response: Do you consider yourself a sommelier, which is a professional wine taster?
original_response: Well, maybe you should start referring to yourself as a sommelier! They are professional wine tasters.
history: I consider myself to be rather high-brow since I enjoy tasting expensive wines. Do you like wine tasting? I know that it is actually the sensory evaluation and examination of wine I do, and wasting money on expensive ones makes me feel better about myself.
knowledge: Modern, professional wine tasters (such as sommeliers or buyers for retailers) use a constantly evolving specialized terminology which is used to describe the range of perceived flavors, aromas and general characteristics of a wine.
