What's Wrong With My Wine? Identifying Wine Flaws Without the Drama

If you'd like to Support the Podcast, like listeners Lisa an Greg, you can buy Nikki and Michael a glass of wine and get a shoutout on a future episode!

Have you ever been out, taken a sip of your favorite wine only to find it tastes off... but you're not sure why or what to do?

I'm unpacking the three main culprits that could be ruining your glass. Think: cork taint, volatile acidity, and oxidation. I’ll share a quick and easy top on how to spot these issues and how to address them without sounding like a total wine snob.

I'm talking:

  • Understanding your wine is crucial; if it smells or tastes off, something's likely wrong with it.
  • The three common wine flaws you should know about: corked, volatile acidity, and oxidation and what they smell and taste like
  • Trust the professionals; they often can tell you if the wine is as it should be.
  • Making sure you get every ounce of enjoyment from that glass.
  • Wine can be a living entity; how it's stored and served can greatly affect your experience.
