Wine Clubs - A Convenient Way to Know Wine


Wine clubs have been sprouting up in recent years as a result of an increased

interest in wine and greater wine consumption. In fact, according to figures

from the Wine Institute, sales of wine in the United States went up four percent

in 2004. Exports of wine by other countries to the U.S. remain steady since

foreign wineries have found the United States to be a lucrative place to do

business. For wine lovers and would-be wine drinkers, joining a wine club would

bring numerous benefits.



Many wine clubs count expert vintners or sommeliers among their members. But

you don't need to be a wine aficionado to be able to join a wine club. A great

many clubs welcome both newbies and experts. They offer much information not

only about various wines out in the market, but also about many wine-related

topics; for instance, which type of wine should be served with a certain entr?e;

or news about the latest goings-on in the wine industry.



Wine clubs offer varying membership programs. For the fee you pay, you will

receive wine selections from vineyards whose offerings meet the club's

standards. Clubs can send you their handpicked selections, or give you the

opportunity to make your own selections. Most clubs usually send two bottles of

wine to each member per month; they can be two bottles of red or two of white,

or one of each. Along with the wine, you will also receive pertinent information

about them, such as the winery where they came from, any awards, publicity or

accolades that have been accorded to the vintner, and a description of the

conditions under which the grapes used in the wine were grown.



Wine club membership offers several other perks. For instance, premium

members are offered the ability to buy wines at discounted prices. If they have

a Wine of the Month program, you can be sure that you'll realize significant

savings from being a member than if you just bought the featured wine at regular

prices. Joining a wine club would be a good investment if you are a regular wine

drinker -- which many people are becoming because of much publicized news about

how regular wine consumption has numerous health benefits. Also, most of the

wine clubs today offer gift membership program, which you can give to people who

would enjoy wine either by itself or with a meal.



Many wine stores or retailers have their own wine clubs, which you can join

for a fee. Some clubs offer open-ended programs, meaning you can cancel your

membership anytime. You should base your wine club choice on several factors.

Are the services they offer worth the rate they are charging? What are their

expert credentials -- do they have wine experts who can give sound wine

recommendations? Do they have additional activities for members, such as wine

tastings or perhaps visits to vineyards? You should evaluate these factors and

more before you select a club to join. There are hundreds of wine club web sites

online, and they provide detailed information on what you get for your

money.



People enjoy the benefit of receiving their wine at their doorstep -- no more

need to zip around to a wine seller's physical location for a bottle of vino.

However, you should remember that most U.S. states have strict laws regarding

the shipping of wine from state to state. Perhaps you might consider choosing a

club that has a branch in your particular state because in such cases the law is

not as strict. This is another factor that you should look at when you are

evaluating which club to join.



You can choose to join a wine club that has international coverage -- one

that features wine produced in the world's most popular winery regions, and

whose membership runs in the thousands -- or you could opt for a smaller, more

specialized wine club, which focuses on only one or two specific wine-producing

regions. Then there are clubs that concentrate on providing only a certain type

of wine, such as red, white, or champagne.



As you can see, there are many factors to consider when choosing a wine club

to join. But then, as you can also probably see, there are numerous benefits you

can experience if you choose the right wine club.

Bordeaux: A Consumer's Guide to the World's Finest Wines (Hardcover)



Windows on the World Complete Wine Course: 2007 Edition (Windows on the World Complete Wine Course) (Hardcover)
by Robert M. Parker (Author).Here Editorial Reviews of the book
TFirst published in 1985, this landmark consumer guide launched one of the most illustrious careers in wine criticism. Robert Parker's mission, in his newsletter The Wine Advocate and his many bestselling books, has always been to give wine drinkers honest, informed advice about which wines are worth their money, and which wines aren't.
The fourth edition of Bordeaux presents a complete guide to vintages between 1961 and 2001. This latest volume brings readers up-to-date on the abundance of new producers in France's most important wine region and for the first time includes more than 700 wine labels. Parker has retasted and reevaluated many of Bordeaux's finest wines -- and adjusted their ratings accordingly -- so readers of his previous editions will discover herein a wealth of new material.
Parker begins with an overview of each year, which includes insight into growing conditions and yields, notes on anticipated maturity, general price ranges, and lists of best wines. The heart of the book is the chapter "Evaluating the Wines of Bordeaux," in which he meticulously reviews wine producers of every appellation. Organized geographically, the chateaux are listed in alphabetical order, and entries include contact information, vineyard size, details about the wine-making style, and a general evaluation of the chateau's wines. Best of all, each entry includes extensive tasting notes on important vintages, all of them featuring Parker's celebrated rating system -- in which every wine is assessed on a scale ranging from 50 to 100. In later chapters, he also offers essential information about the elements of a great Bordeaux wine, practical travel information about the region, a glossary of wine terms, and more.
An invaluable guide for consumers, Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s Bordeaux provides all the information amateurs and connoisseurs alike could possibly need in their search for that perfect bottle.
