Wine tasting club Club Vino releases brand-new home tasting packages perfect for lockdown

Despite being mid-way through a second country-wide lockdown in an attempt to combat the rapid spread of coronavirus, guided wine tasting is still possible thanks to Club Vino’s new at home packages. The boutique wine tasting club founded by wine sommelier Marco Castelanelli has launched a new collection of home tastings which make for the perfect weekend retreat or festive gift for those eager to savour a fruity Rioja or appreciate the finest Sauvignon Blanc.

Each Club Vino package includes six premium bottles of wine from carefully selected, family-owned vineyards around the world, with the option to choose a white, rosé, red, sparkling, or mixed case. Customers also receive tasting notes, pairing suggestions, and printable glass markers along with a video guide which means the tasting can be enjoyed at the recipient’s own pace.

Taking tasting virtual, head sommelier Marco Castelanelli will share the story behind each hand-picked bottle, including provenance and vineyard, via a video which can be viewed on demand. A sophisticated, fun way to spend an evening, the wine tasting can conveniently be completed at the wine lover’s own pace, be that in one sitting for a special night in or enjoyed across multiple days; something which live virtual tastings using platforms such as Zoom do not offer.

Club Vino is the first wine club to adapt to the challenges of COVID-19 and offer a fully guided wine tasting experience via video at home.

Founder and sommelier Marco Castelanelli said, “Club Vino is the only wine club currently offering this service and the feedback so far has been wonderful. Our customers are really enjoying the freedom of being able to experience a wine tasting experience in the comfort of their own home, with many telling us it makes the perfect lockdown activity for a special occasion or date night in.

“We have hand-selected an amazing range of wines from boutique and family-owned wineries around the world. With a range of different packages and a guided video, wine aficionados are free to tailor their tasting session to a time and place that suits by playing and pausing the video, rewinding or restarting as desired.”

Packages start from £110, including six bottles of wine and everything needed to host a luxury wine tasting evening at home.
