法式西餐厅的英语交流，关于葡萄酒或洋酒类，非常需要

Country and Region（国家和产区）

和老外聊葡萄酒，不仅仅是一句“How is your wine（你手上的这杯酒怎么样？）”那么简单。首先，讲葡萄酒的时候，总会先讲起国家和产区。你可以挑选一些你比较熟悉的国家和产区来讨论，例如 France（法国） 、Italy（意大利）、Australia（澳大利亚）、Chile（智力）等。如果你想讲得更详细，可以背一背这些国家的主要产区。以法国为例，比较常见的是Bordeaux（波尔多）、Burgundy（勃艮第）、Champagne（香槟）、Alsace（阿尔萨斯）等等。你也许还会需要表达你喜欢的是哪种类型的葡萄酒，是White Wine（白葡萄酒），Red Wine（红葡萄酒）还是Sparkling Wine（气泡酒）。

关于产区和酒款，便可以聊出许多话题：

“I like red wine from Australia, but I prefer white wine from France, especially from Alsace”

（我喜欢澳大利亚的红葡萄酒，但白葡萄酒我更喜欢法国的，尤其是阿尔萨斯的。）

“I prefer sparkling wine, especially from Champagne in France”

（我更喜欢起泡酒，特别是法国香槟产区的。）

Grape Variety（葡萄品种）

然后，你也许会想聊聊这杯葡萄酒的品种，它是由不同的葡萄品种Blended（调配而成）的，还是Varietal（单一葡萄品种）的呢？说到品种，种类也非常多，最常见的白葡萄酒品种有Sauvignon Blanc（长相思）、Chardonnay（霞多丽）、Riesling（雷司令），而常见的红葡萄酒品种有Cabernet Sauvignon（赤霞珠）、Merlot（梅洛）、Pinot Noir（黑皮诺）、Shiraz（设拉子）等等。

Colour and Appearance（颜色和外观）

接下来，我们端起杯子，来围绕着这杯酒展开话题。先从酒的Appearance（外观）开始，酒呈现的Colour（颜色）是Deep（深）还是Pale（浅）？如果是红葡萄酒，那么色泽可呈现出a deep ruby red（深宝石红色）、a pale garnet colour（浅色的红石榴）或者an opaque purple（不透明的紫色）等。白葡萄酒呢，比较常见的是pale lemon（浅柠檬色）或deep gold colour（深金**）。所以，这种句子是品酒好的开始：

“This wine shows a nice deep ruby red colour”

（这款酒呈现着鲜亮的深宝石红色。）

或者: “This wine shows a nice pale lemon colour ”

（这款酒呈现着漂亮的浅柠檬色。）

Aroma（香气）

闻起葡萄酒的时候，如果香气不干净，那么可以说它Faulty（有异味的），对方可能会说：

“This wine is faulty, I think it’s corked”

（这款酒有异味，我想它染上了木塞味。）

或者你可能会认为它已经氧化了：

“I think it is oxydised”

（我想它被氧化了）。

有的葡萄酒的香气Pronounced（浓郁），有的Light（清淡），但大多数会散发出Fruit Aromas（果香）或Floral Aromas（花香）。用于红酒的香气通常是：Black Currant（黑醋栗）、Plum（梅子）；用于白葡萄酒的气味通常有：Tropical Fruit（热带水果）、Lemon（柠檬）、Apple（苹果）、Mineral（矿物味）。在Barrel（木桶）中陈酿的佳酿，往往会散发出美妙的 Oak Aroma（橡木香）。

“This wine is fruity, and it has elegant oak aromas”

（这款酒果香丰郁，并且有优雅的橡木味。）

Acidity and Tannin（酸度和单宁）

入口之后，体会口感反应，可以先讨论一下酒酸：

“How about its acidity”（酒酸如何呢？）

酸度可用“High”（高）和“Low”（低）来表达：

“This wine has a high acidity!”（这款酒的酸度很高）

此外，Tannin（单宁）也是品酒时非常值得描述的部分，也是你常常会听到的一个词。单宁是葡萄酒里的酚类物质，在口腔中会产生“皱褶”感，它的有点像我们吃了生的柿子，口腔中涩涩的感觉。有的酒Tannin是ripe and soft（成熟且柔软的），但有的比较unripe and green（不成熟且绿/粗糙的）。我们可以这样来谈论单宁：

“The tannins are strong but fine”

（单宁很强壮，却很细致。）

Body（酒体）

酒体（Body）用来形容酒在舌头上感觉的词，口感非常浓郁的葡萄酒被称为是Full-Bodied（重酒体/饱满），而一些较为淡雅口感的酒则被称为Light Bodied（轻酒体）。

最后，来背下这句讨人喜欢的好话：

“This is a good wine, it’s well-balanced, the finish is clean and long”

（这是一款好酒，它很平衡，余味既干净又长。）

现在，一起来干杯！

Cheers!
