Understanding Wine Faults
Over the past nine lessons, we have covered a wide range of wine faults, from oxidation and reduction to cork taint and refermentation. We have explored the causes and effects of each fault, as well as how to identify them.
It is important to note that while wine faults can be unpleasant and affect the quality of the wine, they are not always a sign of poor winemaking. Some faults, such as Brettanomyces, can be intentionally introduced to add complexity to the wine. Understanding the different types of wine faults and how they can impact the wine will help you develop a discerning palate and appreciate the complexity of different wines.
To further your knowledge of wine faults, I recommend reading 'Wine Faults: Causes, Effects, Cures' by John Hudelson. This book provides a comprehensive overview of wine faults and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the subject.
In conclusion, understanding wine faults is an essential part of wine appreciation. By developing your ability to identify and evaluate different types of wine faults, you will be able to appreciate the complexity and nuances of different wines. Cheers!
