Wine Of The Week Round-Up 2011

We've had superb regular threads running this year such as the Onwards & Downwards Club, The Quzzies & Puzzles Round Up and, of course, the Wine of the Week thread.

Hosted by No Mercy this thread offers a chance for oenophiles, bacchi and those who just fancy a glass every now and again to come together. The thread usually features a few wines for differing tastes as well as news on where you can find them on offer!

If you want to join in they're usually started on a Thursday, just in time for the weekend!

Here we offer a round-up of all the WOTW threads posted in 2011 so you can see if there's anything recommend to take your fancy!
