Many of us enjoy being socially active. We share with people our interests, and become part of organizations that help us pursue those passions. If you are a wine lover like me, joining a club is a great idea because it exposes you to a world of opportunities as a wine enthusiast.

Joining a social group is generally seen as a way for anyone to feel a sense of belongingness. It always feels good to become part of a world where your interests are appreciated, doesn't it? Being part of a specific group, you will find people who completely understand your interests and help you make the most out of your passion.

Are you so interested in wines and in knowing more about it? Are you thrilled by the mystery behind great, select grapes turning into a rich beverage? A wine club is the best social group for you. For every wine lover - from novice enthusiasts to connoisseurs and everyone in between - wine clubs or cellar clubs are a major hit.

Access to great wine deals is perhaps one of the best and most sought-after benefits of joining a wine club. Just like for any interest group, it is almost a given for wine clubs to be affiliated with manufacturers and companies that produce, distribute and sell all varieties. Many such groups are also often backed by individuals in the wine business. In addition, a cellar club also purchases wines in huge quantities, yielding each bottle cheaper for their members as exclusive consumers. If you are a wine club member (and depending on your membership type or level), you can have premium access to discounts and even freebies.

If you are fond of collecting wines, you will find it more convenient to become a wine club member. Just as they give great wine deals, most wine societies can offer you hint on the best varieties and brands for your collection.

If the basic idea of wines gives you the thrill, a wine society gives you access to the latest information - and in the most interesting of ways. You can expect getting a bunch of periodic newsletters detailing what you shouldn't be missing out as an avid drinker or collector. You will also get a glimpse of the goings-on in the wine industry in your area and around the globe. When you join a wine club, you can be a wine expert not only in terms of consuming this classic beverage; you'll definitely learn what's behind all that.

Wine club meet-ups and gatherings are usually held a number of times each year. You and your co-members will enjoy VIP wine tasting and pairing, featuring a new bottle to be uncorked every time. During this private occasion, you can expect a lot of sipping, savoring, smelling and drinking of the finest wine. The most elite of wine clubs invite wine experts and fly them into the venue. As such, wine club gatherings also involve a lot of exclusive chatting and interaction, all in the name of great wines.

Members of top international wine clubs get the chance to visit the finest vineyards and first class wineries all over the globe. If you love traveling, you will enjoy such world tours to places best known for their wines. If you're lucky, you can go globetrotting in the name of your favorite drink for free.
