If you’re unsure of what to decide you can of course abstain or pass your vote to another person!
For each bottle purchased you will receive 1 vote, so the more you buy, the more influence you have. Just like a real election ;-)
You will also be invited to a Whatsapp group to debate the decisions with your members.

To some extent it depends on what you vote for, as well as how far the wine has to travel, but typically your wine will arrive about 18 months after harvest.

It may seem like a lot for a wine if it ends up being not your preferred style. But we like think that really the education and the fun that comes with the experience makes up much more than 50% of the cost. So really it’s bargain!

Once the wine arrives in the UK, we will hold a party in London to celebrate. It's a good chance to collect your wine, avoid delivery fees and meet the fellow members who created the wine with you! This will be the first chance for you to taste all our wines from that vintage.
-
Of course, you can! Once ech year, we organise a self-funded trip to the vineyards and winery (Northern hemisphere) to taste your wine in barrel. Depending on the stage wine making process, we may have blending sessions or acidity adjustment trials so you can make decisions based on how the wine tastes. The trip is free for subscribers with a small admin fee for those who buy by the bottle. You are also more than welcome to visit us at any time, just with less organised fun.

Every vintage we also make a different wine that we sell to shops, bars, restaurants as well as directly to consumers.
These used to be known as the 'dictator' wines but I have too much fun with the 'democratic' wines and so now the subscribers will influence what we make.
We also support young, talented winemakers who want to make their own wines, by placing them at our partner wineries and giving them the opportunity to make a wine for us. The subscribers also have a say in how these are made.
