John Booth wines evolved from having a shop called Booths for the last 27 years. The shop sold fine food and wine and had been selected by the Which wine guide and the Sunday Telegraph guide plus numerous mentions by other writers.
For the past 25 years I have enjoyed hosting events, tasting and
talking about wine with hundreds of societies and clubs, private
functions and corporate events, and in people's own homes, in a fun and
informal way. My style is relaxed and informal, with a mixture of
quizzes, anecdotes and audience participation.
Your event can be as formal or informal as you like with the number
of guests ranging from as few as 12 to over 100. We can tailor all
events to meet your individual requirements. Prices start from as little
as £6 per head and depends on the number of tasters in the group,
location, wines you would like to taste and prizes etc.
The format for a LARGE GROUP EVENT is generally a blind tasting of up
to 8 different wines (4 whites and 4 reds) with quiz questions based
around these. Questions are all quite easy - no need to be a
connoisseur! We split the audience into teams of 6-8 and there is
usually a good amount of lively audience participation in a fun, relaxed
but competitive atmosphere. The evening lasts about 2.5 hours
including a break for around 20 minutes in the middle. All glasses and
materials provided. Minimum number of guests is 40
