corporate hospitality office parties team building educational tastings popular tasting format some venues rave reviews wine tips	Popular Tasting Formats Its a fun and informative wine-tasting, and always done in a convivial team atmosphere! The principal advantages of this format are that everyone joins in AND learns quite a bit about wine-tasting - specifically how to recognise a quality wine. Seated but leisurely Without doubt our most popular format involves guests tasting as a teams of 6-9, seated together aiming to identify quality and various elements of the various "blind" pairs of wines tasted. Either six or eight wines which retail in the High Street for anywhere from £5.99 to £25.00 on average per bottle are enjoyed. After an introductory talk to get everybody up to speed, the teams compete – answering the questions together. Also, our crib sheets provide vital clues.

		Which of the two wines seems more ready to drink?
		Would you guess the winemaker was Hank or Jean-Pierre?
		Which of these wines is likely to be the more expensive?
	Knowing all about unheard of vineyards in Burgundy, or the merits of different claret vintages of the 1990's is certainly not the idea, but, AS A TEAM, being able to discern various basic characteristics of wines tasted is the objective. Invariably, the element of competition and education combine to ensure truly memorable entertainment. Everybody has an opportunity to contribute and a civilised "pub quiz" atmosphere develops.
	Motivation is provided by the Champagne prizes and just ...winning. Table setting's can be juggled by the host to get the most from the event. At the conclusion, Champagne prizes are for the winning tables. Guests are given a list of the wines tasted so that they can pop into Oddbins, Majestic, Tesco or wherever on the High Street to buy their favourites.
	The standing & milling-about option Sometimes time or space do not permit the luxury of being seated and working in groups. An alternative for guests to mingle "a la cocktail party" and taste at leisure both white and red wines "blind", and at the end of the event hand in their answers. This format works very well with a mixture of sparkling wines and Champagne.An introductory talk sets the scene and our speaker is on hand throughout to give tasting tips and hints. The winners get a bottle of Vintage Champagne all to themselves!
