You might have received Personalised Wine Bottles in Australia on your birthday. Or, a group of friends must have left you excited telling all great stories about a cellar door. Whatever inspired you for your first wine-tasting session, you took it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Alas! Things didn't turn up the way you expected them to.
A wine-tasting event has its own sets of dos and don'ts and you need to adhere to them. Let's review where did you falter.
Did You Hop between Too Many Venues?
Visiting too many wineries on the same day is a bad idea. It would leave you with inadequate time to spend at each venue. Next time, make sure you find out the best cellar door in Hunter Valley or the neighbourhood and devote your time to one wine-tasting event. Saving others for some days else would help you select the ones you would love to revisit.
Did You Wear Something Wrong?
A white or light-coloured dress was not meant for one such event. You should have worn a dark shade to hide the spills. High heels might have made you uncomfortable. A flat or shorter heel might have saved the day. Also, did you wear a heavy fragrance? It must have restricted your (and probably others as well) ability to enjoy how different wines smell.
Did You Forget to Take Notes?
In the excitement of your first wine club membership, did you forget to carry a small notebook? If yes, it must have deprived you of noting down the wines you approved. While at a wine-tasting meet, you may get to taste one glass of wine after another and so on. So, it is necessary to write down the names you want to remember.
Did You Decide to Feed Just on…Wine?
An empty stomach won’t let you enjoy wine tasting to its fullest. You might feel dizzy or vomit after every or a couple of glasses. Always prefer a light snacking session before you leave for the event. Also, drink an adequate amount of water throughout the event (if possible, take a few sips after every glass of wine).
Let bygones be bygones. As you receive your next wine-tasting invitation from a new Wine Club Subscription, prepare well and don’t let these mistakes spoil the fun.
