1. Sight: Look at the color, clarity, and level of viscosity in the glass.
2. Swirl: Swirl the glass to oxygenate the wine in order to assess the aroma.
3. Smell: Bring the glass to your nose and take a few deep breaths to gather all the aromas from the wine.
4. Taste: Take a sip and notice its weight on the tongue, the taste, acidity and tannins, any nuances of spices, sweetness and bitterness.
5. Spit or swallow: Depending on the purpose the choice is yours.
6. Try the food pairing: Pay attention to how the flavors interact with a food pairing.
