Each of the drinks will be a cuvee, and that will form the theme for the evening, finding the perfect match. Entertainment is guaranteed as Izabella Zwack will present a lively ‘Perfect Match Wine Quiz’, and we’ll have a card game with guests meeting members of the opposite sex – winners will receive a special prize of a surprise drink.

Remember to bring plenty of your name-cards for both business and personal networking - we hope you might meet your perfect match - and also because there will be a raffle with prizes from Izabella, The Caledonia Budapest, DressME, The British Pantry, and more. Finally, to fit the theme of 'Perfect Match' we might even play a few rounds of ‘Spin The Bottle’, just for fun, like in the good old days.

There is nothing old fashioned about the wine on offer, as all makers are ‘New Generation’ Hungarians with something unique to say with their blends. Here’s the wine list of two whites, two reds, and an extra special sweet one:

* Miklós Csabi Móri Haramia
* Szecskő Tamás Mátrai Kecskekő
* Kislaki Bormanufaktúra Birtokvörös
* Bolyki János Egri Bikavér
* Dobogó Pincészet Tokaji Mylitta

Friendly Warning:

There have recently been new wine clubs trying to copy the format, and even the name of our Xpat Wine Club. Some of them trying to hold their gatherings on the same date and time as XpatLoop.com events. You may know who we are talking about as they wildly boast about being the 'Hottest Wine Club in Town', and they use other such empty hype.

While we appreciate that imitation is a form of flattery, we would encourage loyal Xpats to decide to boycott any events that blatantly copy the existing format and good name of well established wine clubs such as ours.

Please note the TimeOut Budapest Wine Club is a partner of XpatLoop.com and we encourage Xpats to consider attending their forthcoming February event.
