The practice of wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine, and a tradition as ancient as wine itself. Wine tasting and how you taste wine could just as well be called wine smelling based on the physiology of the process, according to Jordan Ross, enology expert. Mr. Ross would be quick to point out that when it comes to the practice of wine tasting, taste and smell are often confused, and when one talks about the taste of a wine we are referring to sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami - all picked up by taste receptors on our tongue. But much of what is called taste - spice, cherry, red currant - is actually our sense of smell.
