Quaffer Experience

Wine Tasting

In the Quaffer Experience, we entertain and educate teams through a light-hearted and mildly competitive series of wine based challenges. Groups are separated into teams of five to complete each challenge:

Principles of Wine-Tasting - introduction by wine expert in how to taste and what to look for in wine.
Blind Wine Tasting - Discerning red and white wine on taste alone before graduating onto matching wines to tasting notes using all senses.
Blending and Branding Exercise - mix a selection of wines to create a new brand that should be named, priced etc.
Matching Wines to Menus - participants are given a selection of menus and wines. Using the knowledge gained earlier in the day, each team has to select the correct wine for the correct menu.
Investment Challenge - the date is 1980 and each team has a nominal £500 to invest in a selection of wines. Having made their selection we calculate the current value.
