Every wine lover knows the appreciation of the beverage of Bacchus goes beyond
the simple act of drinking, he or she knows in a glass of wine there is more
than a simple beverage. Wine is the result of many elements, a symphony of
emotions expressed by means of aromas, flavors and sensations, something
therefore requiring attention and awareness, something which is not drunk for
the fun of it. The same is certainly true for distillates as well. For this
reason, in order to remember the sensations felt in front of a glass, to compare
them with new sensations and emotions - last but not the least - to becoming a
better taster and a conscious consumer, it is very useful to take notes of the
impressions, not only from a sensorial point of view, but also critically. This
exercise is also useful in case one is about to taste the same wine or
distillate, but of a different vintage, in order to evaluate the development,
constancy and reliability over time of a certain producer.
DiWineTaste offers its readers two guides in which are published the results
expressed by our tasting committee about wines and distillates:
Wine Guide and
Aquavitae. Tools which
gained the interest and appreciation of our readers, as to count - today - an
average of 3.500 daily accesses. We are aware our opinion cannot - and must not
be - an absolute reference, it simply is an indication, just the expression of
what we think about a wine or a distillate. For this reason we thought about
asking the participation of our readers, offering them a place where to publish
their impressions and opinions - sensorial, critical and of merit - of the wines
and distillates found in our Guides. This is why we decided to let our readers
add their tasting notes in our Guides, offering them a way to express their
opinion and judgment about wines and distillates.
Moreover, we thought about offering our readers a tool in which organizing and
keeping tasting notes, in order to have an easy way to organize and keep track
of their tasting activity. This new service is integrated to the functions of
EnoForum, therefore
reserved to all of our registered readers. On this regard, we remind
registration to EnoForum is free and it takes few minutes to fill the
registration form. Entering and publishing your tasting notes is very simple. In
every review of the Guides you will find a new link Write your review, which
will show a form where you can enter your impression and your judgment -
expressed by means of DiWineTaste evaluation method in diamonds and stars - as
well as price, tasting place and vintage. In few minutes your review will be
published and all DiWineTaste readers will know your opinion and your judgment
about a specific wine or distillate.
The organization and review of your tasting notes is implemented by new
functions in EnoForum. By using the new function My Tasting Notes it will be
displayed the list of your reviews and from which it is possible to select and
update them. We also thought about rewarding the most active readers in
their activity of taster: in a specific table will be displayed the ranking of
the readers who have published the highest number of reviews. In case two or
more readers have expressed their opinion about a specific wine or distillate,
it will be shown - in the relative page - the average score, expressed in
diamonds and stars, result of all the judgments expressed by our readers. This
score is shown besides the one expressed by our tasting committee, which however
remains a reference on its own. In this way producers will know what consumers
really think about their products: another way to communicate with wineries and
to express your satisfaction or disappointment.
Once again, DiWineTaste wants to join its voice with yours, as we are aware of
the fact every opinion is respectable and worth to be expressed, even in case it
is different from ours or from the one of others. We are also convinced the most
important opinion is the one of consumers who, definitely, are the ones making
the real market and really make a product big with their appreciation by means
of purchase. We therefore believe it is right, honest and fair allowing the ones
who trust producers by purchasing their products to express their opinion about
a certain product. This is also a way to improve the quality of a wine and the
ones who make it: we are convinced producers will benefit from your comments and
opinions. Moreover, this is also good for all the community of DiWineTaste
readers, as it is always useful to compare your opinion with the one of others,
a way of growing up together.
Last but not the least, a tool for organizing your tasting notes and to keep
track of them over time, a tool to keep track of your activity of taster and
reviewer of wines and distillates. Your reviews will also be displayed in
DiWineTaste's home page: in this way our
readers will always know and read about the last ten published reviews. With
this new tool, our magazine wants to offer our readers a new way to express
their opinion and which is added to all the other ones, such as EnoForum and
polls. We invite all of our readers who are already registered users to access
EnoForum and to update their profile - there have in fact been added new
information - as well as inviting our readers who are not registered users yet
to fill in the relative form. DiWineTaste Wine Guide and Aquavitae are now your
Guides. Express your opinion!
