Wine tastings...have you ever been to one? email this discussion to a friend?

I'm not a drinker so I've never been to a wine tasting but even if I was I don't think I would attend one. I don't get the whole idea of it. It seems strange to think of a bunch of people sitting around taking sips of different wines. I realize there are a lot of different kinds of wine and they all have unique tastes but I personally would probably end up getting drunk very fast...even when I did drink! When I hear of one I always wonder if any of them got drunk while tasting. As far as I know you are only supposed to sip each one but I always picture someone who is a real drinker taking more than just sips!Have you ever been to a wine tasting? Did the alcohol affect you at all? How did the other people react after a couple of "sips"?

Hello ctrymuziklvr.
I hawe been to several wine tasting and i newer get drunk there beacuse you only take a small zip then only hawe it in your muth and get the taste of it, then you spit it out so you newer drink the wine on a wine taste, and you take a drink of water after ewery wine you taste.
Hawe a nice day.

Well, I've learned something from this discussion. I was under the impression that one drank the wine each time. I'm happy to know that it's spit out.

I can understand the point of wine-tasting if you are a pub landlord or something like that, maybe even a wine lover. For most other people I find it fairly pointless... I like wine, and I'd be a lot more likely to go to a wine tasting if you got to swallow it instead of spit it out;) x

I'm jealous! You know that it is spit out! I had no idea. I agree with you though. Even though I'm not a drinker I would rather swallow the wine than spit it out.

I have been to several and have not gotten drunk. You only sip a little at a time from different wines. However, after a while the taste buds don't work as well and it was difficult to taste the difference in wines.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ctrymuziklvr (4473)   ranked 266 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

That is something I think has to be so true. Our taste buds can only do so much and do get "confused" after a while.

I have been to a couple.
I like wine and I am always looking for the perfect wine.
(Still havent found it LOL)
A couple of sips doesnt really affect me
but the problem is when i found one that I like I do a little more than just sip it. LOL
I guess its a good thing I dont usually drive myself to these functions.

I guess a wine tasting is the best way to find what could be your favorite. I'm sure I would get one mixed up with the other though.

I am a recovering alcoholic, so to me it makes no sense to put perfectly good wine in your mouth then spit it out, LOL. No I haven't been to one, and I can't ever for obvious reasons...*sigh*

I give you credit on your recovery. It's not an easy thing to do but I know it can be done. You probably wouldn't appreciate it even if you could go. I've learned that the wine is just spit out anyway!
