Wine tasting: refined, relaxed – with a shirt that feels like you

A wine tasting has its own tone: quieter conversations, sharper senses, a slower rhythm. You dress with respect for the setting—but you don’t want to look like you’re in a uniform. That’s why a GERMENS button-up shirt works so well. It reads as smart and culture-appropriate, yet it’s clearly more personal than the standard white or light-blue option.

Cellar cool or terrace warm: one shirt, changing temperatures

Tastings often move between climates: cool cellar air, warm sun outside, then a fresher evening. A long-sleeve shirt adapts easily—sleeves up when it’s warm, sleeves down when the air turns. And if photos happen (they usually do), an artist-designed pattern gives you a visual signature without trying too hard.

Cotton comfort that stays calm through a long evening

For tasting nights, comfort matters. Our cotton feels natural, stays comfortable, suits everyday wear, and is durable—plus it remains pleasantly odor-neutral when the evening runs long. The result is simple: you feel relaxed, and you look composed.

Craft details that hold the look together

In close settings—standing shoulder to shoulder, holding a glass, leaning in to talk—quality is visible. That’s where construction details deliver: the GERMENS collar notch, angled cuffs, sturdy buttons, a Kent collar with stainless steel stays, and precise stitching. These elements keep the shirt sharp even after hours.

All patterns are artist-designed, with strong cuts, and the shirts are available from XS to 6XL. To browse, start here: button-up shirts. If you need it fast, check immediately available products.

For sizing without guessing, use the Try-on service for home. For fine adjustments, the Modification service handles details like sleeves or waist. For aftercare: textile care.

If you’re planning a long-sleeve piece for the season: many shirts are made to order, which can take several weeks, and long-sleeve designs are often limited to 99 pieces. Planning notes are here: Notes on products on manufacture.

For me, wine tasting is an ideal occasion: refined, relaxed, and exactly the right setting for a shirt that isn’t standard—just unmistakably yours.
