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 in the surroundings of the Mumbles Fine Wines store in Mumbles. The surroundings are comfortable and everyone is very friendly.

The 'Wine Club' evenings are led by our own Wine Consultant, John Roberts who with over 47 years experience in the wine industry, 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. John 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.

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.
