1. Don't drink as much as you like. Yes, sommeliers do drink a lot of wine, or the total amount of wine that has been turned around by sommeliers may not be less than that that drunk by alcoholics. However, unlike drinkers, sommeliers drink "sample" rather than "quantity". Maybe you have boasted to others that "I have drunk more wine than you have drunk water", and if you stand in front of a sommelier, you may just say, "Lafite, I have drunk a lot. What do you think is good about it?"

2. Don't smoke, don't eat irritating food. Researchers used weak current to stimulate subjects' tongues, and found that smokers generally need stronger current to produce corresponding responses. In other words, smoking will not only induce many oral diseases, but also have a serious impact on taste buds, as mentioned in public service advertisements. 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 that a sommelier will be all right after passing the qualification certificate? No, just like if you are an English major, even if the English courses at school are excellent, there is no guarantee that you will fully understand what others mean and answer questions in front of foreigners. Even in Chinese, which we speak every day, the meaning of the same sentence is subtle or even very different from that of people with different knowledge and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, any winemaker should constantly enrich his knowledge of winemaking, pay attention to the information of wine industry at any time, and keep up with the laws and regulations issued by the central government on the wine market. If you don't do this, "hate less when the book is used" will be an embarrassment that keeps appearing on you.

4. Exercise regularly and keep your brain awake. The nervous system with quick response is a sign of health for any ordinary person, and at the same time, you can't lack a "brain" in any occupation. Needless to say, the benefits of exercise. As mentioned earlier, 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 function 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, maintaining a positive mood is an important maintenance secret. We all have the experience that 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, being optimistic can also make you better at tasting wine.
