Term (also flight, swarm, passage, series, partial tasting) for a round at a professional tasting (wine tasting). A group of wines that have a certain relationship to each other is served and tasted together. For example, these can be different wines from a certain growing region and/or grape variety and/or vintage and/or price range and/or wine type. Depending on the objective, however, any conceivable grouping is of course possible. The wine glasses are placed next to each other so that a quick comparison can be made with the possibility of repetition (tasting several times). As a rule, at least three wines are compared.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
