Vertical and horizontal wine tastings are wine tasting events that are arranged to highlight differences between similar wines.

• In a vertical tasting, different vintages of the same wine type from the same winery are tasted. This emphasizes differences between various vintages.

• In a horizontal tasting, the wines are all from the same vintage but are from different wineries. Keeping wine variety or type and wine region the same helps emphasize differences in winery styles.
