

The brand LEESON red wine from Yuncang Winery shared that the reason why wine attracts many lovers to taste and learn is because of its richness. It has layers, connotations, styles, and textures, which together create the multi-dimensional characteristics of wine. Therefore, to really learn how to taste wine is inseparable from the understanding and learning of its dimensions. These dimensions are sweetness, tannin, acidity, alcohol, and body.

Sweetness: Refers to the sugar content of the wine. When the sweetness in the wine reaches 7g/l, it will be obviously sweet, and the sweetness lower than 7g/l will not feel obvious. The sweetness in most white wines is less than 2g/l , so it doesn't taste sweet. Sugar imparts body, richness, smoothness, body and body to wine. Sweetness can mask bitterness, acidity and astringency.

Tannins: The astringent tingling sensation in wine. The level of tannin depends on the grape variety and brewing method. If it is aged red wine, it generally has high tannin content. The astringency of tannins and the sweetness and acidity in the wine form a good balance, so that people can taste layered and not monotonous.

Acidity: The backbone of wine comes from the acidity of the wine grape itself, or it may be tartaric acid, malic acid, etc. added during the winemaking process. Grape varieties in cool places have relatively high acidity, and the wine produced has higher acidity. Compared with red wine, white wine has higher acidity. Acidity has a great influence on the color, balance and taste of wine. sweetness and bitterness.

Alcohol: During the fermentation process, the sugar in the fruit is converted into alcohol by the yeast. The higher the sugar content of the grapes, the higher the corresponding alcohol. High-quality wines have moderate alcohol content, neither too low nor too high. Because the alcohol is too low to drink, it will taste bland, and the alcohol to be too high will cause a burning sensation, so the balance is the best.

Wine body: refers to the performance of wine in terms of taste, weight and texture. Generally, there are light, medium, full, etc. The simple understanding is the thickness of the wine. The performance of the wine is full-bodied, and the performance of the light-bodied wine is refreshing. The body of wine is directly proportional to the amount of residual sugar, glycerin and alcohol in the wine.

To judge whether a wine is good or bad, it is necessary to comprehensively taste these five dimensions. Any single item is not enough to explain the quality of a wine. Only when the five dimensions are relatively balanced can it be said that it is a flavor. Unique and rich wine.
