Twenty-four tiny bottles, twenty-four chances to find a wine you would never have picked off a shelf, and twenty-four chances to forget its name by Boxing Day.

That last part is the bit nobody puts on the box. I build Sommo, an app that helps people remember and understand what they drink, so every November I watch the same thing happen: a beautiful calendar arrives, December disappears in a blur of small pours, and by January the one bottle that genuinely surprised you is a vague memory of “the Portuguese one, maybe day nine”.
