You really donât need to swallow at a wine tasting. In fact youâll be able to taste a lot more without starting to affect your judgment if you donât.

Working in the booze biz you are sadly correct though. I had a wine rep a few years back offer to pay for my parking in NYC if I went to a tasting. I told him I was taking the train and he was surprised. He shouldnât be.

Even spitting you still swallow a bit. Most in the trade spit at tastings into the spit buckets. Youâll 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 thereâs booze itâs a different story. This tasting always had Hans Reisetbauer near the door with his incredible eau de vies.

I thought it was a matter of severity, with DUI being over the limit but not obviously impaired and DWI driving while thereâs no doubt that youâre drunk, leading to more severe punishment?

Thereâs actually been a trend of shifting the language to âowiâ or âoperating while intoxicatedâ since the law is the same whether youâre operating a car, a bike, a boat or a dump truck

That is not my understanding though I am not a lawyer.
