Reeze Choi - Founder of Somm’s Philosophy

3rd Place in the Best Sommelier of the World Competition 2023 

“I always think that we are not just providing the wine—we are providing the whole experience. The temperature is the most important part of that. Serving wine in perfect condition is very important. When we serve wine in an ice bucket, sometimes the wine becomes too cold. I think it’s crucial for sommeliers to have a tool to control the temperature. End consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of temperature as well. Vivant helps me and many others a lot with that, and it is very easy to use. You don’t have to worry about the ice bucket, preparing ice, or water—everything. Just press the button, turn it on, set it to a specific temperature, and you’re good to go. I especially love the transparent cover, which showcases the label while chilling. And it's wireless—when the battery runs out, simply swap to another. It’s very easy to handle.”
