I tasted each wine myself to see how versatile it is. I also considered the quality, from the ease of opening each day’s box to the overall impression the calendar leaves. Each calendar was tested over several days to get an understanding of the variety, quality and value, paying attention to:

  • Wine quality: Do the bottles provide taste, balance and drinking pleasure?
  • Diversity: Were we offered a nice mix of red, white, pink and sparkling wines in mixed boxes?
  • presentation: How cute and festive was the packaging?
  • value for money: Did the calendar justify its price point?
  • Fun Factor of Celebration: Was there real excitement in opening a new window every day?
