Wine tasting is a specialised job and in Switzerland , France and Germany they have courses conducted for them. It is a very sought after profession there although I am told very few are able to rise and become perfect ...I have attended a short lecture conducted by  wine tasters at a vineyard in Germany and I was amazed to hear how intricate the course is and how sensitive ones senses need to be..

Exactly. Wine tasters should be endowed with very sensitive organs especially their tasting buds.. After all sensitive organs play a pivotal role in a Wine taster's life.

I don't agree, what a wine taster will do if he passed out after consuming the first sample. So, I feel he should have good capacity of drinking more than his taste buds.

 

If he passed out after after consuming the first sample, it says that the wine is very strong. Then automatically the other things follow in quick succession. He will be shown the exit.

I doubt if a wine taster would be as stupid as that...Normally they only take a drop of wine and are able to grade it through the smell and flavor. They definitely dont get drunk on wine !

Yes. Sunil made the comment in a lighter vein. And my response was also in a lighter vein.

It is saying  " Bund Bund se Ghra Bharta hai" If wine taster taste 100 samples than it enough for him to loose control. Some wine are much strong. Here two products of Sri gangnagar Sugar mill "Kesar Kasturi and Jagmohan know for its strongness.

They may not taste 100 wines a day because I doubt as many new wines are produced in a single day in a place...But I am sure they do taste a few at least and they know their job so no worries ..

There will be several Wine tasters. A single wine taster need not taste 100 samples.

No company in the world introduces many wines everyday. Wine tasting is unlike tea tasting which is based on blending of different kinds of tea and taste them. No single produce however good in quality will taste good in its original form but it will have to be mixed with other produces even if from the same garden but blended in different way and developed differently.
