Know About the Do’s and Don’ts of Wine Tour New Zealand Diaries

Wine tasting is an art that needs to be performed with the right skills and knowledge. To hold the glasses and to raise a toast is all about telling the beautiful story of relishing wine and its history. Your Wine Tour New Zealand diaries should include all the fascinating experiences along with the do’s and don’t’s so that when people read about it they know every wonderful detail of the journey. 

The Do’s and Don’ts:

Do always have an open mind when tasting wine. You may not like the taste of any particular wine in the past but you never know when that wine may surprise you. Do not keep any filters in your mind, instead gear up to taste a wide range of wines. However, don’t wear perfumes when you are on a Winery Auckland tour. If you are wearing an aftershave or a strong perfume then that can spoil the tender elements involved in the wine tasting process. 

Do dump or spit especially if you taste too many wines on a single day. Take with yourself spittoons so that your tongue feels fresh and your experience is more enriching. Another trick to remember is don’t hold the wine glass by the bowl. Hold the stem since it will avoid you from getting fingerprints on the glass. This impacts the wine temperature and also obscures the view of the content inside. 

Do clean your palate before each time a new variety of wine is poured for tasting. After you have tasted the previous wine, swill your glass before you make a fresh pour. Don’t drink too much and also not too fast. Intoxicated drinkers have the habit of drinking too much and spoiling the mood. Do not be one of them. The process of tasting wine includes first looking at the wine, then swirling it, smelling it, sipping it, and so on. 

With the above do’s and don’ts, you can surely make your wine tasting tour a memorable one.
