	Wine tasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wine tasting is the sensory evaluation of wine, encompassing more than taste, but also mouthfeel, aroma, and colour.
		To assess a wine's quality, one must gauge its complexity of aroma and flavour, determine the intensity of the aroma and flavour, check that the flavours and structural elements — such as acid, tannin and alcoholic strength — are well balanced, and finally see how long the wine persists in the mouth after tasting.
		Many professional wine tasters, such as sommeliers or buyers for retailers, look for characteristics in the wine which are desirable to wine drinkers or which indicate that the wine is likely to sell or mature well.
