About this event

Christmas Crackers: all killers, no fillers.

The pressure is on a little at Christmas. There's probably a mixed audience at the table, from the hip youngsters back for the holidays who are happy with a bit of haze in their glass, to the more conservative wing of the family for whom an orange is definitely a citrus fruit, not a wine style. There's almost certainly a wide variety of foods and flavours to match too.

At this tasting we'll show five wines, a fizz, white, pink, red and, yes, an orange, that are sure fire hits while maybe taking you to parts unknown and staying firmly out of the mainstream. Presented by Robin, Chief Wine Geek, this tasting will show you some wines to make this Christmas more tasty for everyone.

Five wines. Snacks from the GlouGlou kitchen. The stories behind the labels: who made it, where it's from, how it's made, and a little history and context. What better way to spend a couple of hours on a Wednesday evening?
