Worth Every Drop? Blind Tasting - Chelmsford

Is that £30 bottle really worth three times as much as the £10 one? And can you actually taste the difference?

We all know that wine prices can vary enormously, but what are you really paying for? The grapes, the vineyard, the winemaking, the ageing or simply the name on the label?

Join us for a tasting that puts the price tag to the test. We'll taste six wines side by side, comparing two sparkling, two whites and two reds. Some will be everyday favourites, others a little more special, but the question is the same: does spending more really make a difference?

With the bottles kept under wraps, you'll have the chance to judge each wine for yourself, guess which costs more and decide how much you'd actually be prepared to pay for it. We'll reveal the prices along the way and explore what goes into making some bottles more expensive than others.

There'll be a few surprises, plenty of discussion and perhaps a difference of opinion or two!

You might find that the most expensive wine is your favourite. Or you might discover that a much more affordable bottle gives it a run for its money.

Either way, you'll leave with a better idea of what to look for when buying wine and, hopefully, a few new favourites.
