winetasting
Sipping and judging
Winetasting is the practice of sampling and evaluating wines, typically focusing on appearance, aroma, flavor, and finish.
It may be a casual social activity at a vineyard or tasting room, or a formal assessment by professionals who judge quality and character.
The compound is sometimes written as two words or hyphenated.
We spent the afternoon winetasting in Napa Valley.
