ACME Fine Wines is introducing launching by-appointment-only virtual tastings for any wines that are purchased online or by phone or received as part of a monthly wine club package. These virtual wine tastings are hosted over the phone or Zoom and offer a chance for people to connect directly with ACME's team of sommeliers. ACME Fine Wines is also planning to hold virtual tastings for each of its wine clubs—Kahuna, which focuses on rare and collectible wines, Under the Radar, Pulse, which spotlights up-and-coming regions and Zippo, a club with a focus on red wines with lower alcohol levels.
In response to a global pandemic, many businesses are getting creative when it comes to adapting their services to offer safe experiences from a distance online.
