The Wine Club

Our very popular Wine Club has now been running for a number of years. If you are a complete novice or even an expert within the realms of wine, then this club is for you. The Members have a range of knowledge, from very little to years of experience which make for a good balance.

We want every member to enjoy themselves when they come to a meeting; after all, drinking wine should be an enjoyment.

The 'Wine Club' takes place at the Ostreme Centre in Mumbles. The surroundings are comfortable and everyone is very friendly.

The 'Wine Club' evenings are led by our director Chris Racey together with our whisky guru Adam Sillman who, with their wealth of knowledge, will take you through a 'Tutored Tasting', showing you how to get the most out of your wine experience. From the smell of the wine and the tasting technique to matching the wines with specific foods, Chris and Adam will take you through it step by step.

The Wine Club Format

Every Member receives a file at the start of their membership. This is then updated by the member as the year progresses. Most Wine Club tasting events involve the tasting of up to 8 different wines, with various themes, e.g. Old World versus New World, Alternatives etc.  There is often a Mystery Wine Tasting too, with prizes to be won.

You will then take part in a structured tasting of the wines:

• White before red
• Dry white before Sweet white
• and then light red before full bodied etc.

During this time you are invited to make your own tasting notes (should you wish to) and observations about the wines that you are tasting.

After the structured tasting is finished there is an opportunity to retry wines tasted earlier, and to ask any questions that you may have.

Wine is an industry where you are learning all the time; new techniques; new tastes; new smells. There are so many different wines in the world, so let's have some fun exploring and tasting them.

If you haven't got a clue about wine, then this is an ideal opportunity to come along and learn something. Then you can go away and impress your friends.

If you are an experienced wine connoisseur, then come along and explore different wines that you may not have come across before.

The 'Wine Club' at Mumbles Fine Wines has something for everyone whatever level of wine knowledge you have.

Due to popularity of the Wine Club, there is sometimes a waiting list for new membership.
