It’s that time of year again! Thursday the 26th October launches the UK’s largest, Wine Show weekend at the Business Design Centre in Islington, North London. This year it’s touting to be the biggest one yet with thousands of wines to taste as well as lots of show attractions for wine connoisseurs or wine beginners!

Having been last year I can say this is a show not to be missed by those who love wine. Aside from having the chance to sample literally thousands of wines, you get a chance to speak with lots of interesting people in the wine profession. Take advantage of the specials as well because a lot of the vendors have amazing specials when you buy more than one bottle. We snagged often times 3 bottles for £10 on wine that later retailed in the shops for more than 7 or 8 a bottle.

The one thing I was not too impressed with was the lack of food. There was a food hall on the top floor of the centre but that was really about it. Other than that it’s a great afternoon spent sampling wine, learning about new things in the wine world and meeting interesting people.
