Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. For a smooth, successful wine tasting experience, I recommend focusing less on gadgets and more on simple, practical “tools” that set you up well:

  1. Water and snacks: Drink plenty of water and eat beforehand and during, so you can enjoy more wines without getting drunk or dehydrated.
  2. A small notebook or notes app: Many people like to jot down favorites, flavors, and wineries.
  3. Comfortable, simple outfit: Nothing bulky, no extra bags, and avoid white if you’re worried about spills.
  4. Unscented you: Avoid perfume, cologne, heavy lotions, or smoke beforehand so aromas aren’t distorted.
  5. A safe ride plan: A designated driver or rideshare is essential for enjoying tastings responsibly.

Would you like tips for hosting your own at-home wine (or even non-alcoholic) tasting?
