I honestly have no clue but the formalized method became established slowly.
Not really, since wine tasting has been around since the 14th century.
I love going on wine tasting tours in the Niagara region Neat, which sense do you use when examining and evaluating the wines? Oh well I actually just go for the experience, you get a buzz and learn about drinking wine properly. Could you repeat the prior question? Yes, did you use your senses when examining and evaluating the wines? Ah yeah, I learned there how where the wine hits makes it taste different, so I used my taste senses. Is wine tasting a modern activity? Well, wine tasting as a practice is as old as wine making but the formalized version began from the 1300s. Did the Romans or Greeks have wine tastings similar to common day wine tastings?
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.
