The Diary of a Wine Geek French Wine Tasting Spittoon Spit Bucket is available at Amazon.com.
Everyone laughs when they hear the question "Should I spit or swallow my wine at a tasting?"
You might have seen people spitting out their wine at a wine tasting event.It is suggested that you spit out your wine at a wine tasting, despite the fact that this might sound rude and completely insane to beginner wine drinkers.
You wear a tie around your head and dance on the tables because you don't want to get sloshed.The spit buckets on the table at the tasting are not just for throwing out wine you don't like.
If other people at the tasting want to learn, they'll listen to the winemakers or the sommelier talk about the wine.Learning about the wines is more difficult when people get tipsy.Have fun.Wine is just a delicious grape juice that has a little buzz.You should be respectful of the people around you and the things that went into making that wine so you can decide if you like it after one sip.
Some people call it a dump bucket or a spittoon, but the common name is spit bucket.
Don't laugh when someone spits wine.Spitting allows a person tasting wine to stay sober and better assess the flavours of each wine.
Even if you don't drink wine, you will still enjoy it.While the majority of taste buds are on your tongue, you also have some in your lips, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth.The majority of your taste experience will come from your tongue.
You can get the full effect of the wine if you spit it out.The goal is to make sure that the wine hits every part of your mouth.Put it over your tongue, cheeks, and roof of your mouth.If you like it that way, you can gargle it.The structural elements of the wine, like the body, acidity, and alcohol, need to be sloshed around so that you can experience the flavour.Some of the wine is going to trickle down your throat and meet up with the people that are hanging out there.No matter how much you spit, you are probably swallowing too.
You will.If you end up with your skirt hiked up around your waist trying to do the River Dance in the middle of a bunch of wine snobs, you will look worse than if you spit.Spitting looks stupid.It looks stupid to be wasted at a wine tasting event.Pick stupid.
You are not the only one spitting.stupid loves companyWe look silly spitting out our wine.That is okay.For the day, consider it your good deed.
