How to Host a Successful Wine Tasting Event (even if you know nothing about wine!)
Many bar owners steer away from offering more than a handful of quarter bottles of wine due to lack of knowledge or experience with this drink of the Gods. However, ignoring the opportunities that wine offers your business means you could be turning away business without even knowing it.
One way to increase your customer numbers midweek or during the slow season is to host a wine tasting event .Now I know what most of you are saying: "We don't know enough about wine to host a wine tasting", or "I wouldn't know where to begin..."!
But before you knock this idea on it's head, consider the following:
1. A Wine Tasting Event allows you to create awareness in the community of your wine list and drinks menu. 2. It allows you the opportunity to fill the bar with thirsty wine enthusiasts on nights where you would otherwise be quiet. 3. It positions you as an expert in the wine field and builds trust in you and your bar. 4. It rewards existing customers with "something for nothing". 5. It can create a following of new customers keen to return again and again. 6. It can be sponsored by your wine suppliers and thus end up costing you nothing.
With these benefits in mind, we have created the ultimate 25 page booklet to guide you through every step of the process from planning to execution including the following sections:
Introduction – Wine Tasting. About Wine. Different Types of Wine. Production. Uses of Wine. Glassware. About Wine Tasting and the Different Ways. How to Taste Wine. How to Host a Wine Tasting Event. How to Serve Wine. Conclusion.
By the end of this instantly downloadable ebooklet, you will be able to confidently host a successful wine tasting event and maybe even turn this opportunity into something that becomes a regular event for new and existing customers.
