How to become an international senior sommelier?

1. Yes, the sommelier does drink a lot, or the total amount of wine that turns around in the sommelier's mouth may not be less than that that drunk drinks into his stomach. However, unlike drinkers, sommeliers drink "sample" instead of "quantity" Maybe you have boasted to others that "I drink more wine than you drink water", and if you stand in front of a sommelier, you may just say, "Rafi, I drink a lot. What do you think of it? "

2. Don't smoke or eat irritating food. The researchers stimulated the subject's tongue with a weak current. It has been found that smokers usually need stronger current to produce corresponding reactions. In other words, smoking will not only induce many oral diseases, but also have a serious impact on taste buds, just as the public service advertisement said. In addition, irritating food like pepper, if eaten too much, will not only make the esophagus hot, but also destroy the taste bud cells, leading to a gradual decline in taste. Therefore, sommeliers should not only quit smoking, but also try to eat some light food, so as to maintain the taste.

3. Constantly enrich your knowledge of brewing. Do you think a sommelier will be fine after passing the qualification certificate? No, just like if you are an English major, even if the English course at school is excellent, there is no guarantee that you will fully understand what others mean and answer questions in front of foreigners. Even in the Chinese we speak every day, the meaning of the same sentence is subtle and even quite different for people with different knowledge and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, any winemaker should constantly enrich his knowledge of winemaking, pay attention to the information of the wine industry at any time, and keep up with the laws and regulations on the wine market promulgated by the central government. If you don't do this, "hate less when using books" will be an embarrassment that keeps appearing on you.

4. Exercise regularly to keep your brain awake. A quick-acting nervous system is a sign of health for any ordinary person, and at the same time, a "brain" is indispensable for any occupation. Needless to say, the benefits of exercise. As mentioned above, the protection of taste bud function only involves the input end of nervous system, and the maintenance of human CPU- brain can not be ignored. Some data show that exercise can not only improve the content of brain-strengthening hormones, but also improve the executive functions of the brain, such as better focusing on complex tasks, abstract thinking and careful planning.

5. Keep a positive mood. As chicken soup says, "Happiness makes people wise". For any skilled profession, keeping a positive mood is an important maintenance secret. We all have this experience. Once we are in a good mood, the food is delicious, the people are beautiful, the difficulties can be solved and the resources can be enjoyed. In short, optimism can also make you taste wine better.
