Blind Tasting at Home - White Wines

Get to Know: Blind Tasting at Home – White Wines | New Wines for Spring 2026

Three full-size whites, wrapped to keep the labels secret

Description

A tasting kit that proves how much you can read in a glass once the bottle isn’t telling you what to think.

White wine is where blind tasting gets interesting. Without the bottle in front of you, the differences between a steely Sauvignon and a textured skin-contact white become much more obvious — and much harder to bluff. This kit gives you three full-size 75cl whites wrapped in plain paper,  with neck tags to number them, and packaged with QR-code tasting cards. Compare your guesses against the actual notes, settle ties with the tie-breaker questions, then unwrap and find out how close you got. The Spring 2026 selection has just landed, so repeat players get a fresh challenge too.

“An ingenious way to conduct wine tasting at home, the Reserve Wines blind tasting box is a great dinner party activity or date night idea.” – Samuel Mathewson, The Independent, August 2024

• New wine selection so previous players can play again
• A thoughtful gift for the curious-but-not-snobby wine lover

Kate Says

“White wine throws people off more than reds, in my experience — there’s less obvious heft to grab onto, so you really have to pay attention. That’s exactly why this kit works. Three bottles, three styles, and three little a-ha moments by the end of the evening.”

What’s inside

• 3 × full-size (75cl) bottles of white wine
  • Concealed in wrapping to keep the labels secret
  • ABVs: 12%, 12.5%, and 12.5%
  • Wine selection last changed: 06/03/26
• 1 × set of bottle neck tags — number the wines any way you like
• 2 × info cards with QR codes — tasting instructions, tasting notes with region and grape clues, and tie-breakers

You’ll also want: a phone, a few wine glasses, pencil and paper, a glass of water to cleanse the palate, and salty snacks (always a good idea).

Why we love it

White wines reward focused attention more than almost any other style - and almost no one tastes them blind at home. This kit lets you do just that. Three wines, three honest reactions, no one quietly checking the label before they comment.
