Summary:
"With growing appreciation of wine around the world, there is increasing interest in the skills of wine experts...This book outlines what is currently known about the tasting skills of wine experts and presents the results of a range of studies on the role of memory in wine tasting. Overall the results add to a growing body of evidence to suggest that wine tasting skills are not simply based on basic perceptual sensitivity relating to tasting and smelling the elements of wine, such as aromas and flavours. Rather verbal long-term memory plays a vital role during some wine-related tasks. Another important finding is that the accuracy of wine expert descriptions and perceptual memories are far from perfect. For those looking to understand more about the psychology of wine tasting this book gives a fascinating insight into wine expertise and its development."
