V&A sharing a wine flight?

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Hello,
My DH and I are not big wine drinkers, but do enjoy occasionally (once a year at christmas dinner usually). I would like to enjoy the wine flight at V&A, but know that I could not handle that much alcohol. I want to be able to taste what truely matched food and wine tastes like though.

Can we split a wine flight between us? Can we order half glasses? If the wine is split will they still match our meals or will our wine not match as well to our food? I do not know much about wine, but worry that splitting may be a waste of money if what I truely want to experience is professional wine pairings. Can we just order a glass here and there during our dinner?


Any thoughts?

Well you could certainly just order a glass of wine here and there and I'm sure your servers would help you match the wine with the course.

However someone has posted on this forum that you can split a wine pairing and that you will each receive a half portion of the wine that fits your particular selection. To me this sounds ideal as the last time we dined there in March I truly couldn't remember by the end of dinner (and my wine pairing) which dish was my very favorite. Everything was great but one was especially divine. To this day when I look at my menu I can't remember which?! However, I don't think I'll ever be able to convince my husband to split a wine pairing because the wine doesn't faze him. I guess I should follow your suggestion of just matching some courses!
