Wine Society Xmas Gifts

The Wine Society in Stevenage sells wines you can try for free in its Enomatic machine. Leading up to Christmas there's a large range of foods to buy for parties or Xmas stocking gifts, such as cheese, chocolates, cheese flavour crackers, stollen, Italian bread, pheasant pate and pork scratchings.

Using a wooden wine case cover as a cheese board is an amusing idea. I liked the stilton. I heard others praising the cheddar. 

I was disappointed in the smoked salmon. Also in the stollen. I thought the small stollen in a tin was dry and lacked the moist marzipan centre you get in the bigger stollen on offer some years from supermarkets. 

However, I thought the Pannetone with moist fruit scattered through it was excellent. 

Enomatic machine. Pop in your card and pick a drink to taste. The wines offered are changed at regular intervals so there's always something new to try, and, if you like it, buy a bottle. 

To the right of the free Enomatic machine is another Enomatic serving a small shot of premium wines at assorted prices.

Have a taste from this magnum! One of the Xmas Xtra staff. What a great Xmas job to have. 

Not everybody gets out in front helping the customers face to face. In addition more staff are needed operating the phones taking the Xmas orders.

Service and advice from the regular staff at the Xmas wine tasting event in Stevenage. They also have events all over the UK. Here's their events page:
