Wine delivered to your door is one of the few upsides of iso-times in 2020, yet despite a number of new at-home vino services cropping up during lockdown and isolation, no one company really does it better than Good Pair Days.
Launched by co-founders Tom Walenkamp, Banjo Harris Plane and Beto de Castro Moreira, the online platform is different in that it takes the time to first get to know it’s customers and their unique taste preferences, by conducting a palate quiz that asks fun and thought-provoking questions about cocktails, chocolate, toast and fruits.
The questions may seem unrelated to wine, but in using a specially made algorithm, the three-time Australian Sommelier of the Year on the team is able to match a customer’s flavour preferences with existing notes in the vast array of wines available on the site, to present a percentage based on how much you’ll like it. It’s science, really, only more fun and way more delicious.
This Christmas, Good Pair Days is shifting its everyday offering into gift form — ideal for wine lovers, and soon-to-be wine lovers, it’s the ultimate present for just about everyone, and if you’re lucky, your recipient might even share some glasses with you.
All you need to do is head to the Good Pair Days site and purchase a gift for your friend, mum, brother, lover, whoever. You can choose to give them a one-off pack of three bottles or go big with a 12-month subscription. You can also adjust the price per bottle to curate a present that suits your budget.
If you’re feeling confident, you can choose their wines for them or send a ‘Surprise Me’ pack, but our suggestion would be to choose the gift voucher option, which allows your gift recipient to take the palate quiz for themselves.
With every wine pack sent comes stories about the winemakers, tasting notes, and suggested food pairings, plus recipes designed to complement the wines perfectly. Even better still, every box sent in December will include an additional sweet surprise, we’re told.
