Hannington Wine Society
Since the wine society was first started in June 2005, we have had a variety of presenters who have talked and given us extremely interesting information about the vineyards, the grapes, the winemakers, the countries and bought along some excellent wines for us to taste which has given everyone a small insight into the very large world of wine.
There have been visits to English vineyards and have learnt all about the making of champagne during our trip to the champagne houses in Reims.
You do not have to know anything about wine to come to our meetings, because that is what it is there for.
We learn in a relaxed friendly atmosphere and try wines that we may not have thought about buying ourselves because we didn’t know what it was like, and carried on buying the wine we always buy because we know it.
The people who are already members are a great friendly bunch, so you would not feel out of it if you came by yourself.
There are members from the village and also from Ecchinswell, Wolverton Common, Ramsdell, Hook, Basingstoke and Bracknell. Word has got around!
