A trustworthy review distinguishes observable product details from personal preference. Price, pack size, ingredients and availability can be checked; taste is subjective.

What to know

A useful tasting note describes sweetness, acidity, texture, aroma and finish without presenting opinion as a laboratory result. Comparisons should use similar serving conditions.

Practical takeaway
