Virtual wine tasting

For wine lovers with no babysitter - live, interactive, tutored tastings: you buy the wines from Virtual Wines in advance and taste in front of your computer, adding your comments via an instant messaging board. You need broadband, a group of friends, and ideally a projector - it's no fun sitting at a desk and spilling wine into your keyboard. Logging on is fiddly but the wines are well chosen, food matches are suggested, and the audience's comments get pleasingly bawdy as the wines go down. www.virtualwine.co.uk
