Now, it's sometimes said that a great teacher is a really good student.
现在，人们常说，好老师是很好的学生。
And with this subject, I am a student, not a teacher.
在这门课上，我是一名学生，而不是老师。
I told you earlier that tannins meant that a wine is full bodied. Now, that's not quite correct.
我之前说过，丹宁酸意味着葡萄酒酒体丰满。这并不完全正确。
Tannins mean that the wine has a bitter taste.
丹宁酸意味着葡萄酒有苦味。
The tannins come from the skins and the stems - that's the kind of the pokey, knobby bits, and the seeds, the slightly kind of nasty bit of the grape.
丹宁酸来自于葡萄的皮和茎——那是一种细小的，多节的部分，还有葡萄的种子，有点令人讨厌的部分。
And you can notice that there's lots of tannins because it actually sort of dries your mouth up, okay?
你可以注意到这里有很多单宁酸，因为它会让你的嘴变干？
So, when I went into the wine shop to ask for a bottle of red wine,
所以，当我走进酒店想要一瓶红酒时，
the lady recommended a bottle of red that was low in tannins, and it was very nice and it actually felt quite a light wine.
那位女士推荐了一瓶丹宁酸含量低的红酒，味道很好，感觉很淡。
So, what we're looking at here is different things that you could say about wine when you taste it.
所以，我们现在看到的是，当你品尝葡萄酒的时候，你可以说出的不同的东西。
I want to make you aware of the classification of Old World vs. New World.
我想让你们了解一下旧世界和新世界的分类。
Probably used more in Europe than anywhere else, but an Old World wine,
可能在欧洲比在其他地方使用得更多，说到旧世界的葡萄酒，
you're looking at Spain, France, Italy, all the kind of traditional wine growing areas.
你可以看看西班牙，法国，意大利，所有这些传统的葡萄酒产区。
Whereas the New World is more your sort of Chile, California, Australia, New Zealand.
而新世界葡萄酒更多产自智利、加利福尼亚、澳大利亚和新西兰。
And there used to be a sort of preconception that Old World wines were better than New World wines,
过去有一种偏见认为旧世界的葡萄酒比新世界的好，
but that's kind of no longer the case anymore, and there's excellent wines from all around the world.
但现在情况已经不一样了，现在有来自世界各地的优质葡萄酒。
One thing you don't want is a corked bottle. A corked bottle - I don't know how it happens.
有一样东西是你不想要的，那就是瓶塞。瓶塞——我不知道这是怎么发生的。
I had a corked bottle back in the summer and you pour it and immediately you can tell there's something wrong with the wine.
夏天的时候，我有一瓶软木塞酒瓶的酒，你倒出来，马上就能发现酒出了问题。
It tasted like vinegar or something. So, you definitely don't want a corked bottle.
它尝起来像醋什么的。所以，你肯定不想要一瓶软木塞的瓶子装的酒。
I think it's the sort of air pressure, the air gets in through the cork or something like that.
我认为是空气压力，空气通过软木塞或类似的东西进入。
If you know, do let us know in a comment. Now, this is quite an amusing comment you can make.
如果你知道，请在评论中告诉我们。现在，你可以做出一个很有趣的评论。
So, you're swirling the wine around in the glass and you're looking at whether the liquid kind of comes down quickly, or leaves a sort of trail.
所以，当你在杯中旋转酒的时候，你会观察酒是否会很快地流下来，或者会留下一些痕迹。
It's like kind of the trails that a slug might make.
就像是缓步虫留下的痕迹。
Now, what that is is the speed at which the wine is evaporating back off the inside of the glass.
这就是酒从杯子里蒸发的速度。
But, so, if it's got good legs, then you get these little lines, little trails where the wine has kind of left a mark.
但是，如果它的流线很好，你就会得到这些小线条，这些小痕迹是酒留下的印记。
So, it's got good legs, those, you know, if the wine takes some time to evaporate off the glass.
所以，如果葡萄酒需要一段时间从杯子里蒸发掉，它的流线就很好。
But actually, it doesn't show that the wine is good.
但实际上，这并不能说明酒好。
It just shows that the alcohol content is high or that it's a sweeter wine, okay?
它只是表明酒的酒精含量高或者它是一种更甜的酒。
But it does sound quite cool if you can say "Oh, it's got great legs, this wine." We've gone over tannins. Acidity.
但如果你说“这酒的流线真棒”，听起来确实很酷。我们已经讲过单宁酸了。酸度。
The taste here is sort of zesty lemon, and rather than drying your mouth out, it actually, the moisture remains in your mouth.
这是一种辛辣的柠檬的味道，而不是让你的嘴干，实际上，水分留在你的嘴里。
So, you can also talk about the tension in a wine. The tension between acidity and sweetness.

What can you sense? What can you - what's it make you sort of -
你能感觉到什么?你能-这是什么让你有点
what taste is it sort of bringing up in your taste imagination, should we say? It's got hints of elderberries.
我们应该说，它在你的味觉想象中提出了什么口味？有接骨木浆果的味道。
Whatever you can taste. Aroma is the smell. It's got a fantastic aroma, this wine.
无论你能品尝到什么。香气就是味道。这种酒有一种奇妙的香气。
Okay? Sounds better than "smell". If the wine is energetic, then you have a sip and it's like woah.
好吧？听起来比“闻”好多了。如果酒是充满活力的，那么你抿一口，感觉就像哇。
Gives you some energy, makes you feel awake. Whether it has depth. So, resonate - it's a bit like, kind of, echo.

"Wined and dined": given a nice meal with wine. "Days of wine and roses".
“热情款待”：用美酒美餐招待。“醇酒与玫瑰的岁月”。
Doesn't that sound blissful? So, days of wine and roses are carefree, happy days, yeah? A really kind of, a golden time.
这听起来不是很幸福吗？所以，“醇酒与玫瑰的岁月”是无忧无虑的，快乐的日子，是吗？这真的是一段黄金时期。
"Put a cork in it." Put a cork in it, will you?
“闭嘴吧。”闭嘴，好吗？
So, when you've had enough of the bottle of wine, you put the cork back in so that the wine stays good for a couple of more days.
