Ever hear someone call a wine “elegant” or “concentrated” and just nod along? We’ve all been there…

In this post, I’m breaking down even more of the red wine terms you’ll hear all the time… and what they actually mean in the glass.

Once you understand the language, you enjoy the wine more.

• Save this for your next bottle, it’ll make tastings, wine lists and conversations a whole lot clearer 🍷

This carousel breaks down the most common flavour and aroma terms you’ll hear when drinking or talking about red wine, in plain English, with examples you can actually picture in the glass.

• You hear these words all the time when people talk about red wine and if you’ve ever nodded along while someone talked about tannins, body or structure… this one’s for you.

This is Part 1 of a new red wine terminology series, breaking down the language of wine into simple, practical ideas you can feel in the glass, not just read on a label.

These are the red wine terms you hear all the time, explained in a way that actually makes sense when you’re holding a glass, not a textbook. Once you get these, red wine clicks into place very quickly 🍷

Get • 🍷 Master the Basics of Wine Tasting! Want to level up your wine game? Let’s break it down into 4 easy steps to sip like a pro! 👇

🔍 1. LOOK Color tells a story! From pale lemon to deep garnet, wine’s hue reveals its age, grape variety, and even climate. Pro Tip: Hold your glass against a white background for the clearest view.

👃 2. SMELL Your nose is the ultimate wine detective! 🍇 Primary aromas: Fruity, floral, or herbal? Straight from the grape! 🛢️ Secondary aromas: Toasty, creamy, or nutty? Thank fermentation for that. 🍄 Tertiary aromas: Leather, mushroom, or smoke? Aging brings the drama.

👅 3. TASTE Balance, body, and boldness! Wine’s magic comes from how sweetness, acidity, tannins, and alcohol dance on your palate.

🤔 4. THINK Now, put it all together: Did the wine surprise you? Did it match its aroma? Is it a wine you’d want again — or something new to check off your list?

Remember, there’s no “wrong” conclusion—just your personal taste!
