Wine tasting events are becoming more and more popular. From college classrooms to vacations to Napa Valley, if youre going to a wine tasting event and arent familiar with the protocol, youll stick out like a sore thumb.
The first thing to note when you go to a wine tasting event is that the staff at various tasting rooms are there to help educate you, not be snooty. It is perfectly acceptable to bring a pad of paper and a pen to take notes. Also, if the staff member doesnt mention a type of wine that youre interested in, its okay to ask for a specific kind.
The order of the wines usually goes from light to heavy and then from dry to sweet. Since some wines dont follow others very well, its best to take the staffs advice when deciding which wines to try first. You dont have to try every wine that is offered to you, and you dont have to finish the entire glass that is poured for you. If you find one that you dont like, discreetly dump the remainder of the glass into the dump bucket.

If you dont want to swallow all of the wine that you taste, you may spit it out. Under no circumstances are you to spit into the dump bucket. Instead, ask for a disposable spit cup. Experts are torn about gurgling and swishing, but most agree that when youre in doubt its best to err on the side of being discreet.
Wine tasting can be a lot of fun, but not if youre wearing lots of cologne or perfume. Not only do the scents interfere with your ability to enjoy the wine objectively and without interference, but it affects your neighbors as well. The best option is to go without for the day.
