“It’s like Christmas morning every time a club pack arrives. Unpacking each bottle, examining the labels, putting on the neck tags ... I’m like a kid in a sweet store.”

started the Wine Club in 1986, long before the days you could buy wine online. Why? Let’s face it. Wine can be intimidating. It’s difficult to try new ones and be sure they are top quality. But, how best do you do this?
Well, before I get to that - let me ask you three questions.
- Have you ever stood in front of a supermarket shelf of wine and not known which to choose?
- How many times have you chosen the same old South African wine - just to be safe?
- Wouldn’t you like to learn more about wine, get to taste different types of wine and have them conveniently delivered to your home?
Did you answer ‘yes’ to any of these?
So, what is the best way to solve this problem without the risk of trying lots of ordinary and expensive wines? Easy...
• Get a panel of nine independent expert wine judges
• Ask them to taste and score all the wines blind
• Blind wine tasting ensures no judge is influenced by a label
• Place only the very best scoring wine in members’ packs
• Members get exclusive tasting notes and storage necktags
This way - we focus only on what’s important - what you taste in the glass. Because of this, when you join the Wine Club you get to try new wines - and you get quality and value for money at the same time.

We know what you’re thinking… Champagne breakfast right? Not quite. Egg whites are actually used in the fining process.
A cracking good idea, egg whites are added to wine after fermentation, the albumin in the whites (globular proteins) causes the microscopic particles in the wine to sink rapidly to the bottom of the barrel or tank, leaving the wine clear.
Chefs also use this trick to help clarify stocks, by swirling in egg whites to trap undesirable elements.
