What is the difference between a wine tasting event and a home party?
• A wine tasting is designed to be educational in focus. The wine host or hostess is responsible for paying the consultant in advance based on the cost of the wines poured and the number of persons attending. • A home party (think “Tupperware”) has an educational component although the major emphasis is on having fun. The wine consultant provides the wine and the host(ess) receives a free gift plus the opportunity to earn discounts on wine or wine accessory purchases.
