The story “Taste” by Roald Dahl is told in the first person, from the point of view of the narrator, whose name is unknown, because he is not the main character in this work.
He is present at a family dinner at the house of a stockbroker, where a gourmet wine connoisseur is also invited. The narrator tells about the established tradition between the host of the house and the gourmet - to make a bet.
The essence of the bet is to test the skill of a gourmet, his ability to taste, smell, determine the vine, harvest, variety, aging, brand of wine, etc.
It was funny how it would all be finished, the ending makes readers smile.
Here is the link to the text of the story:
