Have you ever gone Wine Tasting?!
I'd like to hear some funny stories.
Answers: Did you get drunk while you were there?

Yes you can get drunk, so have a designated driver or hire a limo. Yes the sample sizes are small .5-1 oz but you try 8 different wines at 6-8 different vintners, well you can do the math. Chat up your server and you may get bonus sips. Done the whole Sideway's thing many a time and gotten adiment for more crackers! Boy did I have the munchies! At one point my friends and I had enough wine club memberships between us that we had a whole circuit where we did not have to pay for our tastings. They are not always free and average between $3-8 a visit but are usually waved off the price if you buy a couple of bottles.
i went w/ my husband when we were in arkansas for a family reunion. usually they won't let you get drunk. that's why they have all the cheese and crackers our for you to munch on.
Normally they give you the samples in very small amounts. It's not usually an ideal setting for getting drunk unless you buy a bottle and chill out. Some of the nicer places give the option to buy cheese or other snacks that compliment the wine.
People who are really into wine tasting don't drink wine to get drunk.
Oh yes, I could sip my way up the coast to wine country. I dig it. sip,sip,sip...
No it is considered bad taste to get drunk at a wine tasting.
Usually, what people do is go on the wine tasting and get a number of different very small samples just to see which wine(s) they like. Then they will usually buy a bottle or 2 of the wines that they liked.
Then later in the evening people will go back to their hotel and drink the wine they just bought in larger amounts.
Now a tequila tasting that is different. Those are in Mexico and people can and do get drunk on those. lol
Went to a winery that offered "tasting trays"- each tray held about a dozen different kinds of wine in small glasses. I had the misfortune of bumping into a red wine tray and dumping it all over my mother (who was wearing cream colored pants). She forgave me probably because I wasn't drunk and acting stupid.
No, I was going to go to the one at the Biltmore (I would have had grape juice, I'm not old enough to drink), but we ran out of time.
