Okanagan Falls' Liquidity Wines has rolled out their new "Equity Tasting Club" which will allow consumers to sample wines prior to ordering. Those who sign up for the $75 fee and a commitment to purchase 1+1/2 cases per year will be able to select 6 sample wines packaged in cute 200ml bottles to help you decide what to order.It's a novel and fun idea for the consumer. I, and I'm sure many BC wineries, will be fascinated to learn if the club proves to be financially viable over the long run with so much specialty packaging and bottling involved in the concept. Time will tell. Get in early if you want to give it a go in case it doesn't last.
