Newby to creating a wine list Dear all The small sports club I am treasurer of are looking at the possibility of introducing a wine list for the more formal gatherings of the members (Ladies nights, Annual dinner, etc). I am looking for some help with regards to creating a wine list from scratch. As far as I am aware, none of the memers (or their wives) are wine experts and basically anjoy a good glbutt (or two) of wine with their meal. It is only a small club, and the average number of people at evenings such as this is about 50 spread over eight or nine tables. Plus, we are based in England. Some of the questions I wouldn't mind having answered are: How many different wines should we look to include? (i.e. 4 bottles of red and white, or whatever) Should we stick to the basic wines (I am buttuming this is yes) and maybe have one or two bottles of 'different' wines on offer. What would be the make up of the list - for example, say the general consensus is to have 4 wines of each type, would you have say, a bottle of French, a bottle of Italian and two bottles of New World (Australian, Chilean, etc) or something different (also apologies but I'm not sure what bracket American wine comes in - is it clbutted under New World?) Plus any other tips or thoughts would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance Steve Flanagan
