Now that is an interesting hazard to one's job. Never thought of that being an issue but it mkes a lot of sense.
Oops! I think they're supposed to spit it out, aren't they?
Good one.
LOL...at least he didn't fall in a barrel and attempt to drink his way out! Great work here...

Like a recovering alcoholic tending bar - too much temptation.
A big hazzard methinks Beach!
Well yes but someone with a drink problem wouldn't would they AJ? :0
If he'd fallen in he probably would have Sandi!
Correct SAW!
Interesting dilemma ... and clever word-smithing!
oh yes...not the job for an alcoholic, that's for sure!
oh good one! ha ha

I liked this one BIG TIME!
The last line was surprise, I was sure the it would be about him having to repeat the process to make sure he didn't really like any of them.

Ye Gods, he's supposed to taste not swallow. Anyone seen the spitoon?
Thanks Daryl x
Too right Polly!
Thankyou Bee x
Glad you enjoyed it Jim L)
Ah but he's in the wrong job Valerie ;)
Oh dear, now that's an occupational hazard and then some!
AA? He wasn't planning to drive was he? ;-)
He will need to AA everyday!
What better way to enjoy alcohol, to be able to taste it without swallowing it and the consequent after effects.
M'dear...your cleverness never ceases to impress me!
Excellent one!
And this would be like me, working at Godiva and not being able to eat chocolate - HA!
Happy Monday to you......X
Isn't it just Linda?
The other AA Anthony, but you knew that really didn't you? ;)
I guess so BankerChick.
I think he was swallowing it though Cheshire Wife!
Thankyou Ron. A job with too much temptation is very hard to bear. ;)
Great twist at the end--gave me a chuckle. Chief taster definitely should re-think his career options.
So he was a member of the Automobile Association? (Joke, sorry: another good one tripped me up!)
Wow, Chief likes a challenge. Not just time to renew AA membership...time for a new job!
Poor Chief!
Haha got you again Dumdad!
I think you're right Lisa!
Indeed Mama Zen :(
That certainly was a twist that I wasn't expecting.

Nuts in May
Ah, a cruel twist of fate to be both a wine taster and an AA member. Very clever!
