Wondering what your take is on the technique of evaluating a wine by
the typical one sip and spit method, used of necessity at wine

I find that one sip can be used to rule out a bad wine, but it's not
enough to fully appreciate the good ones. In other words, wines that
are merely good upon sipping at first later get better the more of
them I drink (i.e., don't spit), while others do not

So, it looks to me that to fully evaluate a wine, one has to drink it.

I agree. When I took my wine exams a few years, I was taught to use the
swill and spit method to evaluate the wines, and to help choose those that
one should "spit backwards"!
