wine tasting
Sipping and judging
Wine tasting is the practice of evaluating wine by examining its appearance, aroma, and flavor.
Professional tastings assess quality and detect flaws; casual tastings at wineries or events let visitors sample varieties before buying.
The verb phrase taste wine is ordinary, but wine tasting implies a more deliberate, often social activity: We went wine tasting in Napa.
