 A common arrangement is to have a decrease in glass quality from center, Glass 1, to Glass 4 on one end and then from Glass 7 continue the decrease in quality out to the end glass or Glass 5.

A common arrangement is to have a decrease in glass quality from center, Glass 1, to Glass 4 on one end and then from Glass 7 continue the decrease in quality out to the end glass or Glass 5.  You might want to keep Glass 5 as a Table Glass (the glass that appeared on the table) which is Quality 0, of course.  An example of glass quality arrangement might be Glass 1 9k+, Glass 2 8k, Glass 3 6.5k, Glass 4 5k, Glass 5 Table Glass or Quality 0, Glass 6 2.4k, Glass 7 4.1k.  But how you place them is up to you. REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU DRINK AT SOMEONE ELSE'S TABLE.  We will explain in How to Drink for Maximum Points.
+The center glass should be your highest quality, ultimately a 9k+ wine glass.
 Glasses show flavor tiers. The highest quality glass, usually a 9k+ or 8k+ quality will show the most detailed of the three flavor tiers. The lowest quality will show the least detailed or most general of the three flavor tiers

	===Flavor testing===		===Flavor testing===
		+
		+	Particular flavors are needed in the Winebooks and for Test of Festivals.
		+
		+	The quickest way to know the young flavors of a vineyard spot: plant the vine, do 1 tend for maximum grapes(two vines next to each other is good for this purpose so that you have 21 grapes to make one bottle of wine) , harvest, put multiples of 21 grapes in the wine barrel (labeling as: Flavor Test <coords of vineyard/s>) and instantly bottle (commonly called instabottling).
		+
		+	Serve at the Tasting Table.
		+
		+	KEEP IN MIND YOU MUST BOTTLE BEFORE THE CHANGE OF VINTAGE/EGYPTIAN MONTH, NOT JUST HARVEST OR PUT IN BARREL ONLY. This way you have more bottles for future tests. Since more flavors develop with later vintages (each vintage has a 'potential' of adding zero or more flavor/s), serving a bottle right after the vintage/Egyptian month you bottled in will reveal the flavors of two vintages.
		+
		+	After that, open a bottle each vintage or two to see if any new flavors have appeared.
		+
		+	Remember that flavors will be more specific when tasted 1) by someone with a higher palate and 2) out of a higher quality glass. For instance, a flavor could show up simply as 'woodiness' out of a lower quality glass, but may read as 'Oak' or 'Cedar' out of a higher quality glass.
		+
		+
		+	Theory is: when messages as 'Overwhelming' are shown at the taste testing that certain flavors that are appearing may have 'overwhelmed' or hidden some other flavors.
