Expand Your Palate with Our Favourite Virtual Wine Tastings
Wine is best enjoyed with other people, living up to its reputation of bringing people together. However, it is hard to appreciate wine with your fellow aficionados when the current coronavirus lockdown has placed us under strict isolation protocols.
While you may not be able to meet up with other wine lovers for the time being, you can still connect with them to celebrate your shared appreciation of wine. Many wineries and winemakers are currently conducting virtual wine tastings, sharing their products and knowledge with the community to continue spreading the great social power of wine enjoyment. You can ruminate over your favourite drops with like-minded wine lovers or expand your palate with a new addition to your wine collection. Either way, these virtual wine tastings are providing wine appreciators with the opportunity to bond with others over their shared passion for wine during the often-lonely time of isolation.
These virtual wine tastings are also a great way for you to support Australian winemakers and cellars, who have undoubtedly been hit hard by both the bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic. The following vino live streams will not only indulge your adoration for wine, but also support the talented viticulturists and businesses that make up the Australian wine industry.
