Wine club is where the lovers meet
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.
To get started, first find the main organizer for the club. The person who contacts other wine lovers in the group regularly and set's up meetings. If you think you can be the wine club leader, go for it!
Usually when people start groups, they want to grow right off the bat. I suggest you start off with a handful of people. If you can do it well with a small group of people, you'll learn how to manager a much larger group.
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.
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.
To make the meetings more interactive, try to get everyone's opinion on the same wine. A lot of wine clubs have wine rating cards, where each member rates the wine in their own way and than you compare all the ratings together. I guess you can call it playing wine games.
It's a natural process for human beings to gather in groups and discuss subjects of interest. There is so much to learn about wines that your club will never be at a loss about what to discuss and learn. Enjoy!
