Only that guy failed before even spitting in his own face. He was screwing up Pretentious Wine Snobbery by the numbers. 1. Hold glass by stem, not bowl. 2. Swirl, dammit. (Bonus points for swirling casually, with wine rising to just under the rim, all while looking at something across the room or talking to someone. Negative points for spilling it on yourself. Automatic game over if you spill on your date or whoever you are trying to impress.) 3. After the first sip, while holding the wine in your mouth, inhale through your lips to help liberate volatile aromatics before doing the chewy-looking thing. 4. Use the spit bucket, FFS. You don't spit back into your own glass. If doing a tasting, no one is going to give you a fresh glass for each different wine.
Though spitting is a good idea. If you are tasting a few dozen wines, I don't care HOW induced your liver is. You'll feel the effects. Only the really good wines go down the throat.
Wine tasting is like certain other things. Spitting is the general rule. Swallowing is only for true love.

Shit, I just unscrew the lid and start chugging. I'll find out what it tastes like when it comes back up.
