WikiProject Wine open tasks:

I know degustation is French for tasting, but my understanding was that there was something of an order you should procede with in order to ensure that the taste of the previous wines don't over power the next sample.

True, I will adjust--Gsherry 00:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

1 Article title should be "Wine tasting"
2 Evaluation
3 How-to?
4 Merge of Wine serving temperature
5 Merge of Vertical and horizontal wine tasting
6 Merge of Blind wine tasting

[edit] Article title should be "Wine tasting"

Use common names. See [{Wikipedia:Naming conventions]]. Gene Nygaard 17:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Exactly. The term "wine degustation" is laughable. Zaian 22:45, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. The term "wine degustation" is rarely used. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-10 22:51

This article has deteriorated from an overview on tasting wine, to a narrow discussion primarily focused on spitting wine out. Must have been edited by a beer drinker!

[edit] Evaluation

I would like to remove the new evaluation section. The grammar is poor, it doesn't talk about actual evaluation and it's points -- subjectivity of tasting, temperature, etc -- are uncited. Objects? Gsherry 00:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, reading that section made me come to the talk page. Go ahead and remove it. PeterMottola 02:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How-to?

Is it just me, or is this article a little bit too much How-to guide and not enough encyclopedia? I really have absolutely zero knowledge of the subject, so I'm not exactly sure how it could be improved, either. Although I can forsee some eventual cutting down, I think that doing that now would be very bad. This probably includes what Gsherry was talking about. -- Anaraug 08:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Wine serving temperature

It has been proposed that Wine serving temperature into Wine tasting:

I agree that it should be merged somewhere, but wine temperature is broader than wine tasting. I would prefer somewhere else but not sure where. So, if nobody can suggest a better place, I support this merge. --Bduke 21:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Vertical and horizontal wine tasting

It has been proposed that Vertical and horizontal wine tasting into Wine tasting:

Support. Agree completely. --Bduke 21:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Blind wine tasting

It has been proposed that Blind wine tasting into Wine tasting:

Support. Agree completely. --Bduke 21:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Support. Blind wine tasting is little more than a paragraph, and an incompletely referenced one at that. Nunquam Dormio 20:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Support. Makes complete sense. ◄scharks► 22:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
