Episode Summary: In Episode 9 of the Wine Educate Podcast, Joanne Close explores how external factors can significantly impact your wine tasting experience. From lighting and temperature to the glassware you use, creating a proper tasting environment is essential for both objective analysis and enjoyment. Designed especially for WSET students, this episode emphasizes the importance of preparing both your setting and yourself to maximize tasting accuracy and success.

Resources Mentioned in the Episode: What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  1. Why Your Tasting Environment Matters:

    • How external factors like smells, sounds, and distractions influence your perception of wine.

    • The importance of creating a neutral, consistent space for tasting.

  2. The Ideal Tasting Environment:

    • Neutral Space: Avoid distractions, strong odors (e.g., perfumes, food), and scented items.

    • Lighting: Use natural or white light to evaluate wine appearance properly.

    • Temperature: Maintain a comfortable room temperature (~68°F) and serve wine at its ideal temperature.

    • Space: Ensure adequate room for glasses, notes, and comfortable seating.

  3. Preparing Yourself for Tasting:

    • Stay hydrated: Dehydration reduces saliva production, affects aroma detection, and exaggerates alcohol perception.

    • Avoid palate disruptors: Neutralize your palate by drinking water or eating plain crackers before tasting.

  4. Glassware Tips:

    • Use clean, unscented glassware to avoid unwanted aromas.

    • Suitable shapes like ISO standard tasting glasses help focus aromas and maintain consistency.

  5. Practical Tips for Success:

    • Why spitting during tastings helps with clarity and focus (hint: stay tuned for the next episode).

    • The importance of standardizing your tasting practices for WSET success.

Homework for This Week:
  • Assess your current tasting environment.

  • Identify a few simple changes to create a more neutral and conducive space for wine tasting.
