The Edge of Balance: How Acidity Shapes Wine

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

Who It’s For: Serious wine students, analytical tasters, and anyone who wants to taste structure with greater precision and confidence.

Acidity is the backbone of great wine responsible for freshness, tension, balance, and ageability. In this advanced tasting-focused class, we’ll explore how acidity shapes structure and interacts with alcohol, tannin, sweetness, and body. Through guided comparative tasting, you’ll learn to distinguish between sharp, round, linear, and vibrant expressions of acidity and understand how winemaking choices influence perception in the glass. Rather than focusing heavily on chemistry, this class centers on sensory experience—training your palate to identify how acidity drives style and defines quality.
