WINE ME® Casino Mat 180×90 cm – Italy

The WINE ME® Casino – Italy professional mat is a fun and educational tool designed for wine professionals, sommeliers, and connoisseurs who wish to organize interactive tastings dedicated to Italian wines, following the exclusive WINE ME® Casino concept.

The WINE ME® Casino is based on a blind tasting incorporating casino-inspired game mechanics. Participants taste the wine without knowing its identity and, using clues, must identify four essential parameters:

• the grape variety,
• the region,
• the vintage,
• the alcohol content.

Players place their tokens on the WINE ME® mat, score points, and transform the tasting into an immersive, competitive, and highly educational experience.
