swilling it around oxidizes the wine a bit, to open it up. it affects the taste and nose of the glass. also, tasting the wine is totally acceptable during the "tasting" to accept the bottle. 99% of bottles I've had were good, so it's mostly a formality. -Yank from Northern California where we drink high quality wine.
Its all pretence to promote his Etiquette business, he is really funny and quite down to earth His humour is very dry and crude. There was something related to Shawn Mendeze's song Stitches, and Bill (who is gay) said "After I finish with him, he will be needing stitches"
I wonder..who made all these rules up? God? Its beyond ridiculous…all my respects but I hope behind all that politeness there is empathy and kindness….I ll taste the wine since I pay for it😂😂😂
I love your vids but as a serious lover of wine (1) a little swirl enhances the sniff (2) I agree checking for cork taint is important it’s far from the only thing, and after an interesting chat with the sommelier who’s suggested a wine new to me it’s nuts NOT to taste it when it’s brought for approval.
Here I have to disagree. It is proper to first sniff the cork on red wine. Lightly swirl the glass so the red wine swishes up one-third of the glass. Raise it and slightly tip back to see how wide the “legs” are. Then set down. Wait a slight bit and sniff it. Set it down to show patience. Then take a slight sip – just to make sure it is delicious without a sour taste. Then nod to the sommelier and thank him or her the perfect pour (and recommendation).

Very disrespectful to film tik toks while in a restaurant! Do not listen to this man
The stem is for the server, the bowl is for the guest. Barbarian!

Poncy indeed
Tell that to Jordan Shlansky from Conan Obrien.

He just called me too poncy. I'll take it lol
You lost me at, give it a delicate Sniff
Elegant shit
He had to suppress a smirk with the word “poncy”

Shut up.
I find corked wine to smell like wet socks. And it’s always that one bottle you took with you to that party away from home.
Here's to taste wine, don't taste it.. what, mate, you're mad
Your teeth suggest you’ve already been enjoying some kind sir
This one time at wine camp I gave it a rather harsh sniff instead of delicate one.

You’re supposed to slurp it to get the full flavor.
