Concorde Wine Club
The Concorde Wine Club meets monthly on the first Monday of each month except January and where there is a bank holiday, it moves forward one week. There is a Christmas Party in December and an AGM and garden party in July.
Wines and grape varieties are presented by a variety of speakers including wine promoters, merchants and knowledgeable experts and are enjoyed in a relaxed and social setting. No expert knowledge is required – the tastings are fun and informative for both beginners and wine lovers alike.
There is a joining fee of £15 per member payable on joining and thereafter an annual renewal fee of £10 as agreed at the Annual General Meeting. Husband and wife count as two members. See below for a copy of the Rules.
Members can invite guests to the meetings. Tasting fees are currently £15 for a member of the Wine Club and £20 for a non-member (except for tastings where food is offered or for more expensive wines where the fees would be increased to reflect this)
