Sommelier = Wine Expert. While some wine consumers may consider themselves experts, a true wine expert is called a sommelier. A sommelier, also known as a wine steward, is a person that has undergone training in order to become extremely knowledgeable about wine. It can take many years of training to become a master sommelier.
Contrary to popular belief, a wine thief is not a person who is out to steal your wine. Rather, the wine thief is an invaluable tool that will simplify the process of testing your wine. This handy little contraption allows you to steal a bit of liquid from your evolving wine, thus the name, wine thief.
