Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The Wine Club serves as a fun open environment where members can foster a sense of community for Chicago Booth students and their significant others. We seek to educate our members on wine, beer, and spirits from a variety of perspectives.

Members are exposed to the history and business of beverage industries, etiquette, nuanced differences of beverages across the world, as well as culinary and other social events held in a myriad of settings. Gaining a better understanding of viticulture from both fellow classmates and industry experts alike, Wine Club supports members’ exploration of such a vibrant industry and their accumulation of knowledge to serve them for years to come. From novices to full-fledged aficionados, Wine Club provides ample opportunity for everyone to enjoy, share their own knowledge, and learn more about many different types of libations.

With roughly 8+ events per quarter, Wine Club facilitates a diverse set of event programming for members to engage with one another and develop their palates to form a multifaceted appreciation for these fine drinks.

Membership Benefits
Wine, wine, more wine (and beer, and scotch)! We host weekly events, many of which are free for members and include a wide variety of themes - some examples from years past include Reds Versus Whites, Champagne 101 and Cognac Tastings with LVMH, the Art of Toasting with All But Champagne, Blind Tasting Contest, Malbec and Argentine Tapas, Sake and Sushi, a Macallan Scotch Whiskey event and premiere tastings with Médoc and Chateau Palmer. To top it all off, we celebrate the past year and the coming summer with Louis Vuitton each Spring, complete with bottomless Dom Pérignon!

Join Wine Club for access to some of the best events of the year!

Please note that our events are extremely popular so there is a no-show fine ($30/event) associated with missing events for which you RSVP'd. Members with outstanding fines will be unable to RSVP for future events until they have paid their no-show fine. This may be applied for tardiness at certain events as well (e.g., guided tastings), when punctuality is a key component of the experience.
