There are many things involved in the art of wine tasting, but you probably didn’t know that there are also a few things that you should be aware of on the etiquette of wine tasting. These aren’t hard and fast rules that someone has set down somewhere when they had nothing better to do on their hands. It all depends on what the context is and the situation is. If you’re not a formal person and your fellow wine tasters are equally informal then you can go at it in a way that you’re all comfortable with. What happens though if you decide to host a wine tasting evening? Do you follow the rules or do you leave it up to your guests to do whatever it is they want? As a good host you might want to be prepared to give your guests your all and give them the best wine tasting night of their lives. That said, if your guests are all close friends then you might want to follow a different pattern and turn the night into one of fun and feasting, with the feasting to follow after the tasting of course! Then again you could turn the whole night into something formal to initiate your friends into the arts of wine tasting. And if you’re going for a wine tasting then you should probably know a few things to start you out with. That way it won’t matter if you’re going to a friend’s informal gathering or to a more formal setting. The one thing not to do though is to worry. You can’t know everything about everything, and at some point in your life you have to encounter a situation where you won’t know what to do. In this case you just need to take things as they come and learn what life hands out. In this case I’d say that you don’t need to worry at all as there are quite a few people out there who have absolutely no idea what to do at a wine tasting and will be in the same boat as you. Besides, there’s more than a good chance that your hosts will have provided for the fact that not everyone will be clued in, and they’ll most likely walk you through the necessary steps as the evening proceeds. The pointers that I’ve given though are the most basic of etiquette rules of wine tasting and are always best if followed. If the lay of the land is such that the rules are fluid then you can go with the flow, but other than that I would recommend that you stay on course and stick with the rules of wine tasting such as they are.
