Tasting

Informations about "Tasting" in news+stories

Testing and evaluating food by tasting (eating or drinking). In professional wine tastings, this means a sensory (organoleptic) examination and qualitative evaluation of a wine carried out as objectively as possible according to precisely defined rules and criteria = wine evaluation, as well as a verbal description of the impressions of colour, smell and taste obtained in the process, using terms that are as standardised and generally understandable as possible = wine address.

Evaluation

The evaluation is carried out according to an identical points system for all tasters, the most common internationally are the 20-point and 100-point systems. The tasting takes place in a neutral, undisturbed environment in order to ensure the most objective judgement possible (picture left). Between wines, the taste buds should always be neutralised by eating crackers and drinking still water.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
