Exploring the World of Wine with Spencer House

A Brief History of Wine Production

Wine production has a rich history that spans thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The art of winemaking was refined over time through the contributions of various cultures, including the Greeks and Romans who developed techniques for fermentation and aging.

The Middle Ages saw a decline in wine production due to the fall of the Roman Empire, but it wasn't until the Renaissance that wine production began to flourish once more. The discovery of the New World brought about new grape varieties and wine-making techniques, further expanding the possibilities of winemaking.

The Art of Wine Tasting

Wine tasting is an art that requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. The first step in wine tasting is to observe the color and clarity of the wine, followed by a swirl to release the aromas.

Next, take a small sip and let it sit in your mouth for a moment before swallowing. Pay attention to the flavors, acidity, tannins, and finish. Repeat this process several times to fully appreciate the complexity of the wine.
