Many wine drinkers find it more than a little daunting when it comes to choosing a new wine to drink. Recognising this, French company WineSide has come up with the novel idea of offering mini sample bottles of wine.
WineSide offers sweet and classic wines in patented, flat-base glass tubes with screw tops carefully engineered to protect the wines’ flavour. The sweet wines—which include Sauternes and Muscat, for example—are available in 6cl tubes, while the Pomerol, Chateau Neuf du Pape and other classic wines can be purchased in tiny 6cl or 10cl sizes. WineSide’s collection represents a range of appellations and producers; tubes are available individually or by the box, which can be chosen to provide an introduction to a variety, year or region.
