    Even spitting you still swallow a bit. Most in the trade spit at tastings into the spit buckets. You’ll be fine trying 5 wines in an hour but I would be tasting dozens of wines for hours. It adds up after a while.

      Impressive. Most of us get palate fatigue around 20 or so. Would imagine your BAL would still be legally fine, but everyone has different tolerance.

        After a few dozen you are tipsy. If there’s booze it’s a different story. This tasting always had Hans Reisetbauer near the door with his incredible eau de vies.
