Posted on | December 10, 2007 | No Comments

“A shortage of professional tasters in the wine brewing industry will soon be eased as China has listed wine taster as a new profession in the country’s tenth batch of new professions,” reports state media.

The article states that more than 80 percent of China’s reported 15,600 wine companies have complained about the wine taster shortage. Approving wine tasting is expected to bring standardization to the profession.

Other newly approved professions are dairy product taster, kitchen manager and “nuts cook.”
