Maximizing the Aroma of Wine

I’m Terry Thomas. I’m here on ExpertVillage.com to bring you a little about the appreciation of wine. Now it also, you see people swirl wine by far the most enjoyable of all the aesthetics in the wine is the smell, the aroma. And what we’re doing in swirling this we’re bringing the wine with the centrifugal force we’re bringing the wine high up on the side of the glass. You can just see it coming, twirling and coming almost all up to the rim, I’m almost spilling it. And it leaves a layer of wine which in turn aerates quickly. The alcohol helps out a little bit, but just the wine itself aerates and brings a lot, makes available a lot of the great aromas, just brings them all up and you twirl it and get your nose down in it, you’re going to get it all.
