HERE'S SOME INFORMATION I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:
Traditionally, the sommelier always tasted the wine before serving guests, says Madeline Triffon, wine director for the Matt Prentice Restaurant Group. The silver cup worn around the sommelier's neck, known as a tastevin, is just for that purpose. When Triffon embarked on her sommelier career in the late '70s, "the tastevin was an accepted part of formal service, like wearing a tuxedo." The custom did not fall out of style until the early to mid-'80s, she says. This was perhaps because consumers became more educated about wine, and more confident in their powers of evaluation.
But the first sip isn't taken in order to evaluate the wine. It's poured for one purpose only: to find out if there is a major flaw, such as the wine being corked, or blighted by oxidation or improper storage. That's an objective assessment that the sommelier can make just as well as you. And since it is not pleasant to taste a wine that is redolent of armpit, you should be quite happy to let the sommelier take on that task.
