Bin Ends Wine Tasting Club

Welcome
to the webpage of the Bin Ends Wine Tasting Club. You will have arrived here after curiously clicking the link in your email about the next meeting. The point of this page is to act as a repositry of what was tasted, maintain details of what's coming up and anything else of relevance. It sits under the protective wing of the Birmingham Plus site, run by Chris and myself, largely because its convenient but feel free to look around using the links at the top of the page. binends@birminghamplus.com

The mechanics of obtaining sufficient wine for the size of the group mean that it is not possible to arrange meetings on an ad hoc basis but if you would like to be included on our mailing list, which enables you to reserve places for a tasting, please use the form below:
