Virtual wine tastings can work well for remote and hybrid teams when packs arrive on time, the host keeps it inclusive and the format is not too boozy.

Practical checklist

  • Ask suppliers about delivery lead times and missed deliveries.
  • Prepare an internal invite with date, time, format and alcohol-free options.
