Saturday we will spend with the local students. On Sunday we will chill in Lund and those who have to can already head back to Helsinki. On Monday those flying back to Helsinki in the evening can spend the day in Copenhagen.

AK-INKUBIO SPARKLING WINE TASTING

”To guarantee a perfect taste experience, different types of drinks are best enjoyed in their optimal temperatures. Sparkling wine should be enjoyed chilled, so a tiny bit colder than regular wine, but too much cold can also destroy all the flavors of the wine. The best temperature varies depending on the sparkling wine, but for a traditional white sparkling wine it’s 5-7 degrees celsius.”

Wappu is coming and it’s time for us to awaken our taste buds for sparkling wine! Come together with Inkubio and the Guild of Architecture to enjoy the spring evening with some bubbly.
