Pour, sniff and enjoy - online tasting among wine enthusiasts

You probably feel the same way as we do and all the news about a specific bacillus will probably come out to your ears as well. The virus, whose name probably does not need to be named at this point, has only given us little in the last few months. Instead of going to cocktail parties and champagne brunches, we've all inevitably become couch potatoes. We think: Despite these circumstances (or maybe because of that?) we should dedicate our new everyday life as housewives and househusbands to limitless enjoyment as best we can. At this point, let's applaud the endless expanses of digitization that are shifting our social contacts to the virtual and (at least still) unrestricted level.

With a half-bottle you defy the current restrictions and embark on an enjoyable wine tasting with your clique, your sweetheart or with colleagues - virtually and absolutely Corona-compliant from your four walls. At this point we would like to emphasize once again that the train for the journey to half-bottle-tasting land has already left. Still, it's worth sticking with it, because we wouldn't be us if we didn't have an ace up our sleeve just for you...

Half bottle x Sommliners on the hunt for fine wines

As an expert for virtual events, Sommliners brings people together - and at the same time brings the best wine to men and women (and of course to everyone who doesn't want to make a decision). Just like us! One would like to claim perfect match!

True to the motto "first come, first served", a limited number of lucky wine lovers were able to get a ticket and in return received a varied wine package with three high-quality wines. We made ourselves comfortable in front of the fireplace or on the cozy couch before logging in to the (more or less) well-versed group of wine connoisseurs via computer, tablet or smartphone. Et voilà: Punctually from 7 p.m. the listeners were completely devoted to the descriptive words of the charming sommliner Giorgia.

You may rightly doubt whether enjoying three bottles of wine in one evening could not be a bit rash? We agree with you: In the interests of your liver, we warmly advise against an “I never say no to vino” attitude. Instead, we rely on conscious enjoyment, which is steered in the right direction by our half-bottle wine bottles in the practical 0.375 liter format. You can savor every drop of the small bottle down to the last sip with a clear conscience, without suffering from an annoying hangover the following day. We don't want to praise ourselves, but the small bottles are actually made for an extensive wine tasting.

Winetastic, but thankfully not vinous

Oh, and did we already mention that the exclusive half-bottle advent calendar was raffled off among all participants at the Sommliners tasting? Now don't stick your head in the sand, because now we're going to give you a drink: on the one hand, the Advent season has long since come to an end, which means that you don't have to mourn the advent calendar a bit less. On the other hand, it won't be long before you and your friends can finally secure coveted places for the next online tasting! And it gets even better: In the near future there will also be themed trips entirely in the half-bottle style. You can remain curious, because maybe you are already enjoying your next glass between wine and vines at the foot of the Rhine?

With a half-bottle you will discover a new world of full-bodied aromas during the online tasting. All the utensils you need for this exquisite taste experience will be conveniently delivered to your front door. Incidentally, our team will provide you with well-kept insights that will sharpen your senses and take your enjoyment of wine to a new level. So be sure to keep an eye on our news, because “Wine O'Clock” will be back soon!
