The “Bad Wine”
It is much easier to explain what is considered bad wine than to give the definition of good wine. “Bad” wine is one that immediately shows disadvantages, which make it unpleasant in taste and even unsuitable for consumption. The wine lover, even if he is a beginner, discovers it quite easily.
A cloudy wine, an unsuitable nose with unpleasant odors, an aggressive acidity, a hot feeling of alcohol, an intense astringency, a bad taste and so on. These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use at least once. The most common causes of such phenomena are the late or early harvest, the poorly cared for winemaking, the cultivation of grapes that was done carelessly or that was not adapted to the quality of the raw material.
However, the lack of disadvantages is not the only condition for the production of a good wine. A technically good wine can prove to be ordinary, because it can not cause the slightest pleasure, the slightest emotion.
