Answers:
before they drink some wine 2 clean their taste buds so they get the full flavor and it doesnt mix with the current flavor in your mouth (from other drinks, food, bad breath)!. before liquor to lessen the nasty taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To cleanse the pallet and remove any other taste from the mouth!. Sometimes, people like the taste of lemons and bite them for the sole purpose of taste, similar to putting lemon in your water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's for straight tequila shots!.

A bit of salt, off the wrist, a taste of lemon, down the hatch!.
Lemon acts like a mixer!.
Mexican custom!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think of this as a 'pretensious wine snob thing'!. I believe they are 'cleaning their palettes' so they can taste the true flavor of the drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
