Personally, I am not much of a drinker; but I do know a little about wine tasting.  It has been around forever, it seems.  But the methodology of it today was really established around the 14th century.  Do you have a preference on wine?
I love wine tastings, what about you?
While the practice of wine tasting is as ancient as its production, a more formalized methodology has slowly become established from the 14th century onwards.
