It could be a useful skill if technology stays on its current path. This is why companies, such as WiV, are developing a presence in the metaverse.
In the face of the Covid pandemic challenges, some vineyards and wine merchants have become adept at offering an online experience to potential customers, leading virtual tastings and tours of cellars and vineyards.
