Usually the group will meet in members’ houses although occasionally a trip out will be organised.

Each member pays a contribution towards the cost of the wine with a limit of £5 per person.

This is run as a typical u3a group with different members of the group leading each meeting with perhaps a new wine or one of their favourites.

It is expected two or three bottles of wine will be tasted and discussed at each meeting. A background of the wine – grape, region – maybe an expert comment – will also be provided where possible.
