Ways to determine the authenticity of wine
1. Pour the liquid into a small vial or test tube and lower it into a glass of water. The wine will spill and easily mixed? so, the density of water and "wine" is the same. You bought a fake.
2. Pour into a glass 50 gr wine and 10 g of glycerin. A clear layer of glycerin remained at the bottom? So., the wine is at least dyed with artificial colors, qualitatively paint glycerin in its rich natural color.
3. Pour a little wine into a glass and add soda. If the color of the drink has not changed, you bought artificial wine. A natural drink will change color, since the anthocyanins contained in grapes interact with acids and alkalis.

2.Foam the contents of the bottle well and fill the glass by a quarter or half. The foam on the surface of the wine disappears slowly, going to the center - so, the quality of the wine is good. Natural wine.
3. Pour a little alcohol into the glass and turn it slightly, so that traces remain on the walls. If wine quickly glass from the walls, leaving no traces, it is a low-quality product with a high content of chemical additives. But remember, that to create traces,»Tracks»,»Legs», "Slide", so-called stains on the glass, just add a little glycerin. And you will have "legs", even if the bottle is not the best drink. The attitude to this method of determining the quality is awe-inspiring, that the width of the "tracks" determined the age of the drink, than they are thinner, the older the drink.
4.After, as you opened the bottle, leave it for a while to "breathe". The pungent smell of alcohol will quickly disappear. Pour the drink into a glass no more than half and inhale its aroma. It is called a "bouquet" and it is formed during long storage. If instead of a "bouquet" you smell alcohol, alcohol is poorly sustained and the "bouquet" did not have time to form.
5. A reliable way to determine the quality of a drink is to taste it. Good wine has a pleasant taste and no less pleasant aftertaste. Poor quality drinks and young wines have no aftertaste.
