A big problem for most wine drinkers!
Many European wines can be difficult to understand:
"Is Rioja the grape variety or the region?"
"What does Premier Cru mean".
But, once you've learnt it. It's like having superpowers.

Mastering Wine Acidity_ The Ultimate Tasting Technique.mp4
Would you do this in public?
If you want to measure how acidic a wine is, this is what I do, only problem is you a bit silly.
High acid wines like Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon will create a noticeable sensation of saliva running down the sides of your mouth.
working out if a wine has high acidity or not is great for identifying a wine in a blind tasting, or can help you work out how to pair it with food.
