Episode 1 – How to taste wine
Welcome to Wine with Andy! Wine tasting might seem like a weird world of funny descriptions, but it’s actually something that anyone can get into, and that will help you understand more about what you like and why you like it. This series of videos is an introduction to wine and wine tasting, using wines you can pick up from the supermarket. In this video we’re starting with the basics – how to go about tasting, rather than drinking, a wine!
