Aromas Of The Wine Note The Presence Glass
318 words

volatile chemicals of the wine into the air.
Second, stop swirling. Insert your nose into the
glass and inhale by taking quick, full sniffs.
Some people prefer to take short sniffs, some
prefer to just stick their nose in and leave it
there for a while....
