The area around St Albans in Hertfordshire is lucky enough to have one of the best established and well regarded wine societies in southern England. Founded in 1978 it is characterised by its warmth and informality. Its 80+ members meet nine times a year (always o n a Saturday) in the dining hall of a local secondary school where they entertain speakers from the wine trade, the Wine and Spirit Education Trust – and they take advice from embassies on who can give a good talk on their country's wines.

Last year they had meetings on Canadian Wines, Australia – Standards and Flagships , Champagne and Chocolate and Modern Versus Traditional Wines as well as many others. In the summer they always have a barbecue, and they even have a dented silver cup (bought at a car boot sale for a fiver) that is awarded for a light-hearted annual blind-tasting competition.

Membership costs £10 and tastings are charged according to the cost of the wine and are usually about £10 for members and £12 for guests. Those interested in joining – or just going along to see what the meetings are like, should contact Chairman Richard Foster Tel: 01438 813388 e-mail info@vwtc.org.

The vin end of a curry combo

'Warren Edwardes, chief executive of Delphi Risk Management, also sells wines that go well with curries. Inspired by the Henk Potts duck/venison combo mentioned here yesterday, he suggests (naturally) his own brand - a sweet muscat/cava blend because "my granny in Goa always added a bit of sugar to curry".'
