01Which observation belongs mainly to aroma?

A peach-like smell. A drying feeling on the gums. The liquid feels heavy.

02Why can smell seem to come from the mouth?

Smell only works before sipping. Aromas can reach the nose from the mouth. The tongue identifies every fruit.

03What does a fruity smell establish about sweetness?

It proves the wine is sweet. It proves the wine contains fruit juice. It does not establish the sugar level.

04Which tongue diagram should we avoid?

Exclusive regions assigned to each basic taste. An illustration showing a tongue. A diagram showing the mouth and nose.

05A sugar-water comparison tastes sweeter but not heavier. Is that valid?

No; body means sugar. Yes; the two judgments need not change together. No; repeat until the weight changes.

Serious wine knowledge.
Questionable levels of seriousness.

Taste responsibly. Spitting is encouraged. Transport plans beat tasting notes.
