The terminology used in wine tasting is constantly evolving and very specialized.
I wish i was a professional wine taster known as a sommelier.
Wine tasting always seemed so pretentious to me. Really? I know of it as the process of examining and evaluating wine. I still like drinking wine more than other alcohol tho Oh, that's good to know. Wine tasting is as old as winemaking, but didn't become more formal until the 1500s. Huh, I didn't know that. They have so many goofy terms for wine, these days.
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.
