Inside Text: From the Vine... Taste can tell you the quality, maturity, origin and grape variety. A good sign of quality is balance. A wine is balanced when all of the wine's components (sweetness, acidity, tannins) blend together. Older red wines tend to taste more savory and spicy. Older white wines tend to taste more honeyed and yeasty. Younger wines tend to taste more of fruit. Hotter countries mean riper grapes and more overtly fruity wines (and a higher degree of alcohol).
