Hello wine lovers! Share the knowledge of soy wine, so that people who love wine know more about wine, and people who love wine drink good wine
I am Maotai wine taster, Ah Hong.
Today I share a knowledge point with wine lovers, many wine lovers wrote to me privately saying, when you compare tasting (wine tasting), why don't you drink water?
Today, I will talk to wine lovers about why sommeliers drink water during wine tasting. What is the purpose of drinking water? whisky tasting What is the purpose of drinking water? What kind of situations do we not drink water when we normally taste wine! Unless we sometimes go to the factory to give a long wine tasting to others, we will bring a bottle of water!
When a professional wine taster tastes wine for a long time, the taste buds and sense of smell will be stimulated for a long time, and his sensitivity will be reduced and weakened. The purpose of drinking water is to reduce the stimulation of the mouth, so that the taste buds can be relieved, and then quickly recover their sensitivity.
Sometimes we also drink a little water when comparing and evaluating many wines, but of course there is another role for drinking water, that is, when two wines are compared and evaluated, we also drink a little water to prevent crosstalk, but it is not necessary to drink water. This is not something that must be done
A professional sommelier, he or she will protect their taste buds and sense of smell very well, their own requirements are also very high, eating and drinking will be very careful, his or her taste buds and sense of smell are very sensitive, and recovery is very fast, as long as we take a short break in the tasting, he or she can immediately restore his or her sensitivity, so that we in the tasting time. Occasionally drink a little water, drink water is to reduce its sense of irritation, is also to reduce the string taste, but do not necessarily do so.
But it is not necessary to do so, this is the misunderstanding of wine lovers, we can rest a little to let the taste buds quickly restore its sensitivity, we will also drink water, but also to rest a little, if we drink water immediately after the wine tasting, wine is bitter, just like I shared before! After drinking a drink and then go to drink the same is bitter, so that must keep the mouth clean, the so-called clean is no matter it (miscellaneous taste) We rinse the mouth still have to rest, and then go to taste or say again to taste a few more mouthfuls it will be accurate, because the first sip of water into it is bitter wine is not accurate, the first taste buds reaction is also inaccurate, so that in the wine tasting, why Do not gargle with water for this problem.
