We believe drinking wine should be as enjoyable as a well-played round of golf.
Since 2016 we’ve been helping golf and wine lovers find their next favourite bottle.
Every month, we tee up a selection of wines, and rate them using our golf-inspired scoring system. Only the best bottles make the cut.
We work with winemakers and distributors from around the world, only selecting wines that meet our high standards.
Each wine is reviewed by our tasting team, a group of enthusiasts from all backgrounds, and have a passion for great wine & the game of golf.
Some team members have formal wine training, while others are seasoned wine drinkers.
Like a pro golfer trusts their swing without distractions, our team tastes wines blind.
This “blind shot” ensures every wine is judged solely on performance. We rely on our taste buds to determine if the wine makes the cut.
Leveling the playing field, every wine gets an equal shot. Whether it’s a £900 bottle or a £10 contender, no labels and no bias!
Much like setting up a course where every golfer plays under the same favourable conditions.
If a wine isn’t hitting the mark, a new bottle is opened; because sometimes, a mulligan is a good idea.
After tasting, the team discusses their scores and each wine earns a score using our golf inspired scoring system:
RATED WINES
A solid, well-made wine that
meets expectations.
RATED WINES
A great choice that stands above
the competition.
RATED WINES
A truly rare and exceptional
wine.
Any wine that is rated BOGEY or worse is left in the rough, it doesn’t make the cut.
When all the scores are in, the wines are revealed. Surprises happen, just like an underdog golfer unexpectedly topping the leader-board!
Before the leader-board is updated, a wine must also pass these 3 key tests:
1. Are the wineries or distributors run by people we like working with?
2. Would we personally spend our money on the wine?
3. Is it exceptional enough to recommend to fellow golf & wine lovers?
At GolfSpaWine, wine tasting is more than just sipping; it’s a game that makes drinking wine that much more enjoyable, especially if you also enjoy golf.
