How to tell if the wine is good or not

Higher alcohol % = Ready to drink now

Umm, i dont agree at all. But I love his spirit. All countries have their wives' tales and superstitions. 😂❤🎉

We had a tour guide in Italy tell us if the wine was less than 15% alcohol it was "Pepsi" and not to buy! 😂

To me, wine is not determined by the alcohol, but the taste and the feel of it on your tongue. But I drink only 100 percent alcohol free wine.

It’s called legs

What about a wine that is sweet and has texture. I had it years ago where the restaurant owner got very excited to serve me an old wine but I do not know what it is called. One glass with dinner and I felt as if I had three glasses of wine .it was potent. Very nice and sweet with a textured feeling in it. I was young and in my twenties and told him I did not like wine because it was bitter. He told me that I would like this glass of wine and he was right

Finally someone that actually explains what im actually looking for

However with French wine this doesn't work. Why? French wine is just colored water. 🤌🤌😏😉

Full of crap. Never heard of that in my whole life. I either like it or i don,t.

I was told the legs were actually glycerin. A by-product of the fermentation process.

That’s a myth. If there are “legs” it’s something to do with how the glass was cleaned, dried or not cleaned and rinsed properly. Ask a real wine maker. You’re welcome

This is complete bullshit.

Are just a indicator of higher alcohol and residual sugar? Not really a reliable sign of a good wine.

Myth. Not a trick. More legs means higher alcohol and/or more tannins/heavier red. It doesn't tell you anything about quality.

they are called legs
in my drinking days, it meant that it was higher in alcohol or high sugar content - can be both

Those drops are not alcohol, is is phisically not possible

Not true for all wines. Pinot Noir can have thin legs and still be delicious.

We call them curtains in my country..Like they drape the side of the glass..

Also called the tears if you wanna be more romantic

Really???? Oh, please, just taste it!

My sister calls them legs 😂

aka wine legs or tears of wine

Technically, the more "drips", the stronger the wine is.

Thank you guys for bringing us along for topics on wine!! Much Love to you Both!

Chaal zutae .

We here in france call it the legs of the wine (jambes) which the french explained to the Italians when northern italie was part of france 😂

Anche nel centro Italia abbiamo questo trick!

As a Southern Italian, that's not possible. Alcohol and water form an azeotrope. Which is why distillation is required to separate the two, and multiple distillations to obtain a purer solution....but bless your husbands heart.

Its called the legs, they do the same thing with whisky

In the US we call them “Legs”

There he goes drinking French wine again

A trick from northern Italy? Checking the legs? Wow alright

With all my respect for Italians, you've got a lot of virtues, my favorite country after mine (Spain) but talking about wines... it's a theme between France&Spain..😉

Thank you for the lesson

The term is "oily". If you whirl the wine in a very high quality glass it would leave drops behind that look like oil.

It is that simple! 😂❤

Ok,ti prendo in parola. Sono una astemia del Sud.

Legs!

Ma dio plevan!

In whiskey drinking, we call those the legs. Want long, thick legs :)

They’re called legs. The streaks of wine, the more and longer the leg the better.

That is the glycerin in the wine

Anche noi del centro Italia facciamo cosi!!!😉🤗💯

Thanks for that😊

Alcohol content does not determine a good wine. 😅🤣😂

Molise people make the best vino 😂

I thought it‘s the oily part and not the alcohol 😮 is this really correct,

This is a well studied phenomenon in fluid dynamics, it’s called Marangoni flow, and yes, you only see it in good wine

It’s not an Italian trick.. come on you can’t claim everything 😂

Start using a wine glass maybe?
