Interesting poster-size wine tasting summary

by Robin Garr » Tue Aug 21, 2012 2:32 pm

I saw this online and thought it was pretty good: A poster-size Wine Appreciation 101 image wrapping up a lot of the basics of wine tasting in simple graphic form. It was made by the Bordeaux Wine Bureau, I think, for VinExpo in Hong Kong.

Any idea what the correct or intended dimensions are, Robin? I can't tell.

Nice visually, but I am not sure about the quality of some of the information - in particular, the rationale for the different shaped glasses.

Appears to comes from the South China Morning Post newspaper and so I'd assume it was printed as a double page newspaper spread.

Bordeaux.com's blog took it from the graphic artist Adolfo Arranz's Flicker account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/adolfux/7277290340/ and is copyright Adolfo Arranz/South China Morning Post using info taken from two books credited at foot of poster

Plus "Riedel Glas Austria" - also credited at the foot of the poster.

This looks interesting but I can't zoom it or print it in a way to make it legible. Any tips?

Try clicking on the image to display it full size in your browser.

To print it, it might be a good first step to download it as a file. Try right-clicking on the image and and "Save as Image". After that, it depends a bit on your computer, printer, and what software you have. You could try putting the image in a word file perhaps, and printing that. Do be sure to check the copyright details ;)

Click the link in the original post. When the image fully loads, hover your cursor over it. The cursor should turn into a magnifying glass. Click it, and the picture will enlarge to fill your window. You should be able then to right-click and save it to your computer.
