“Legs” or “Tears”: When you swirl your glass of wine, you might notice streaks running down the sides. These are often referred to as the “legs” or “tears” of the wine. They can give you some indication about the alcohol or sugar content, with thicker, slower legs indicating a higher content.

Old World vs. New World: These are terms used to differentiate wines that come from traditional wine-producing regions (Old World) such as France, Italy, and Spain, versus those that come from newer wine industries in regions like the United States, Australia, and South America (New World). The terms can also describe differences in winemaking style.

Varietal vs. Blend: Some wines are made from a single grape variety, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, and are known as varietals. Others are a blend of different grape varieties.

Bottle Shapes: The shape of a wine bottle can often hint at its type or origin. For example, tall, slender bottles are often used for Riesling, while high-shouldered, shorter bottles are traditionally used for Bordeaux wines.

Tasting Order: When tasting multiple wines, the general rule is to go from light to dark, dry to sweet, and young to old. This helps to keep your palate fresh and prevent stronger wines from overpowering the lighter ones.
