spit bucket
Tasting room vessel
A spit bucket is a container for expelling wine at tastings, allowing participants to sample many wines without becoming intoxicated.
Professional tasters use them routinely; casual drinkers often feel awkward about it: I finally learned to use the spit bucket instead of swallowing every pour.
The term extends to any receptacle for spitting—in dental offices, boxing corners, or chewing tobacco contexts.
