Help identify the quality of this red wine, how to taste the quality of red wine

French wine classification is roughly divided into: AOC, (ADQS), ADP, ADT, four grades.

Red wines with the AOC mark are all passable wines, and wines from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan must comply with this standard. On top of the AOC, Bordeaux and Burgundy have also derived their own grading systems, such as the classification of Bordeaux has two levels above the AOC, the highest level is the Grand Cru, followed by the Star Class (Cru Bourgeois); Burgundy is classified above the AOC as the highest Grand Cru and the second as Premier Cru.

Below the AOC level, there are two levels: VDP and VDT. VDP means fine table wine, and the words vin de pay on the bottle belong to one level, which is lower than AOC, but there are also many high-quality and inexpensive products, normally speaking, wine with this mark should not be sold too expensive, not more than 120 yuan; The lowest grade is the VDT daily table wine, which has the words Vin de Table on the bottle, which is synonymous with cheap wines. I think this grade of wine belongs to the kind of consumers who drink wine every day in France, and most of the domestic fans can't reach this level, so it is recommended not to consider it.

The whole classification system is also the rules of the game for the entire French wine industry, in short, AOC, which is the label of the wine origin on the wine label, and the three words translate to appellation + origin + controlee, and the filling in of the intermediate origin title is very strictly restricted in France.

According to the rules, the smaller the geographical scope of the "appellation" sandwiched in between, the higher the wine, the largest of which are the 10 appellations, such as Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Champagne, etc., and then cities, towns, villages and even a certain estate (workshop). According to the law, if a wine is to be named after a manor (workshop), it needs to be recognized by law. Then you can put the label on the label with the logo of Appellation + the name of the workshop + Controlee, which is an AOC level wine, that is, a wine with a certain origin, the place of birth and the month of origin are accurate, and the more advanced the wine.

If the taste is sour, it is bad.

How to taste good or bad wine:

1. Place the glass in front of the white background, wait for the light source to be sufficient, tilt the wine glass slightly outward, and observe through the wine body to see if there are sawdust or impurities in the red wine, and the high-quality red wine is clear.

2. If the color of the wine is purple-red, it means that the age of the wine is relatively recent, and the color of the red wine will gradually fade with time, when it is young, it is dark red with purple, it will gradually turn to red or cherry red, and then turn to red orange-red or brick-red, and finally it is reddish-brown, and the color of the red wine is reddish-brown.

3. High-quality red wine smells thick and has a mellow aroma. During the life cycle of a wine, the aromas of the wine are different at different times, the initial aroma is the taste of the wine itself, the second stage is the aroma produced during the winemaking process, such as woody and smoky notes, and the third stage is the aroma produced after ripening. Overall, the aroma is related to the grape variety, the vinification method, the age of the wine and even the soil.

Look at the appellation, look at the winery (is the appellation a high-quality appellation?) Whether the winery is a well-known big winery or a boutique well-known small winery).

Look at the variety, look at the hierarchy.

Drink and drink, the first reaction of the first sip is whether you think it tastes good or not, that's the taste.

What are the factors that determine the quality of red wine?

The quality of a wine is often judged by its ripeness, intensity, concentration, balance and the length of the finish. For example, a high-quality wine should have at least ripe and easy-to-eat tannins with well-expressed flavor compounds. A mediocre red wine is either sparse, too acidic, or too bitter?

Balance means that the various taste elements in a wine are not only harmonious, but also complement each other, and no one element in the taste is particularly prominent. For example, overly acidic, tannic or oaky notes are not an indication of a wine's balance.

The length of the aftertaste refers to the amount of time the flavor of the wine stays in the mouth after it has been swallowed or spit out. The aftertaste of a good wine is usually long-lasting, pleasant, and complex. In other words, within a minute of swallowing or spitting out a good wine, the drinker can still feel the excellent quality of the wine.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the factors related to the quality of the wine include its potential ability, its typicality, its value for money, its suitability for food pairing, and its unique style.

The "pros and cons" of red wine should be combined with one's own feelings.

The selection of wine must go through the process of observing and judging the quality. While a good tasting experience can quickly identify the quality and subtleties of a wine, it is also important for a specific drinker to genuinely enjoy and enjoy a particular wine.
