Build Your Own Three-Glass Tasting Set (Bangkok)


Skip the jargon—taste side by side. At Venezia SeenSpace in Seenspace Thonglor, a three-glass tasting set is the fastest, most fun way to learn what you actually like. We’ll help you pick a theme, pour small, and keep each glass at the right temperature so every sip shows its best.


Step 1 — Choose a theme (3 easy options)


A) Bubbles, Bright White, Chillable Red

Start crisp, add texture, finish juicy. It’s the perfect intro trio for Bangkok’s warm evenings.


B) Classic vs. Natural

Pour a classic white next to a skin-contact (aka “orange”) white, then add a pét-nat for a playful fizz. Pét-nat (“pétillant naturel”) is bottled before fermentation finishes—lighter pressure, often a little hazy, and very lively.

C) Light-to-Deeper Reds

Begin with a chillable style, then step up to something more savoury. Keep the first red slightly cool so the fruit stays bright.

Step 2 — Serve at smart, Bangkok-friendly temps


Wine tastes different at different temperatures. Use this as your quick rule of thumb:


Sparkling: well-chilled (about 3–7°C)


Crisp whites: fridge-cool (about 7–12°C)


Light reds/chillable: just cool (about 12–15°C)


Richer reds: slightly cool (about 15–20°C)


These ranges come from widely used service charts and are ideal for a city as warm as Bangkok.

Pro tip: For a light red, 20–30 minutes in the fridge (or a few minutes in an ice bucket) is enough—cold mutes aroma; cool makes it sing.

Step 3 — Use the right glass (keep it simple)


Bubbles: a tulip wine glass (not a narrow flute) keeps the fizz while letting aromas open.

Wine Enthusiast


Most whites and light reds: a medium-sized wine glass shows aroma without warming too fast; stems help keep temperature steady.

3) “Red Without Weight”


Cranberry-bright, low-tannin red (cool)


Herbal-fresh red with a drier finish (cool)


Optional: a sparkling red for a playful twist (cool)


How to taste (no fuss)


Look: color and clarity—don’t overthink it.


Smell: two short sniffs beat one long inhale.


Sip: a small mouthful; notice fruit, texture, finish.


Compare: which glass feels fresh, textural, or savoury? That’s your style.


If you like fresh & fizzy, start with bubbles. Want texture? Choose skin-contact. Craving red but not heavy? Go chillable. (Yes—chilling light reds is not only allowed, it’s delicious in summer.)
