If you love wine join a wine club

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.

When it comes to drinking, wine is considered the most healthiest. Even science recommends occasional wine helps the heart. There is a wine for every budget and all of them taste great and come up with their own unique flavor. After all, out of all the liquors available today, wine is essentially made from grapes.

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.

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.

Next step is to gather some wine making magazines, hit up some wine making clubs and even just google for the latest wines or what not. I usually google it or go to my wine shop and just talk to the people who work their for the latest wines that I can discuss at my club.

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.

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.

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.
