In the celebration of wine, wine clubs have created a culture all their own.
Breaking the Clubs down into many categories; from varietals to countries of origin, specific winemakers and vineyards.
For the novice to the most astute tastes of the world, wine clubs have much to offer consumers.
Combining the best of several worlds, you can taste and enjoy wine from small vineyards to classic artisans known the world over, from the comfort of your own home.
Starting your own monthly wine tasting parties is fast becoming a hot trend in the world of home entertaining.
Pairing appetizers with multiple wines or a full dinner with a wine for each course.
Knowing where the wine comes from that your ordering is as essential as knowing how to uncork the bottle.
Authenticity is key, you will want to look for wine coming from wineries you can visit, people you can meet.
You will want quality wines, that are found on lists at fine restaurants and in the pages of wine publications.
Also, if you find a specific wine you really enjoy, is it available to reorder? Can you find this wine locally to avoid the shipping costs? Knowing what to avoid in a wine club is equally important.
What does it mean when a wine club offers "exclusive" wines? This can mean a variety of things as private labeled wines can be wines made from excess grapes in wine factories.
Doing your homework on what labels are offered can help you to avoid buying low cost wines with a high mark up.
The ability to explore the unexplored, to savor new flavors and enjoy the warmth of friendship are several of the successes of the incredibly popular wine clubs found throughout the country and world.
All in celebration of wine.
