Wine tasting as team building? He can do wonders in a team

Under the term teambuilding, you can imagine anything, rep., everyone has experienced more successful and less successful joint company or team activities. But guided wine tasting as team building? Some may shake their heads doubtfully, but tasting in a nice environment, with quality wines and under the guidance of an erudite winemaker, taster or sommelier can bring many benefits. Individual participants, but also the collective and the company as a whole. Because the goal of a good tasting is not to consume a lot, but to develop its participants through small sips of a noble drink.

Strengthens relationships

Good drinks stimulate conversation and bring people together. A stiff conversation suddenly turns into a personal story. Origins, experiences and goals are shared more freely. Wine can serve as a simple catalyst for social interaction, which often goes hand in hand with building closer relationships. Tasting is fun, and in the positive atmosphere that exists at tastings, personal relationships intensify "by themselves". People experience beautiful things together, enjoy them together and grow together.

It improves and strengthens communication in the team

The evaluation of individual wines stimulates communication. The advantage is that previous knowledge and preferences do not matter and that it is strictly a subjective perception. There is no right or wrong opinion about this or that wine, everyone can have their own. There is open discussion and every opinion has equal value. In this way, direct communication and discussion in the team is supported.

Discovers weaknesses and strengths

By creating a pleasant atmosphere during the tastings, the group with all its dynamics can be brought to a relaxed state and individual members can discover their position in the team right then. The goals are always the same: to discover the strengths and weaknesses of individuals as well as the common features of the members and to strengthen the already mentioned communication in the team.

Expands horizons

Wine is a product of man and nature. By studying it, you will learn a lot about the interaction of different areas of our world: geology, geography, meteorology, biology, chemistry, history, sociology, psychology, philosophy and, last but not least, economics. A tasting with high-quality guidance can therefore broaden the horizons of its participants and everyone will take something new away from it.

It deepens receptivity

When tasting wine, one deals primarily with one's own sensory system and perceptions. What do I see, what do I feel, what do I taste? At the same time, they can compare it with what they see, feel and taste of the people around them and wonder why it is so.

It is a sign of appreciation

By tasting in a nice environment with quality wines and presentation, you show your team or business partners your appreciation and that you value them in a very impressive way. The investment in it is worth it, because the same applies here - a satisfied employee = a satisfied client or customer.
