Wine Journals

Both established wine lovers and newcomers to the tasting scene can use journals to log their experiences. These journals feature glossaries, information on tasting methods and space for personal notes that help you grow as an enthusiast of French, Italian and American vintages.

Important Features of Wine Journals

The fundamental feature of a journal is a glossary of important terms. You need to know the difference between regions like Rhone, Jura, Savoie and Corsica before tasting new vintages. An appreciation for length, dryness and acidity can help you take better notes.

Journals are popular gifts for new oenophiles because they provide instruction on how to act at a tasting. Instructions in these special books on swirling fluid in a glass and how to dissect each taste help you avoid awkward situations among fellow oenophiles.

Your wine journal should include accessories to deal with bottles in your growing collection. A set of label removers in the back help you strip a bottle of its identity for posterity's sake. You can store these labels in a folder attached to the back cover to protect your primary sources.
