10、 外观 观察葡萄酒的外观的主要原因在于提醒我们注意产品是否存在瑕疵。如果葡萄酒的年龄过大，那么已经在储存过程中损坏了，或者橡木塞损坏而导致的氧化都被形容为意外状况 out-of-condition .此时的酒在外观上会出现阴暗呆滞，或者开始显现出棕色，虽然偏棕色未必一定是有问题的酒。( 大部分健康的老酒也都会出现棕色，特别是经过长时间橡木储存的葡萄酒 )混浊也是葡萄酒出现问题的一种表现，或者是在装瓶前未经过滤澄清。 TastingandEvaluatingWine Itisworthmakingaquicknoteofthecolour.Lookattheintensity :isitpart

13、，所有很难作出精确的判断。 如果是白葡萄酒，究竟是柠檬色还是金色 ?发绿表示年轻；而橙色和棕色表示年老。 桃红葡萄酒，亮丽的粉红色表示年轻；橙色和棕色表示年老。 下面是一些精确描述的例子：清澈的深宝石红；阴暗混浊的深棕色；清澈而中等深度的石榴红；清澈的淡金黄色； TastingandEvaluatingWine Nose Swirlitintheglasstoreleaseasmanyaromamoleculesaspossible,thentakeasniff.Thenmakeanoteoftheconditionofthenose.Themostcommonfaultthatcanbedi
