品酒
时间：品酒有BlindTasting(盲目测试)及ComparativeTasting(比较测试)之分，最佳的试酒、品酒时间为上午10：00左右。这个时间不但光线充足，而且人的精神及味觉也较能集中。
次序：若同时品尝多款酒时，应该要从口感淡的到口感重的，这样才不会因为前一支酒的浓重而破坏了后一支酒的味道，所以，一般的通则是干白酒会在红酒之前，甜型酒会在干型酒之后，新年份在旧年份之前。温度：品尝葡萄酒时，温度是非常重要的一环，若在最适合的温度饮用时，不仅可以让香气完全散发出来，而且在口感的均衡度上，也可以达到最完美的境界。通常红酒的适饮温度要比白酒来得高，因为它的口感比白酒来得厚重，所以，需要比较高的温度才能引出它的香气。因此，即使只是单纯的红酒或白酒，也会因为酒龄、甜度等因素，而有不同的适饮温度。
