If you’re interested in wine tasting Melbourne has plenty of stores and nearby wineries offering the chance to try a wine before buying. If it’s your first wine tasting, there are some things you definitely shouldn’t do. Firstly, don’t smoke while you’re there, or wear perfume or cologne; part of the process is smelling the wine before tasting. Remember not to be too vocal in your opinion of the wine; it’s okay to discuss and give your thoughts, although you can also keep them to yourself. Don’t gulp the wine down, or pour your own glass. Remember that you’ll potentially be tasting several different wines and you don’t want to appear tipsy. And always be open to trying new wines; to many wine tasters, part of the appeal is sampling a wine that they otherwise would not buy or aren’t familiar with.
