    我們經常聽到人們說試酒、評酒和品酒,這些名詞究竟有什麼分別?

    試酒:
    是人人都可以,只要大家喜歡品嘗美酒,便可以試酒,純粹為個人興趣,亦可以增進對不同產地、品種的葡萄酒的認知。

    評酒:
    就某種酒類撰寫評論和給予評分,結果足以影響酒的銷量,甚至能左右一些著名酒莊的訂價。

    品酒:
    這項專業工作是品酒師的職責,負責妥善儲存葡萄酒和編訂酒牌,為餐廳和客人選擇最適合的酒,意見要客觀和適合市場需要,並與廚師有默契,配合餐膳。


    抵飲又好飲

    香港品酒師行業與經濟發展息息相關。早於94、95年間,當香港被認為是極具潛質發展葡萄酒市場後,葡萄酒熱潮瞬即突起。然而,當時的酒商、酒店和餐廳對此熱潮均沒有做好準備,以致在提供享用葡萄酒的服務上做得未盡完善。1997年是葡萄酒市場進一步走向頂峰的時期,不過,當時人們普遍仍不懂得怎樣妥善儲存葡萄酒,入口商擺放在碼頭和貨倉的葡萄酒很多時會因為存放不當或照顧不善而變壞,造成很大的損失,令市場開始注重擁有葡萄酒知識的專才。

    1997年後,香港受亞洲金融風暴衝擊,經濟持續下滑,加上葡萄酒稅在2002年由60%大幅提升至80%,使香港成為鄰近亞洲地區中葡萄酒稅最重的災區,香港的葡萄酒市場大受打擊,雖然現時隨經濟好轉而逐步復蘇,但人們的消費力相對仍低,品酒師現時為客人揀選的葡萄酒,以「既抵飲又好飲」為主。各位下次幫襯餐廳時,不妨留意餐廳有否僱用品酒師,如果有的話,向他取一些選酒心得吧!
