After tasting the wine, take
a moment to value its overall flavour and balance. Is the taste appropriate
for that type of wine? If the wine is very dry, is it supposed to be?
Some serious wine
connoisseurs assign a point score to a wine to determine its quality.
While this method can be useful, it is in no way necessary to determine
a quality wine. The more different wines you try, and the more attention
you pay to each wine, the better you will become at ascertaining and
describing each wine's characteristics.
