good points and bad points about wine clubs

Hi,

I'm a businessman looking at starting a new type of wine club. A wine club being where a membership fee gets our changing selection of wines delivered to you on a regular basis.

If you're part of a club at the moment, I'd love to know what you like most and least about that club?

What, if anything, would motivate you to change to another club (let's assume the pricing is similar)?

If you used to be in a wine club, why did you leave?

If you have thought or joining a club, what were your reasons for wanting to, and what made you consider one club over another?

What if anything has stopped you joining a wne club?

Bit of thinking excersise I know, but I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

Dylan.

This is a little off topic, but might be of info for some to start a "local" wine club.

Here at our local parish church, we have started a wine club about a year ago, to enjoy each others fellowship and knowledge of different wines. We have received a good response from our community as well.

Our lead moderators are a restaurant owner and manager and they supply the wine that is being discused that month. It could be reds, or whites, or by country or regions.

Everyone is encouraged to moderate each month, which gives a person a chance to research the wine they would like to talk about, then they contact the restaurant owner who in turns purchases the wine for that month's topic.

We charge $5.00 at the door for tastings, then they sell off any half bottles and usually they bring two or three of each wine to sell to us at their cost afterwards.

Likes: Assorted cheeses and crackers accompany our meeting and a jolly good time is had by all, as we learn about the world of wine each month. Friendships are created and our club is now up to 14 attendees.

Dislikes: that we have it ONLY once a month.

No, never did, probably won't, don't like someone else being responsible for my picks, pushing their agenda. Like to buy, hold, touch and occassionally drink before purchase.
