Scotland launches new gourmet warehouse

Scotland's first and only dedicated food and wine centre opens at the end of November 2005. Created by Dundee-based wine importer, Scotts Wine World, The Tasting Rooms is a celebration of wine and food from around the world and the state-of-the-art facilities include virtual wine tours, a deli, cafe, wine trading floor, corporate conference facilities and an art gallery.

The project, which was inspired by visits to the wine warehouses of Australia and Hong Kong, will be the first of its kind in Scotland. The Tasting Rooms blend the historical and traditional jute building with a rustic wine warehouse where people can wander, buy, relax, eat and learn. With the emphasis on education and exploration, visitors to the Tasting Rooms will encounter virtual tours of vineyards around the world as well as tastings to allow them to try before they buy. Various events will take place on a regular basis including wine and food tastings, courses and demonstrations. There are also plans for The Tasting Rooms to become a centre of education for certifiable wine courses, as well as more informal tastings.
