    About this ebook

    The world of wine has its own language with terms describing hues, highlights and scents that are not immediately understandable. If you are not an expert sommelier, you don’t certainly have a variety of adjectives that grants a correct exposure and description of the organoleptic qualities of wines. As it is nice to use poetic expressions to describe a wine on a night out with friends or on a wine tasting, this short book is what you need. It provides tools and examples for the description of various types of wines: sparkling, white, red and rosé. You’ll be able to speak as a professional and impress the people around you.

    The author is not giving geographical indications about wines, just words that will help you to better describe the visual and olfactory sensations that each wine gives us, as all the five senses are involved when you drink wine.
