Category: Wine Making — June Beezy @ 2:06 am

All over the country it seems like their is new wine club born every day. The idea of wine and wine lovers coming together just cant be beat.

Even doctors recommend drinking a glass of wine a day because it is actually good for your health. It cuts down on your risks of getting a heart attack. Plus the great thing about wine is it comes in all prices. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought wine just because I didn’t have enough money for a 6 pack of beer.

It is no secret that wine making is getting popular faster than any other hobby. It is quietly gathering a large following especially in countries outside of North America, it is truly phenomenal. So if you feel like that you would love to learn more about wine and taste different kinds of wine, just start a wine club.

So now that you want to start your own wine club, the first thing is to find someone who truly likes being somewhat of the ‘leader’. This person should be someone who is more organized than others, somewhat of a event coordinator kind of person.

At first offer a limited membership – don’t have too many members when you begin the club. Too many members will lessen the possibility of developing a close long term relationship with others in the wine club.

Suggestions for monthly wine selections are readily available from wine enthusiast magazines or online articles about new and innovative wines. Choose one person to be in charge of gathering the wines. Later, you can split the bill.

You’ll also want to have a great selection of wine glasses on hand. They can be inexpensive, but be sure that you have enough so that each person has his own glass for each type of wine that you’ve selected.

The best to things to discuss at your first wine club meeting would be just the entire process of making wine. You’ll be surprised on how simple and easy it is. Plus new members who have no idea about the wine making process will really appreciate it.

Remember to focus on the educational aspect of the wines. You’ll need rating charts that are available at wine shops, on line and through wine magazines. Each of your members will be rating the characteristics of the wines. Then, you can compare them to see if you all agree.

See when it comes to wine clubs, you can truly go crazy and come up with some innovative ideas. Also the fact that as your club grows, you will meet real like minded people who share the same interests as you. Now what can be better than that.
