wine taster
Sips and spits
A wine taster is someone who evaluates wine professionally or as a serious hobby, assessing appearance, aroma, and flavor.
The term also refers to a shallow metal cup traditionally used for sampling wine, with dimpled surfaces that catch light to reveal the wine's color and clarity: The sommelier wore a wine taster on a chain around his neck.
