The Waniac Wine Calendar functions as a blind tasting kit that gives people the chance to discover 24 boutique wineries from Slovenia. The entire kit comes in the form of an elegant handmade wooden box that contains all of the necessary information for a blind tasting, including a brochure, numbered bottles and additional information.
The box invites wine drinkers to look, smell, taste and think, and determine their own experience with each of the bottled wines. As the Waniac Wine Calendar can be used as a countdown to Christmas, information is revealed online about the wine and the winemaker daily until December 24th. There's also the opportunity for wine lovers to interact with the calendar app and leave feedback for each wine to better understand their unique preferences.
