In preparation for Chinese New Year celebrations that will be taking place in late January and early February in China, Australian start-up Trust in Taste is sharing samples of [mini wine bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poco-vino) for at-home tasting experiences.

To boost the sales of Australian wine in China, the start-up is specifically targeting Chinese consumers through platforms like [WeChat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaker), where they are able to sign up for an [in-home tasting experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seaside-tasting-wine-kit) for just ¥25 or AU$5.

To facilitate the cellar door-style tasting experience, Trust in Taste uses QR codes on its small, 60-milliliter wine bottles. When scanned, these codes link to the online Trust in Taste WeChat store, which provides additional information on the product, alongside an informational video from the winemaker and a place for consumers to give feedback on the samples.
