    I used to be a sommelier and i would really only use 'FRUITY' out of those 4 words to describe wines to clients.

    I could be wrong and dont have the mag, but Ive gone with fruity - as Mellow isnt how you would describe any wine really more for coffee.

    Bright - Ive never heard a wine described as bright.

    And finally Smooth although wines can be smooth again its not a known term that would be used in describing taste.

    Its up to yourselves but FRUITY is the only memory i have out of those 4 words in 2 years at college..(that was 20 years ago but i dont think things would change that much when describing wines)

    Good luck and if you win - send me some karma please x
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:
