Wine club is where the lovers meet

By June Beezy

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.

With the popularity of wine on the increase, it won't be hard to begin your own wine club. The main idea is to find other people who are also same love for wine like you and set a time and day that you can get all together on a regular basis - usually once a month.

Pick a main person to get the ball rolling and plan out your wine club meetings. Then, let the word out to other wine lovers about what you're doing. Choose the wine club members that will be reliable in attendance and passionate in their devotion to wine.

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.

So after the wine, get some wine glasses for your club members. They are cheap and as a leader, they will truly make you stand out. After all, when you start something good, start it right!

So it's your first meeting, what should you talk about? Just the basics would be a perfect topic to get the ball rolling. Everyone loves to learn about the things from the bottom because they understand it more and it helps everyone out. So talking about grapes and yeast and stuff like that would be a great starter.

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.

Just like any good club, starting a wine club is a great way of meeting beautiful people just like yourself who love wine and sharing it with others. Wine is truly a gift and the more people you drink it with, the more fun you will have.
