For groups

Will you be enjoying your kit virtually with a group of friends or family? Here are some extra bits and bobs to help you get your zoom party started!

1. First things first, choose a video call platform and set one of your group as host, and make sure they share the screen of the videos for each pairing so you can all watch together!

2. Secondly, fancy adding some fun to your group tasting? How about getting all attendees to rate the cheese and wine pairing after trying each with the cheese-y scale below?

  • Not for me = maybe you 'Camembert it'

  • OK = maybe it's Goud-a but could be feta

  • yummy = Brie-liant

TIP: To rate cheese and wine pairings, think after tasting both the wine and cheese. Can you taste the cheese and wine still or does one overwhelm the other? Does the cheese or wine taste better together, does it taste worse?!

3. How about challenging your group to a little quiz! Here are some questions related to the current theme, ask one question alongside each pairing. Answers can be found right at the bottom of the page…
