Roman Wine Tasters" is a Victorian era painting by Dutch-British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, created in 1874. Renowned for his works focusing on Greco-Roman themes, Alma-Tadema further extends this oeuvre with this piece. The painting, done on wood panel, reveals a scene from the daily life of an ancient Roman household.

The focus of the composition is a group of young men engaged in the act of wine tasting. From left to right, the tasters display various expressions signifying reactions to the wine's taste; a testament to Alma-Tadema's detailed portrayal of human emotions.

The interior setting, replete with architectural details and everyday objects, combines austerely elegant Roman stonework with the vibrant colors of exotic flowers, fruits and textiles. The blue and white striped sofa, the marble floor, and the simple yet expensive ware, all hint at the affluence of the household depicted.

Alma-Tadema, who was known for his meticulous attention to the accurate depiction of ancient materials and artifacts, used the painting to present the viewers with a well-researched image of Roman interior design as well as social practices. Lastly, the use of light in the painting, streaming in from a source beyond the viewer's gaze, creates an atmospheric quality that enhances the visual richness of the scene.

"The Roman Wine Tasters" is considered a significant work in Alma-Tadema's career and an important contribution to Victorian era 'Classical Revival' painting that was prominent during the period.
