Question 1

What is a wine profile?

Accepted Answer

A wine profile sums up the flavour traits you're drawn to – body, acidity, tannin, fruit and how adventurous you are. It makes choosing wine you'll actually like easier than guessing.

Question 2

How do I know which wine I like?

Accepted Answer

Start from four axes: light or bold, dry or fruity, soft or grippy (tannin), and classic or experimental? The test sets them for you and translates them into concrete styles and regions.

Question 3

What do tannins mean?

Accepted Answer

Tannins are compounds from grape skins, seeds and oak that give a grippy, drying feel in the mouth – clearest in young reds like Barolo and Bordeaux. Lots of tannin reads as structure; little tannin feels soft and easy-drinking.
