Even in these uncertain financial times where budgets may be tighter than normal, many companies still recognise the importance of running team building activities for their staff.These days you can pretty much do any activity for your team building and their are companies who run team building days all over the country. Believe it or not though, topping a recent list conducted by the London Companies Union to find the most popular team building activity, was wine tasting.

More companies in London chose to crack out the bottle opener and send their employees to wine tasting venues last year than to any other location. The best known winery in London, Vinopolis, was top of the list for businesses and reported a 12% increase in bookings themselves last year.

There have been a number of reasons put forward by team building specialists Team Tactics, as to why wine tasting is such a popular option right now. Firstly, it can take place almost anywhere and there are many companies who offer mobile services. This saves money for everyone involved as transport costs are kept to a minimum and a wholes days work doesn’t necassiliry have to lost. Secondly, wine tasting is a surprisingly cheap activity. Bigger businesses are frequently offered large discounts for high group numbers so companies have got an incentive to send all their staff to the same place. The last reason they highlighted is that the activity is not discriminatory at all. People with physical disabilities can take part and there are often non-alcoholic wines for non-drinkers

Coincidently, in the same month the team building stats where released, the London store Harrods announced that wine was the most popular gift among staff members and management in corporate businesses. Wine accessories and various styles of wine rack were also up there for gift ideas, the most popular of which being their new cactus wine rack
