What is the Importance of Swishing Wine in Your Mouth?

I’m Terry Thomas. I’m here on ExpertVillage.com to bring you a little about the appreciation of wine. We talked about the enjoyment of wine and we talked about swirling the glass and what happens here as far as sniffing and we talked about the temperature. Another aspect of the enjoyment of wine that sometimes looks a little peculiar, but it indeed does help you determine – I’d say a lot of the good characteristics you’re looking for in the wine is – and what I did is swishing the wine around all in my mouth, I’m covering all the areas, all the receptors on my tongue and then by holding the wine in the front of my mouth and drawing it in, it’s similar to having the layer on the outside – I bring a layer of wine and mist all around in my mouth and get everything that’s there. So and then sometimes it looks a little funny, sounds a little funny – go for it.
