Joining the society
Membership in the University Wine Society is a rewarding experience. Our membership is as broad as the University's: from wine aficionados right through to people who just want to try something new. The main benefits of membership are you get a reduced charge for tastings, as opposed to a normal fee for non-members. Additionally as a member you'll receive priority in allocating places for tastings which are oversubscribed.
 
Members are also able to apply for exclusive dinners during term. Over the past several years, dinners have centered on wines from producers such as Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château D'Yquem and Château Palmer. Among the highlights of the past few years, Wine Society Members have also enjoyed exclusive Champagne tastings with Pol Roger, Gosset, Ruinart, and Bollinger.
 
Membership to CUWS provides useful discounts which are available at various Cambridge wine retailers, when you produce your Wine Society membership card. These are:
      10% discount at Cambridge Wine Merchants
      15% discount at Italian Wines Direct on orders made via website, e-mail or telephone
      10% discount on tours with Barossa Tours to the Barrossa and Clare Valleys in Australia.
