- Learn how to talk about wine in English. There are many different kinds of red and white wines, and the ones we will touch on in this lesson are: “Riesling”, “Chardonnay”, “Sauvignon Blanc”, “Shiraz”, “Merlot”, “Malbec”, and “Cabernet Sauvignon”. I will teach you where these wines originally came from and with which foods to enjoy them. Then, we will look at wine-tasting vocabulary like “tannins”, “acidity”, “body”, “depth”, “cork”, and more. Finally, I will teach you a few commonly-used idioms including “wine and dine”, “days of wine and roses”, and “put a cork in it”. This video is jam-packed with useful vocabulary.

Benjamin: Thank you for your excellent videos.
The following are a few topics learned during a few wine degustation sessions many years ago (Yours truly is a teetotaler, and far from being an expert in this topic):
01. Tannins hold an inversely proportional relation to the wine age: The "younger" the wine, the more content of tannins it will have, as a rule. (The sommelier would remark that tannins would "tie your tongue down" - because of the dry feeling provoked, as you well pointed out);
02. The wine trace in the cup after swirling is colloquially called "the teardrop" in Spanish-speaking countries;
03. Two other aspects of wine degustation are "the bouquet", and its gustatory equivalent, "the aftertaste". The bouquet relates to the primary, secondary and tertiary aromas in a wine (similar to the top, heart and base notes in a fragrance). The aftertaste is the lasting and lingering gustatory feeling left by the wine.
Thank you for allowing yours truly to post these comments.
This is great - thank you
@@engvidBenjamin Thank you very much.
Good job! Excellent class! I'm not a professional but I I've been studying wine for a long time, and the next couple months I'll do the FWS test... Anyway, what I really liked was the unpretentious way that you put this "complex wine world" in a simple way for the beginners. I really recomend your class! Cheers from Brazil!
Thanks for your kind words.

If you may Could you please make a video about type of sentences like simple, compound,and complex sentence these staff are making me a little bit confusion
Hello, Ben!
Thanks for a very informative and insightful lesson. I would very much appreciate it if you could make a video on British beer as well！
Interesting! I will bear that in mind next time I am shooting (filming).
Great video, I'm working on a class about ESP on wine tasting and this helps a lot
Sounds interesting!
Thank u so much Benjamin from Turkey🙂
No probs
I'm a fan of your classes and accent. Always here to learn and support. A video with the uses of "to" and "for" would be nice heheh - common mistakes, for example.
Thanks Daniela, have added that one to my list...
I'm so glad to see malbec here.
A little correction: almost the entire production of malbec in France froze many years ago. Nowadays is a rare variety there
So Argentina is the only main producer
Regards from Mendoza
Thanks for that, Alvaro!
Sorry Malbec is very comon in New Zealand, Australia and Chile as well also in France used for bleeding or as a Single varietal
Amazing! Thanks!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're welcome
Greetings from Brazil, loved your lessons!
Awesome! Thank you!
Welcome back thanks for your efforts
No probs
Today's video has been interesting, as it was progressing I got hooked more, only one comment to tell you, speaking about old and new wines I think that nowadays it is essential to survive in this industry to make new wines, in countries like Spain the new ones are based in the ancient culture this mixture transfers an exceptional quality, by the way, I don't sell wines.
Thanks for that Ricardo
Thank you l become love to joy your chenell give vocabularies excellent to it but l am problem less of words
Maybe start with some beginner videos? Go to engvid.com and search for beginner videos. Well done. Glad you like the videos :)
I know nothing about wine but I find this lesson really aesthetic.
Aesthetic? Are you sure you mean that?
thanks for the lecon
Pas de probleme
I learned a lot about wines , actually Shiraz is a city in Iran that produced wines until the revolution.
Interesting - thanks for that
Hello I live in France and your video is good but I would like to help you pronounce Sauvignon blanc the French way: it's pronounced- so Vignon blan we don't pronounce the c at the end unless there is an e after the last consonant. Sau is pronounced as SO. Thanks for the helpful video.
Nice one - thanks for that. Merci beaucoup.
Useful Video Thanks!

Good Morning dear sir from India
Hello there!
Nice 👍

What wine should I drink while at a theater listening to Beethoven 5th ?
No idea!
Super duper
:)
Italy is the second country in the world for wine exports and you haven't even mentioned an Italian wine. I am perplexed about your knowledge of this topic
As I said at the beginning of the video - this is not an area of expertise for me, the aim of the video is to give a few phrases for talking about wine which may be useful in a business or social context. Apologies for not including Italian wines in the video.
@@engvidBenjamin I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, but I work in the wine sector and I reasoned thinking only in a technical way. By the way, thanks for your videos, you are a great teacher.
I see there's no reference to Spanish wines. Is it because you don't know them? If so, give them a try. They are highly-ranked worldwide (among the two or three best ones). I cannot think it's done on purpose, right?
Definitely not on purpose! Obviously Rioja for red and then sweet white wines from places like Tarragona.
It's spelled RIESLING not Reisling and you pronounce it like you would "Reesling". Cheers and greetings from Germany
Corked wine is spoilt and the result of the wine or even only the cork or cap having been exposed to spores of a specific mold that hangs around the cellars.
How to name a wine to my guest? If i am a waitress, ‘name , year, place?”
Great question. Unless the wine is of a particularly notable vintage i.e. a port from 1979 or something, then I wouldn't bother saying the year. Type of grape and place is important though.
To be honest, I don't drink wine despite being 22 years old. but still a nice video.
It's nice to know about things, even if you don't do them. Thanks for watching.
He doesn't speak English. He speaks British.
I wasn't aware that 'British' is a language. British English perhaps? To say that I don't speak English is such a ridiculous comment that I am not going to bother responding to.
Wine is very dangerous for health
Hello Aoua, as I explained at the beginning of the video, this is not a promotional video to advocate wine drinking, it is to enable you to TALK about wine which may be useful in certain contexts, whether you drink wine or not. As a side note, numerous scientific studies have shown that drinking wine in moderation can benefit one's health.
Yes, I got you, but just for knowledge, in wines is great sin and benefit but its sin is greater than its benefit, so who want to be stronge in mind and body he has to leave the wine for ever whether you agree with me or no.
@@ابنالبيطار-ر9ث Poor thing! I don't need any religion to tell me what to think, what to do, what to eat or what to drink, what is sin or what is good. I'm grown-up. It's my responsibility. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT BEING AN ADULT MEANS? Mind-benders again! Opinion-makers!
@@ANTONIOPEREZ-rf3yh who talked to you, stay out of this and just hold your nose. Its good that a person leaves what does not concern him, and saying what you said you describe perfectly the brutish life.
