(FILES) In this file photo taken on January 28, 2019, a person serves Chateau d'Yquem wine during a tasting at the Chateau d'Yquem in Sauternes, southwestern France. - For professionals, winemakers, oenologists, sommeliers, wine merchants, to taste the wine, it is to look at it, to air it, to smell it, and to taste it. But especially spit it out, mastering at best the art of distinguished spitting. For the 7,000 or so professional oenologists in France, the world's leading exporter of wine in value, "spitting is a commonplace gesture" because they can test up to a hundred juices a day, says Olivier Thienot, director of the Ecole du Vin de France.
