At each meeting, members vote to choose the best white wine and the best red wine. As our programme explores regions and grapes both familiar and unfamiliar, these choices can help you to find wines that may be new to you, confident that they received a vote of confidence from the members.
To help you search, you may click on any column header to sort by that column.
As suppliers lists change from time to time, we have tried to find a current source for each wine, but regrettably some of the wines made by small dedicated suppliers may not always be available.
The price bands shown are based on the prices when we built the table. A represents < £10; B is £10 – £15; C is £15 to £20; D is £20 – £25; and E is over £25.
