Wine Rack Cabaret

Many think of wine clubs as being something only for general wine enthusiasts and growers. However, these days wine clubs are now common and diverse in interests and membership.

One of the primary reasons why people form wine clubs now is so that they can get special rates on wines. Another popular reason is to get a variety of wines and have the opportunity to try the newest flavors. Social interaction and tips from others are also benefits of having a wine club membership.

For those who like variety, a wine club is an ideal forum for the spread of information and purchasing group to gain leverage to get a hold of these unique wines that may be hard to find in the local market. You can taste a variety of wines from France, Spain, Italy, and California.

Some wine clubs are as new as ten minutes ago, others started over 100 years ago. Often the experts that found or join these clubs are equal in knowledge and experience, regardless of the age of the clubs. From these experts comes advice about wine glass preparation, tasting methods or home winemaking tips along with recommendations for the best whites, reds or dessert wines.

There are clubs devoted to the product of a particular winery, often having been started by the owners themselves. These specialists can give early information about their own harvests, so enthusiasts can look forward in the coming years to sampling the finest these entrepreneurs offer. Such clubs will often make certain wines available only to club members and at reduced prices.

One club is even dedicated to those who have sampled over 100 different wines - and the forum discussing the wines is very lively! Each member has tasted over 100 wines, so the total selection ranges in the several hundred, with some overlap. But at the end of the day, all the clubs provide their members with the expertise and experience of some of the world's most knowledgeable and enthusiastic makers and drinkers of wine. And a mind-boggling amount of material it is.

The ease of sharing information worldwide and almost instantaneously, made possible by e-mail and the Internet, has produced a cornucopia of opinions about every aspect of wine. Debates rage about best vintage, pairing, vineyards, pros and cons of soil and climate types and on and on. Passions around political disagreements pale beside this United Nations of wine.

Fortunately, no wars have recently broken out, (some historians assert the influence of the grape is responsible in part for more than one!), but there are occasional skirmishes. Still, next time you're invited to attend that special event honoring the 'premiere' of a new wine, leave the Kevlar vest at home. Just be prepared with some oenological (the study of wine) ammunition - and don't forget, the purpose is to enjoy!
