Why a Wine Tasting Mat Is a Must-Have for Your Next Tasting
Whether you're a budding wine enthusiast or a seasoned host of informal (or professional) tastings, a wine tasting mat is a simple yet effective tool that can elevate the experience. Perfect for sampling six wines, staying organised is key, and that’s where a tasting mat really proves its worth.
While grand tastings can feature dozens of bottles, a more typical wine tasting often includes six, conveniently half a case. It’s the ideal number: varied enough to compare different styles or regions, but not so many that your palate (or memory!) becomes overwhelmed.
During tastings, it’s common to take notes on each wine’s appearance, aroma, flavour, acidity, and overall impression. However, with several similar-looking glasses in front of you, it's surprisingly easy to lose track of which wine is which. Numbering each wine and having a clear, visual layout helps streamline the process and avoid confusion.
Introducing the Wineware Wine Tasting Mat
Instead of writing numbers on glass stems or fiddling with tags, why not use our purpose-designed Wine Tasting Mat? Created by Wineware, it’s practical, user-friendly, and adds a professional touch to your tastings.
Place each wine glass on the numbered circles (1 to 6) in your preferred tasting order. As you sample each wine, return the glass to its designated spot to keep your lineup in order. You can jot down tasting notes separately in a notebook or on your preferred device, whichever suits your style.
