初
次品尝雷司令葡萄酒（Riesling）的人可能会觉得，这种酒有那么一点儿难以捉摸。雷司令葡萄酒给人的感觉千变万化，取决于你的具体选择。
味道：雷司令的香味浓郁宜人，味道却往往出人意表。你会发现，它的味道很难描述清楚，并没有你预想中的那种浓烈的花果味道。大致形容起来，你不妨说它带有怪异的金属风味或是坚硬的燧石气息。
甜度或干度：雷司令的甜度可以在极干（bone dry）与半甜（semisweet）之间变化。传统的德国莱茵白葡萄酒（Liebfraumilch）是一种口味浓重的半甜酒，给雷司令带来了不好的名声。不过，今天的雷司令已经有了不少清爽适口的新品种。买这种酒的时候，记得看清楚标签就好，实在拿不准的话，也可以去找酒铺的店员咨询。
酸性：酿造雷司令的葡萄产自寒冷的气候之下，生长环境导致的酸性使雷司令成为了一种十分开胃的葡萄酒，非常适合用来搭配沙拉和酸橘汁腌鱼之类的头道冷盘。

First-time Riesling drinkers may find this wine a bit of a wild card. Your wine-drinking experience can vary greatly, depending on which bottle you pick off of the shelf.
The nose. The one thing you can be sure of is the signature Riesling perfume ─ all good Rieslings carry a strong floral bouquet.
The taste. Compared with its welcoming and upfront aroma, the way a Riesling tastes may be surprising. Rather than the big fruits and florals you were expecting, you'll find tastes that are harder to pinpoint. Think quirky metallic or flinty hints.
Sweet or dry. Rieslings can also range from bone dry to semisweet. The old-fashioned German Liebfraumilch, a heavy semisweet wine, gave sweet Rieslings a bad name, but these days there are refreshingly bright incarnations. Just make sure to read your label carefully, and confirm with wine store staff if you're unsure.
The acid. The grape grows in colder climates, and the acidity that results from that environment makes this wine a mouthwatering appetite opener, the perfect for cold starters such as salads and ceviches.
