Evaluation of the consistency of wine quality assessments from expert wine tasters

摘要

Food and beverage quality has been defined as "the ability of a set of inherent characteristics of a product to fulfill the requirements of customers." Evaluation of wine quality is normally undertaken by "wine experts" - tasters whose experience andtraining allows them to evaluate whether defects are present and whether the wine typifies the variety, region, or style intended. But, as the authors note, this is no guarantee that individual experts will weigh the different dimensions of a wine in a similar way.
