Understanding his tastes

The first step in choosing the right wine

Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a passionate connoisseur, you've probably asked yourself this question before: "What do I really like?" Powerful red, mineral white, fruity, dry, or oaky wine? Understanding your tastes is the key to choosing better, tasting better... and above all, appreciating better.

Why is it important to know your tastes?

The world of wine is vast and often intimidating. Faced with a shelf full of bottles or a restaurant wine list, it's easy to get lost. Knowing your taste preferences allows you to:

  • To make safer and more satisfying choices.

  • Don't buy "at random".

  • To build a coherent and enriching tasting experience.

  • Daring to think outside the box while still respecting one's palate.

What are the main taste profiles?

At Winesud , we have identified several major taste profiles, inspired by the aromas, textures and balances found in wines from all over the world:

  • Fruity & supple : round, delicious, approachable wines.

  • Spicy & sunny : warm wines, often from the south, that evoke the garrigue.

  • Mineral & taut : crystalline, vivid whites, sometimes iodine-tinged.

  • Woody & structured : fuller-bodied reds, often aged in barrels.

  • Floral & delicate : light, fine and elegant wines, perfect as an aperitif.

  • Complex & intense : for lovers of depth and length.

  • Fresh & tangy : lively, light, perfect for rosés and some whites.

How can you determine your taste profile?

The best way to understand your tastes is to taste… but not randomly. To guide your exploration, we've designed a quick questionnaire , available directly on our website. In just a few minutes, you can identify your taste profile and receive a selection of wines that match your preferences.

It's an invitation to discover , learn and above all , have fun .

And then what?

Once your profile is identified, you can:

  • Receive a personalized box every month, with no commitment.

  • Explore our educational resources to refine your palate.

  • Share your experience, note your preferences, and refine your recommendations.

Because wine is not just a drink: it's an emotion, a memory, a pleasure to be fully experienced.
