How to Describe Wine Without Sounding Like a Weirdo?
Let’s face it:
Describing wine feels like trying to explain a dream.
You know what it feels like. You just… sound like a haunted fruit basket when you say it out loud.
Enter the moment:
“How do I describe wine without sounding weird?”
said every normal person holding a glass and mild identity crisis.
And then she hits us with:
“Start with fruit, body, acidity. End with confidence. And no — ‘It tastes like wine’ doesn’t count.”
Look. We’ve all been there.
You take a sip. You panic. You blurt out: “It’s… red?”
Let’s break it down, real-world style:
Fruit = what kind? Juicy cherry? Dried fig? Lemon rind in a sunbeam?
Body = how heavy is it? Like oat milk? Whole milk? Cream you’d cry into?
Acidity = how sharp is the snap? Think lime vs. plush peach.
Confidence = say it like it’s true. Because for you, it is.
No one is grading you.
Wine isn’t a test.
It’s a love language in liquid form.
Speak it how you speak.
(And if all else fails, say:
"It reminds me of the last good day I didn’t realize was the last good day."
Nobody argues with that.)
