Wine Color Analysis

Wine color analysis involves examining a wine’s hue, intensity, and clarity to gather information about its age, grape variety, and vinification process. By observing the color, from pale straw to deep ruby, tasters can infer factors like oxidation, grape type, and fermentation. This visual assessment helps guide expectations about aroma, taste, and quality. Proper lighting and sometimes swirling the wine enhance the observation, providing valuable insights that complement the wine’s flavor profile and overall character.
