I forgive Menachem for taking his tie off – in the interests of being intoxicated.

he is wearing a tie because he was “promoting” and signing he’s book. (BTW he did tastings all those wines waay before the public came in and then he wasnt wearing a tie)
..and i’ve been with him in other official wine tastings, he and other known wine criticts didnt waer tie.
If You Want To Wear One (or anybody else for that manner) are more then welcome there are no rules, these are just suggestions.

Mr. experienced wine critic is wearing a tie, so #$14’s explanation seems to come from …

but #11 – in which wine torah does it say a tie is necessary?

oy. everybody has to say something. this internet makes chachomim of all of us.

You dont wear ties on wine tastings !!! wine can easily drip on it.
for the same reason professionals dont wear light colored clothing.
yes looking good !! yes happy times !! 😉 😉
