The Art of Wine Appreciation at All Boys' School

A Brief History of Wine

Wine has been an integral part of human culture for thousands of years, with evidence of wine production dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece.

The art of winemaking was refined by the Romans, who developed techniques that are still used today. From there, wine spread throughout Europe, becoming a staple of French, Italian, and Spanish cuisine.

The Science Behind Wine Tasting

Wine tasting is not just about sipping and spitting – it's a complex process that involves analyzing the color, clarity, aroma, taste, and finish of a wine.

From the acidity and tannins to the fruitiness and oakiness, there are many factors that contribute to the overall character of a wine.
