Revolutionizing Wine Tasting
Have you ever had the urge to indulge in a rich, full-bodied wine, but the thought of shelling out a hefty price tag has held you back? You’re not alone. Many of us have been there, stuck between the desire to savor a fine wine and the fear of breaking the bank. However, a clever British start-up, Tiny Wine, is changing the game.
The Concept of Tiny Wine
Tiny Wine is built on the idea that fine wine should be more accessible, less intimidating, and a lot more fun. The brainchild of two friends, Harry Crowther and Rob Ingram, this innovative company offers a unique way to experience world-class wines without the hefty price tag.
- Instead of committing to a full bottle, Tiny Wine lets you explore a wide range of wines one glass at a time.
- Their 100ml “tasting tubes” are filled with the latest fractionalisation technology, ensuring the wines arrive fresh and true-to-bottle.
- The company’s tasting boxes, starting at £30, feature curated selections from iconic producers and rising stars, sourced from around the world.
The Science Behind Tiny Wine
Harry Crowther, co-founder of Tiny Wine, explains that the business was born from a simple belief: that fine wine should be more accessible, less intimidating, and a lot more fun. The company uses Coravin Vinitas technology, a groundbreaking fractionalisation system already common in UK restaurants and pubs, to preserve the wines in their tasting tubes.
“Each Tiny Wine experience comes with detailed tasting notes, and QR codes to learn more – creating an experience that’s educational, enjoyable, and never stuffy.”
— Harry Crowther, Co-founder of Tiny Wine
The Impact on the Trade
Tiny Wine is making waves in the trade by helping importers and producers reduce sampling waste by replacing full-bottle samples with 100ml tubes. This not only cuts costs but also reduces carbon footprints.
