Wine Basics

Learning some wine basics is an easy process that I will happily guide you through. All it takes is a little know-how and some information to get you started. Check out my wine beginners guide below. Let me know if it’s any help to you in the comments section and maybe I’ll create a second guide. Happy drinking, ladies!

The Reds- The red most common types of wine include Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Whites- The most common types of white wine by comparison are Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay.

Aroma Or Bouquet- These terms generally reference the scent of the wine. Bouquet applies to older wines. Smell that oaky aroma?

Light Bodied- Bodied references the weight of the wine, which is attributed to the wine’s alcohol content. A light bodied wine means there is less alcohol content while a medium-bodied or full-bodied wine would suggest there is more weight.

Swirling- Swirling isn’t just a nervous habit. It helps to improve the flavor of your wine so be sure to swirl every so often while taking sips of your favorite wine.
