Winemakers help. Winemakers are being helped. The willingness to help that is unfolding in the wine scene as the Covid 19 crisis unfolds is huge. Closed hotels, restaurants, wine shops and vinotheques, cancelled tastings, events and fairs: It has become eerily quiet in the otherwise communicative industry. But it only took a few days for wine professionals, winemakers, wine fans and connoisseurs to come together in a new way on social media. Digital projects arose spontaneously with enthusiasm for a good goal or just to exchange ideas.
Within a few days, for example, winemakers launched generous aid projects for those hardest hit by the pandemic, with unexpected resonance and reach. When they offer their good bottles for an important aid project on Facebook and elsewhere, the quotas are usually sold out within just one or two days. In the past few days, web shops have also gone online to support winegrowers and wine merchants, whose sales are still mostly tending towards zero at the moment. Many of them also need uncomplicated support. In addition, there are live tasting formats to make the exchange between vintners, restaurateurs and wine fans possible. Helping concretely and drinking good wine at the same time - that is the formula wine fans are currently using to demonstrate their solidarity and empathy. We have summarised the most exciting and important projects. The list will be expanded continuously.

DWS Home Advantage
The German Wine and
Sommelier School Koblenz (DWS) is now offering
digital wine tastings with lecturers and experts under the title "Home Advantage". The aim is to combine further wine education with enjoyment. Each of the currently planned twelve wine tastings includes three ninety-minute video sessions in which the wines are tasted together under the guidance of a professional. In addition, DWS also offers online tastings with spirits,
sake and sparkling wine. Participants will receive the packages in time for the tasting. In order to participate, the web conference software Adobe Connect is required on one's own computer.
