Public wine tasting events usually draw a mixture of folks, from beginners to oenophiles. When at a public wine tasting, there are a few rules that should be abided by. First and foremost, don’t wear smelly perfume or aftershave as this interferes with the wines’ aromatics. It may not matter to you but others certainly will not be happy. Secondly, depending on how serious the event, excessive talking is usually frowned upon as negative or positive comments can directly influence others’ opinions of a wine to be tasted. While actually tasting, silence is generally the norm. If you want to discuss a wine with a fellow taster, simply step away from the tasting area. Finally, it’s best to use a spittoon. Don’t swallow.
