Come Wine With Us!

by

Head on down to Farmborough Community Shop for a fun wine tasting evening where we will be pitting reds against whites to see who comes out on top!

We will be introducing the world’s first ‘Wine Swingometer’ to gather opinions and display the final result, as well as debating the burning questions of our time:

– what colour does Farmborough prefer – red or white?

– what three words describe each of the six wine candidates? and

– who will win the final vote to become PW (Prime Wine)?

‘Come Wine With Us’, Thursday 14 November from 6.30pm!

Cost to sample all 6 wines – £3.50, subsequent glasses of wine £3.50 each. Bottles of wine will also be available to purchase, along with any items available in the shop.
